iPhone 8

The Apple iPhone 8 is the outline of the iPhone 7. There is a 4.7-inch (11.9 cm) screen in IPS HD (1,334 x 750 px), plugged into an outline that has for only evolution the appearance of a glass back to the put of metal. As every year, Apple evolves the bowels of child cell phone and antiquated to a chip A11 Bionic, in addition to powerful and pruned for the nascent uses that are augmented reality and artificial intelligence. RAM is always limited to 2 GB of RAM, while the choice is left between 64 and 256 GB for storage - a choice always imperative, the microSD still does not make child input. On the photograph side, Apple proceeds to rely on a 12 Mpx sensor on the back, topped by a stabilized optics opening at f / 1.8. The twofold module remains this year reserved for the variant Plus. The selfies are left to the care of a sensor of 7 Mpx. It is obviously iOS 11 which is to the joysticks side software and a battery of 1821 mAh feeds the whole. At the registry of connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 and 4G LTE are present; the NFC also, but it remains locked in the use of Apple Pay.

The outline of the iPhone 8 has not changed much.

To afford an iPhone 8, it costs 809 € for the adaptation 64 GB and 979 € for the form 256 GB.

ERGONOMICS AND DESIGN 4/5

The iPhone 8 is the 4th generation of Apple cell phones to take back the same outline: an uncommon immobility in an extremely dynamic market. The novelty has been reserved for the iPhone X, which introduces for its part an outline with an uninhabitable screen a substantial part of the confront before. The iPhone 8 is still child side one of the least optimized cell phones on this point, with an occupancy rate of less than 66%. At a time when manufacturers are showing up with 80% more, this is a stain.

The back of the iPhone 8 is now made of glass.

However, the broad borders of the iPhone 8 are much less handicappable than those of the 8 Plus. The small arrangement of the iPhone remains perfectly usable of a single principle and does not clutter the pocket of child owner. If the general lines of the terminal remain the same, there is still a small change. The shell of the iPhone 8 is in addition to a single piece of metal. The back of the camera is now dressed in glass, a choice related to the introduction of standard charge acceptance. From an aesthetic point of view, it will be advisable for everyone to make their own idea, but in terms of taking in principle, glass is much less slippery than metal. Good news for the clumsy.

No 3.5 mm jack.

The fingerprint reader on the iPhone 8 is always integrated with the button on the front. It runs smoothly and remains one of the most competitive on the market. For those who would not have experienced this new button on the iPhone 7, it is worth noting that this is not just a constitution button that sinks into the terminal but a touch sensitive button to the Taptic Engine.

Always a single photograph module on the back.

The iPhone 8 has the advantage of being IP67 certified, that is critical it is dust and water-tight (up to 1 m deep for 30 min). On the other hand, there is still no fight headphone jack 3.5 mm. A standard wireless headset or adapter is required.

SCREEN 4/5

The iPhone 8 does not taste the joys of an Oled screen and must resume once satisfied with an IPS panel. With a contrast ratio of 1,617: 1, it is in the top of the basket for LCD technology, but well below the semi-infinite contrast of the slabs Samsung Amoled spells. With a maximum brightness of 590 compact disc / m² and a reflection rate of 8%, the iPhone 8 has no difficulty to remain perfectly readable in full sun. The 1334 x 750 px definition of the display allows it to be sufficiently blade for most uses.

MATCHING

Delta E = 2.7

Side colorimetry, the iPhone 8 blames a small drop standard affinity to predecessor child. Consideration however, it is far from slipping on the wrong side of the fence and remains very good in the field. We measured a Delta E at 2.7, against 1.4 on the iPhone 7. Not enough to make a scandal, an untrained eye will absolutely not make a difference. The color temperature at 6,900 K is fairly close to the standard (6,500 K). Just like child fabulous brother, the iPhone 8 is entitled to True Tone technology, which adapts the temperature to the bright environment.

Question reactivity, the iPhone 8 appears as an almost perfect clone of child predecessor. We found a hinder material at 42 ms, one of the best on the market, and a remanence at 16 ms, satisfactory for an LCD screen.
