The Apple iPhone 8 Plus bring a new design with glass on the front and back, the latest Apple A11 Bionic six-core chipset, new cameras, louder stereo speakers and new durable glass. Underneath the glass the 5.5-inch display is a new unit but of the same resolution as the ones on the iPhone 7/7 Plus.
Customers still get 3D Touch, Cinema Wide Color Gamut and True Tone. The two phones are still water resistant as well.
The iPhone 8 Plus look the same as their predecessors only instead of a glass front and aluminum sides and back, the new phones come with a glass front and with a series 7000 aluminum frame in between. Apple boasts that the glass is the most durable in any smartphone.
