    iPhone 8 ($699) and 8+ ($799)


    The new iPhone has a new gold finish offering and has glass on the front and back. Sounds slippery. The glass has an internal laser-welded steel and copper structure. Sounds fancy, but they promise it'll be more durable. You now get wireless charging on the iPhone without a special case. Fire up those smug comments, Android users.

    Phones are getting new Retina displays: 4.7-inch display in the iPhone 8 and 5.5-inch in the iPhone 8 Plus.

    The new A11 Bionic chip is a six-core chip and all the cores have been upgraded. Phil is talking as fast as possible becuase he knows people hate numbers at things like this, but four of the cores are 25 percent faster and the other two cores are 70 percent faster. Good for launching space ships in real life.


    The camera has a new 12-megapixel sensor with a new color filter that promises less noise and better color reproduction. The iPhone 8 Plus has a similar double-camera with a wide-angle and a telephoto. The video processing has been revamped to break up a scene and optimize things like bitrate across the 4K 60 fps capture. It will also now do 240 fps slow-motion at 1080p HD.
