Apple iPhone 8, 256GB, Silver (Renewed)

Product Information

We also decided to test the slow-sync flash. As promised, it lets in some of the ambient light and makes the image look more natural. Or to simplify it - you don't look like a zombie anymore. But using it requires holding the camera extra still. Accessibility features help people with disabilities get the most out of their new iPhone 8. With built-in support for vision, hearing, mobility, and learning, you can fully enjoy the world’s most personal device. Learn more aboutAccessibility

FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply. The iPhone 8 features a wide-angle camera with f/1.8 six element lens and a larger, faster sensor -- though still 12 MP. Optical image stabilisation is on board, same as the iPhone 7. The 7 MP FaceTime HD camera is still in front for selfies. In short, upgrades have been made, and the cameras are noticeably better, but not excessively so. Certainly not a big enough difference for 7 users to consider purchasing this new phone. The story looks a little different on the Apple iPhone 8 Plus, the real choice for serious photographers. Further Highlights & Options Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p through Lightning Digital AV Adapter and Lightning to VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately) 6 Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 11GB to 14GB of space (including iOS and preinstalled apps) depending on the model and settings.

When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.06 inches (iPhone 14), 6.12 inches (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15), 6.68 inches (iPhone 14 Plus) or 6.69 inches (iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Plus) diagonally. Actual viewable area is less.

For starters - there is more resolved detail, and the samples are noticeably sharper even in the corners. There is a new noise reduction as promised - it leaves a bit more noise but smears less fine detail, especially in low light.

iPhone 8 vs. iPhone 7: Build

The new camera also comes with a new file format, yes, JPG's days are numbered. At least as far Apple is concerned. iOS 11 now saves all images in the HEIF file format and videos in HEVC (H.265) video format by default. This is done because of the more efficient compression these files provide. We can confirm - photos take about half as much space as before (1.4MB HEIF vs. 3MB JPG), and the same goes for videos. iPhone 8 slow-sync flash • iPhone 7 normal flash • iPhone 8 slow-sync flash • iPhone 7 normal flash Apple iPhone 8 brings new video recording modes, all of them - optically stabilized as usual. There are now 4K at 60fps and 1080p at 240fps. Those are available exclusively when the camera is set to store pictures and videos on the new high-efficiency format (H.265 HEVC). The regular 4K at 30 fps, 1080p at 30, and 1080p at 60fps are available for both H.264 and HEVC. And now there is a new film mode as well - 4K at 24fps.
