At today’s Apple Event in California, USA, the company revealed its new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. The new device will include a new, faster chip and 12 MP dual rear cameras, and Apple said it has been designed with 3D apps and games in mind.
In addition, the phone will ship with a new "Retina HD" display, as well as new speakers that are 25% louder than before. The company drew particular attention to the cameras, which will apparently capture the highest quality video ever in a smartphone, including 4K video. iPhone 8 will feature a 4.7" display, and 8 Plus a 5.5" one.
Other features include AR functionality and wireless charging–simply place it on top of the charging device rather than plugging it in. iPhone 8 will start at $699 and 8 Plus at $799–both will ship starting September 22, with preorders starting seven days earlier.
The company called the new device "a huge step forward for iPhone," 10 years after the original model launched worldwide.
Elsewhere in the presentation, Apple announced a new Apple TV device and showed off Sky, a new game from the developer of Journey. Thatgamecompany’s new game is coming exclusively to iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV this winter.
