The post also reveals that the iPhone 8 has 2GB RAM while the iPhone 8 Plus has 3GB RAM, similar to the previous generation. Apple highly depends on its hardware-software optimisation to extract the most power from the batteries.
To recall, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus come with a faster A11 Bionic chip with a full glass body and support wireless charging while incorporating augmented reality support in the camera module.
Although the design of the new iPhones is similar to the design seen on iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but the new devices are 30 per cent faster and offer 25 per cent louder sound than iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
