hey everybody this is dieter bone at the Steve Jobs theater in Apple Park in Cupertino their brand-new theater and we're looking at the brand new iPhone 8 and the most obvious thing you're going to notice and you pick up one of these things this is the iPhone 8 plus is that it now has a glass back apple says it's the hardest glass ever put on a phone sure it does pick up fingerprints but really not that bad and it's got sort of a nice cloudy finish under the glass so I think it looks way better than the seven actually they also did a really good job blending in the glass into the edge of the rail on the side otherwise everything else is pretty much like the iPhone 7 that you know it still has touch ID unlike the iPhone 10 it still uses that you know forced touch things so it's not a physical button on the back is 212 picked 12 megapixel cameras and then of course the regular iPhone 8 just has one but on the 8 plus it's actually really impressive because it uses optical image stabilization so your telephotos will be a little less shaky and when you jump into the thing you can go right into portrait mode and you can choose all these different options that will automatically adjust the light and when you point it at somebody's face so you can identify this guy here it will move closer it'll automatically set it to the stage lighting Apple of course has a bunch of sample shots here so this one's really impressive here's the portrait and we can adjust so here's what it looks like with the effects this is the original photo they were able to identify the face and then apply a bunch of different lighting effects assume just the face which is really impressive is it as impressive as actually doing a thing with the DSLR yeah maybe not but it's way better than any other camera gimmick I've seen before inside there is a new chip it's Apple calls it the a 11 Bionic it's a fast chip you know they're always faster the display is a retina HD display and it has true ton like an iPad pro and what that means is the it will detect the ambient light the color of the light and automatically adjusts the color of the screen to match the light which is really cool so if you jump into the brightness settings you can turn your tone on and off of course the lighting in this area is very nice and bright white so you can't see a difference but if it were like a yellow room the screen would adjust so wouldn't look so harshly blue which is pretty cool another thing I'm really happy with it has stereo speakers this speaker at the top gets really loud alongside the speaker at the bottom so when you're watching movies you hear it on both sides no there's not a headphone jack life goes on but one thing I didn't mention because it hasn't glass back it supports wireless charging with the Qi standard that's Qi if you see Qi and a work and you could just set it down and Apple is promising that in the future it's going to create an all-new charging standard that'll work with many many devices at the same time intelligently and automatically so here you go this is the iPhone 8 it's going to be available on September 22nd the regular model starts at $6.99 for 64 gigs and the plus is a hundred bucks more for much more from the verge please check out our YouTube it's youtube.com slash merge you
