iPhone 8 it's not the iPhone X, despite the many confusions that are currently being made in the press, generating even more confusion among those who are eagerly waiting for the products Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. Various confusing things are being said in the media these days, but what must be understood is that the iPhone 8 is a different model than the iPhone X, and the differences will be very big, not only in terms of price, but also in terms of functions.
The iPhone 8 is what we knew until now as the iPhone 7S, the Apple company choosing to skip the 7S designation to offer a more "powerful" one for its new phone. iPhone X is a name strong enough to generate the idea that the product has many new functions, but iPhone 7S suggests that it is an intermediate version with few functions, so Apple will use the name iPhone 8.
The iPhone 8 also contains the number 8, which is considered to be extremely lucky in China, and there the Apple company needs a lot of luck in the fight with local manufacturers. iPhone 8 needs extremely good sales to be noticed by Chinese consumers, and those from Apple must use all marketing tactics to promote this phone in parallel with iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.
iPhone 8 is NOT iPhone X, what you need to know
The iPhone 8 will not have a 5.8-inch diagonal screen that covers the entire front panel, it will not have Touch ID, it will not have a 3D Front camera and not even 3 GB of RAM. The iPhone 8 will not have a dual camera, although the iPhone 8 Plus will have one, and its process should be inferior to that used in the iPhone X, the two phone models still sharing the wireless charging system implemented by Apple.
The iPhone 8 will also have a glass case, just like the iPhone X, but it will still have the Home button and Touch ID, the battery will be smaller than the one used in the bigger "brother". Differences between iPhone 8 and iPhone X will be enough and it is good to know from the beginning which of the two models you have to consider because the second one will be available in extremely limited quantities.
The iPhone 8 will be cheaper than the iPhone X, this being its big advantage in the battle with the premium model, but this is because it will have much fewer changes offered by Apple. iPhone 8 and iPhone X will be presented together and offered for pre-order together, but the official launch will be different, the first one will go on sale earlier than the second one, as many expected, by the way.
iPhone 8 and iPhone X will be presented tomorrow evening starting at 19:30 and I'm waiting for you on iDevice.ro to discuss absolutely all the news.
