A beautiful mind.
iPhone 8 introduces an all?new glass design. The world?s most popular camera now even better. The smartest most powerful chip ever in a smartphone. Wireless charging That's truly effortless.1 And augmented reality experiences never before possible. iPhone 8. A new generation of iPhone.
Design
An iPhone formed from glass.
How do you build an iPhone out of durable glass that also allows for wireless charging? By formulating a new kind of glass. Reinforcing it with a laser?welded steel foundation and an aerospace?grade aluminium band. And engineering it down to the micron for water resistance.
The most durable glass ever in a smartphone.
The front and back feature custom-engineered glass with a 50 per cent deeper strengthening layer. A new steel substructure and a stronger aerospace?grade 7000 Series aluminium band provide additional reinforcement. And an oleophobic coating lets you easily wipe off smudges and fingerprints.
Three new finishes.
iPhone 8 comes in three new glass finishes: space grey silver and gold. A six?layer ink process allows for precise hues opacity and rich depth of colour. And the colour?matched aluminium band complements the glass beautifully.
Resists water splashes and dust.
iPhone 8 is precision-engineered at the microscopic level to protect against water splashes and dust.
Wireless charging for a wireless world.
we've always intended iPhone to be a truly wireless device free from charging cables and headphone cords. With a glass back and an embedded wireless charging system iPhone 8 is designed for a wireless future.

We asked amateur and professional photographers around the world to take iPhone 8 and shoot what inspires them. The images they captured are beautiful examples of what the cameras on iPhone 8 can do.
A11 Bionic
Can you create a chip That's both powerful and intelligent? For iPhone 8 and iPhone X we did. Meet A11 Bionic the smartest and most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone.
Unprecedented power.
With six cores and 4.3 billion transistors A11 Bionic has four efficiency cores that are up to 70 per cent faster than the A10 Fusion chip and two performance cores that are up to 25 per cent faster. The CPU can even harness all six cores simultaneously when you need a turbo boost.
Engineered for efficiency.
A11 Bionic manages its enormous power intelligently by directing tasks between the performance and efficiency cores. So the things you do most often ? like texting and browsing the web ? happen quickly while using less energy.
Augmented reality. Augmented.
With the A11 Bionic chip AR games and apps reach a new level of fluidity and realism.
Silicon made for Metal 2 and Core ML.
Metal 2 is Apple?designed graphics software that lets developers build console?style games. And Core ML enables developers to integrate machine learning into their apps. The GPU in A11 Bionic is optimised for these new immersive 3D games and AR experiences.
Wireless Charging
How do you make an iPhone designed for a wireless world? By building on wireless technology like headphones and advanced networking to introduce easy wireless charging. The glass back together with an efficient charging system allows you to simply set down iPhone 8 to charge it up.
Designed to work everywhere.
We wanted people to enjoy the convenience of wireless charging anywhere. So iPhone 8 works with Qi wireless chargers commonly found in hotels caf?s airports and cars. Belkin and mophie have also developed two new wireless chargers designed for iPhone 8.
