One of the most anticipated releases of the year for smartphones are always the new iPhones. In September, as usual, Apple presented the iPhone 8 and 8 iPhone Plus, at the newly opened Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, in the brand new Apple Park. 6v3t5f
O hyping by the appliances was great, but it lasted until the 'One more thing' said by the company's CEO, Tim Cook, who presented the iPhone X, the real revolution since Apple produced and launched your first smartphone 10 years ago.
There was no lack of criticism for the new models: the iPhone 8 would be a '6ssss' iPhone, as some said, others argued that it would be unthinkable to pay one thousand dollars (or seven thousand reais) on a cell phone and, finally, that the innovation at Apple was dead.
Some of these statements could even make sense in the United States, however, in Brazil, with an audience that doesn't change their smartphone every year, even more when we talk about models , it takes a little more care to speak ill of new iPhone 8 e 8 iPhone Plus, for now the only ones launched in the country.
And in a nutshell: they really impress. For one month, the showmetech tested the new ones iPhone 8 e 8 iPhone Plus, provided by Apple, and now we tell everything in this analysis:
Design 145g70
The new ones iPhones are the most beautiful already released by Apple and, if my judgment doesn't convince you, you can check out their photos. With 4,7 inches not iPhone 8 e 5,5 inches on the iPhone 8 Plus, we're not really looking at a iPhone 6, 6s or even 7.
With the glass back, “the toughest in a smartphone”, according to the Apple , he has such a look how much is expected. The edges are of stainless steel da 7000 series, even used in Apple Watch, and the front is also glass, following the familiar natural with borders, FaceTime HD camera, sound out, microphone, and the capacitive home button with integrated Touch ID.
What struck me from the back was the missing fingerprint than my old iPhone 7 Jet Black left. At least in models golden e silver, you will struggle to find a brand on it, which, in addition to making the touch more pleasant, always leaves the phone looking like it just came out of the box.
The evolution of iPhone 8 is also in the smallest details throughout the design: forget about the homologation certificates, the antenna lines and, in the back cover, see only the inscription “iPhone” and the logo of the Apple . O quad-tone flash, the microphone and the big cameras thank you.
O iPhone 8 also follows last year's model and no longer has the standard headphone jack. The will have to be content with the input lightning to to charge e listen to music – or venture into the world of headphones bluetooth.
Although familiar, this it's not the same iPhone as four years ago and unless you purchased an iPhone 7 Jet Black in the last release, it doesn't look like no other Apple smartphone.
The new model comes in colors space gray, golden (which looks like cream) and silver (which resembles white and ceramic). Still about the finish: one of the most noticeable things is how this cell phone turned out pesado corn.
“The most resistant glass” gives more to those who did not find the light aluminum do iPhone 6. It seems that Apple stopped worrying about having the lightest and thinnest smartphone on the market to have a cell phone more resistent and with a footprint firmer.
For curiosity: the 8 iPhone Plus found the floor a few times without a case, but still showed no marks. It was accidentally knocked off a desk, some tables, and once my lap, but on surfaces.”friendly”, like a wooden floor.
Although it is sturdy, I do not expect this device, and neither is yours, go against the asphalt of the street.

Among the LCD s, the two iPhones have the best quality on the market. The colors are eye-popping and, thanks to Retina HD, the does not see any distortion in the image or color. It's impressive.
Counting on a resolution Full HD, of 1920 x 1080 pixels, 8 iPhone Plus brings a density of 401 ppi. already the iPhone 8, by the smaller screen, has a resolution HD +, of 1334 x 740 pixels, with a density of 326 ppi.
But the most important thing for me, when talking about the screen, is the technology true Tone, unique and exclusive to these iPhones, from the iPhone X and the new line iPad Pro.
O true Tone makes the experience of looking at the screen of the iPhone something more natural. we are not talking about night shift, which 'yellows' the in the dark to avoid getting so much blue light straight into your eyes. The big difference here is that, thanks to True Tone, the screen is always in the same color than the environment.
It may not seem like a big deal, but with technology, it's always comfortable look at the information on the screen. Whether in a yellowish or ambient light, it's a natural transition that helps not to irritate the eyes. A dot more than positive on iPhones.
Performance 58a2u
In this section, we will talk about MacBook, I mean, of the fastest smartphone on the market: not only benchmarks impress, but the Apple did nonsense with the chip A11 Bionic and its 2 GB of RAM on iPhone 8 – ing that, in the model Plus, that's 3 GB of RAM.
According to Apple, the new iPhones are 70% faster and have a GPU 30% more efficient than the previous version, which was already quite fast, by the way. Even when viewing the performance graph of smartphones from Apple , you can see that the company makes smaller and even faster chips.
Open multiple games, work through iPhone, use social media or edit a 4k video by the iMovie. It's really very simple and fast, but you already know that.
day 1 of iPhone 8 is the same as the iPhone 7: quick as a snap, effective and enjoyable to use. But if you have an iPhone 6s or earlier, then you will be impressed by the A11 Bionic.
That's because the processor is also ready for applications in Augmented Reality: Pokémon GO, Egg Inc., The Machines… just harness the power of the new cameras and the A11 chip.
The only 'choke' do iPhone is in Portraits with the Studio Lighting function, which when switching to the “Stage Light” option, it may take a few three seconds until iPhone identifies the object, cuts it out, and darkens the surroundings.
Already under the hood, the new chip A11 has six cores, four for basic activities and two for heavier activities. They are so energy efficient, that when I access social media in the morning, I 30 minutes our 100%, but that is a subject for the “Battery” section.
During my experience with iPhone 8 Plus, I noticed that it got hot in heavier games or when using it while charging from a power outlet. 10w do iPad, which is not strange.
No iPhone 8, I had some major problems, with the device warming up even in WhatsApp, which was pretty weird
iOS 11 z1v30
O iOS is by far the system more reliable for smartphones, either because developers seem to be more careful with their applications or because the Apple updates are always released, but the iOS 11, so far in the version 11.1.2, looks not be 100%.
In fact, the iPhone 8 could be presented these heating problems for some bugs of the system, as it was difficult to see an application crashing in 8 Plus or taking too long to load.
In general, the iOS 11 shows that, without having to reinvent the wheel, the system could be more intuitive than ever. Of the novelties of this version, I highlight:
- New control center;
- Screen recording;
- a Wi-Fi network by approaching another iPhone or iPad in iOS 11;
- Do not disturb automatic while driving;
- New HEIC image standard that takes up half the space of a JPEG photo.

