Apple’s latest smartphones, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, are coming to Smart Communications.
Despite how more interesting the iPhone X is, the fuss regarding its supply and its crazy-expensive price tag might lure consumers to the more reasonable iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
The new iPhones turns out to be the more refined version of its predecessors. For the first time ever, wireless charging is now present in the iPhone. This is thanks to its new, all-glass back panel. Apple also introduced their new A11 Bionic Chp to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
This unlocks the devices’ Augmented Reality (AR) prowess — from the new Portrait Lighting effect on the camera, developed apps via ARKit, and quite a few more. The chipset is also 70% faster and more efficient than its predecessor, the A10 Fusion.
