Apple iPhone 8 Won’t Get Outshine By iPhone X

One of the significant design changes in the new iPhone 8 configuration was the shiny glass back. Also, the iPhone X is the only Apple smartphone to come with an OLED display.

Apple has just refreshed its iPhone lineup.

CNBC on Sunday released its FactSet data showing Apple shedding approximately US$50bn from its market value. Many wanted to get their hands on the wearable right away because online sales are on back order and won’t be fulfilled for three to five weeks, he said in a report.

Apple’s iPhone X was one of the most awaited smartphones of this year. Meanwhile the iPhone 8 series goes on sale in India from September 29. The 256GB variant has been priced at Rs 86,000.

There had been hints that iPhone 8 demand was lower than previous models earlier this month, when the company started offering pre-orders on the iPhone 8. This is a week later than the day they go on pre-order in the USA and some other nations. Even exchanging a static-filled iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus for a replacement model hasn’t done the trick either. I really didn’t see any discernible difference in day-to-day use.

Other than the small chin on the top, the iPhone X is a bezel-less beauty. This is my first-time queuing overnight for something. It’s because the wireless charging coil is attached to a reinforcement panel that is glued strongly to the back. Using the Qi wireless charging standard, that means you can place it on your car’s arm rest or Ikea furniture, some of which have the wireless charging feature built in.

Though a report from Engadget states that Apple sourced modems on iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X from both Intel and Qualcomm.

So, if a user is looking for an upgrade from the last generation iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, there is no reason to upgrade. Apple iPhone 8 is priced at Rs 64,000 for the 64GB variant, while the 256GB costs Rs 77,000.

As for the hardware inside, iFixit found out quite a few components similar to the iPhone 7. The handset features Apple’s latest processor, the A11 Bionic chip and runs the latest version of iOS.

Samsung is always being in the competition when it comes to its camera performance. It also features dual rear-facing camera setup consisting of two 12-megapixel sensors, out of which, the primary camera has a wide-angle lens and the secondary camera has a telephone lens with 2x optical zoom.