Cameras 353z5z
This is one of the most important points when talking about iPhone: yours camera.
Despite continuing with the same 12 SM in the main and 7 SM on camera Selfie, it is important to note that the set of lenses e sensors and another.
These cameras have been optimized for the use of Augmented Reality. Games like The Machines are the best experience to talk about how the AR on iPhones: when recognizing a flat surface, a world appears in front of the phone's screen. Approach the device and move to have different views about the game.
Now, speaking of camera, we are talking about photos e clips and except for the images where both iPhones appear, all the others were taken by them.
Although we have a single camera No. iPhone 8, you can blur the image background using manual focus. In the same way that the canvas makes the colors pop to the eye, the photographs taken do the same. The definition, colors and level of contrast make this camera one of the best on the market, second only to the camera itself. 8 Plus and iPhone X.
Furthermore, even at night, the photos have their value – although I don't like to use the flash.
When we talk about camera from Selfie, the photos come out very nice, with good definition and, of course, an ambient light helps.
Selfies in the dark, however, mainly with the flash front, didn't turn out as good as expected. Check out examples:
Now, what really made me take my cell phone out of my pocket more was the dual camera do 8 iPhone Plus. It needs less light when using the telephoto lens, so the zoom meeting it's even better.
Furthermore, we are grateful for optical stabilization when recording video on any of the cell phones.
Portrait Lighting: A whole set on your iPhone 4q375y
The biggest novelty of the camera is in the Portrait Mode and in the "portrait lighting“. Apple promises an entire studio in the palm of your hand.
The tip for taking good photos is to take backgrounds with a lot of information. It's no use trying to blur a white wall behind the person. Look for a crowded street, a graffiti wall or a flowery park. The more information for the iPhone to identify in the background, more beautiful the effect comes out.
There are currently five modes: 415r6u
- Natural light;
- Studio Light;
- Contour light;
- Stage Light;
- Mono Stage Light.
taking these last two, which are more difficult to use, as they only leave the main object highlighted and the rest black, the lighting modes are extremely effective, as you can see in the photos in the section:
Battery 554u5p
They say that owners of iPhone always need to have a taken close by to walk around with their smartphones, but the iPhone 8 may have broken this barrier.
Despite having a smaller storage capacity than the previous model, thanks to the with and processing, the autonomy of use around here ends up being better than the past models.
With 8 iPhone Plus, on moderate days of use (social networks, music, messages, some videos, emails and games), I was able to unplug the cell phone at 10h and just put it back at 2 am. On busier days, or even boredom, when playing more games, the battery lasts around 8-9 hours.
With iPhone 8, also in moderate use, I get an autonomy of a whole day: from 7h until 23h. Not bad, is it?
Um pontine negative, however, is the loader. Wait three hours to go from 0 to 100% in the charger 5W pattern. Such as Apple promised, smartphones fast loading, but the accessory that comes in the box does not.
Already using the iPad charger, which has the double power, it takes a little less than two hours. However, in a market where all competitors have fast charging, it is frustrating have to pay for a charger 29w (from the new MacBook Pro) and a cable USB-C to lightning to have half full battery in 15 minutes.

Despite all the explanation above, this is where the differentials of the new iPhones, more objective e one-off. Below, I also make a point of return some points:
- True Tone Screen;
- 25% better stereo audio than iPhone 7 (the difference is noticeable);
- First iPhone with wireless charging, despite Apple Brazil not selling a Mophie or Belkin base;
- First iPhone with fast charging, despite Apple not including the accessory in the box;
- Cameras and software prepared for Augmented Reality applications;
- Economical processor making the battery last longer.
Conclusion 60664y
Finally, we are talking about a new iPhone, with changes commonly requested by s. Okay, the front is the same, most features work on other devices… but the internal and external changes are noticeable and make all the difference.
If the has a iPhone 6s or earlier, the exchange is already more than valid: either for the extra power, for the cameras with greater definition and recording in 4K a 60 fps, the second generation of Touch ID, the even better display, the clearer and more balanced audio, the Portrait Mode with Portrait Lighting, the shipment wireless, fast charging…
Phew, realized how much thing?
