The camera is really what separates the iPhone 8 from the iPhone 8 Plus — if you’re really into "iPhoneography", you’ll want to hear this!
The iPhone 8 Plus camera is a 12 MP wide-angle and telephoto camera capable of 10x digital zoom. Unlike the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 Plus also supports optical zoom.
If you’re more into recording videos, you’ll be excited to know that the iPhone 8 Plus can record 4K video at 24, 30, or 60 frames per second (fps) and 1080p HD video at 30 or 60 fps.
Although the iPhone 8 Plus doesn’t have increased storage capacities from the iPhone 8 (64 GB and 256 GB), you’ll still have more than enough space to download all of your favorite movies, T.V. shows, songs, games, apps, and more.
With dual stereo speakers at the top and bottom of the phone, the iPhone 8 Plus can be used as a wireless speaker whether you’re at the gym, park, beach, or wherever else you like to enjoy your favorite songs. One of the stereo speakers is located near the top of the phone next to the front-facing FaceTime camera, while the other is located at the very bottom of the phone to the right of the charging port.
The Home button of the iPhone 8 Plus has a built-in fingerprint sensor which can recognize the prints of any and all of your fingers. This sensor, known as Touch ID, can be used to confirm purchases, unlock your iPhone, and so much more.
The iPhone 8 Plus was one of the first iPhones to be equipped with an A11 Bionic chip, the fastest and most powerful chip used in an iPhone upon its release. The A11 Bionic chip’s efficiency cores are vastly superior to those of the A10 Fusion chip (used in the iPhone 7 & 7 Plus), increasing speeds by about 70%. The A11 Bionic chip’s three-core graphics processing unit (GPU) is also about 30% faster than the A10’s GPU.
