Meet the iPhone 8
It looks more or less like the iPhone 7, but with a glass back. It comes in three colors — silver, space gray and a new gold finish that looks like a hybrid between gold and rose gold.
And it’s a beast. It has a new A11 Bionic chip, improved camera sensors and image processors, a true tone display and more.
New Photo Features
Thanks to a better GPU, the camera app lets you mimic studio effects. You’ll need an iPhone 8 Plus for this feature as it requires two cameras to analyze depth in the picture.

It looked quite impressive during the demo. But the iPhone 8 is nothing compared to…
Real star--iPhone X!!!
The real star of the show was the iPhone X. With an impressive edge-to-edge display, the iPhone X feels like a giant screen. There’s a cut out at the top for all the camera and proximity sensors, but it’s still quite convincing.
It comes with many of the components of the iPhone 8, but adds a couple of features…
Goodbye, Touch ID
If you love the fingerprint sensor in your phone, it’s time to say goodbye. Apple is replacing the home button with Face ID. It uses infrared sensors to build a 3D map of your face (even in the dark) so that you can unlock your phone just by looking at it.

Apple promises that it’s very secure and that all apps that rely on Touch ID will be able to use Face ID.

Are animojis creepy or what?
Apple had a great, awesome idea. What if you could record an audio message and use these face tracking sensors to make you look like a fox, an alien or a pig?
These are animojis, and you’re either going to love them or hate them.
Wireless Charging Everywhere
Finally, Apple announced that the iPhone 8 and iPhone X will support wireless charging. There will be an optional charging case for the AirPods. And the Apple Watch already charges wirelessly.
Apple is going to sell its own wireless charger, the AirPower. But it’s supposed to come out in 2018. Fortunately, you can also buy a Qi-compatible wireless charger on Amazon as Apple is using the industry standard this time around.
Most Expensive Ever
If you’ve already fallen in love with the iPhone X, it’s going to cost quite a lot of money.
The iPhone 8/iPhone 8 Plus is coming out on September 22 for $699/$799 with 64GB of storage. There’s a 256GB option.
The iPhone X is coming out on November 3 (pre-orders on October 27) for $999 with 64GB. Of course, you can pay more for 256GB.
The iPhone SE, 6s, 6s Plus, 7 and 7 Plus are also sticking around.
And that’s how Apple ends up printing a lot of money. And we will tell you where to buy the cheapest new iPhones, shhhh!

Price Comparisons
Subjecting to different foreign exchange rates, prices of iPhone vary from regions to regions. Here is the price(RMB) comparison for reference only.
So, can you figure out where you can buy the cheapest iPhone?
Exactly! In America of course! And in Japan maybe ...
Or, if you are in China, you’d better buy in Hongkong for the price is much cheaper than in China mainland.
How about paying by installment with a total price of 8388RMB in China mainland? That is, paying 724RMB per month in a year. It means that the phone just costs 24RMB per day, 1RMB per hour!
Sounds more reasonable?
Go go go!
