Impressive CPU performance

The device comes in two internal storage variants with the same amount of RAM - 64GB + 2GB and 128GB + 2GB.

Good battery life and wireless charging

The phone is equipped with a 1,821mAh battery that can last a day on a single charge with moderate usage. With its glass back, the phone is now capable of wireless charging and supports Qi-standard which brings a safe charging experience.

Besides the features above, the iPhone 8 comes with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor underneath its display and uses a nano-SIM card. Overall, this device is worth switching to if you want to upgrade from your iPhone 5, 6, or 7, as it offers some minor improvements including its glass back design and a faster A11 Bionic CPU.
