The 4K at 30fps clips are captured at 24Mbps - half the H.264 ones. The 1080p 30 and 60fps bitrate are also halved at 8.5 and 12.5 Mbps respectively. The front-facing camera is the same 7MP unit we saw on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. It can use the so-called Retina flash, where your screen lights your face up in particular color to provide more pleasing skin tones depending on the color of the available light.

One of the most important and prominent upgrades is the much better color reproduction - the dull washed out colors we criticized the iPhone 7 series for are gone. The iPhone 8 camera captures true to life colors, lively and renders them nicely even in demanding weather conditions. As Apple announced the iPhone 8, big expectations were in the wind. The brand had skipped the 7S iteration altogether. The release of all new iPads, MacBooks and iPhones is a major event, and surely this product would not disappoint. Upon unveiling, however, one fact became clear. The new phone looks identical to the iPhone 7. The screen still measures 4.7 inches, and the top and bottom bezels with home button appear identical. The upgrades are mainly internal, but there are many. iPhone 8 vs. iPhone 7: Build Apple takes a complete product life cycle approach to determining our environmental impact. Learn more aboutiPhone and the EnvironmentEven though Apple upgraded the camera with a new sensor, the specs are the same. It's still 12MP in resolution with a f/1.8 lens. The daylight photos snapped with the iPhone 8 has improved since the iPhone 7 though. So, the 1080p videos captured by the iPhone 8 are one of the best, as usual, with lots of detail, smooth frame rate, and amazing dynamic range. The foliage looks somewhat better here. The quad-LED dual-tone flash from the iPhone 7 is also available on the 8, but the new flagship supports slow-sync flash. It keeps the shutter open for a bit longer, letting in some of the ambient light and making the image look more natural and not as contrasty as with regular flash images. And mind you, the improved compression by these file formats doesn't come at the expense of quality. After careful pixel peeping, we saw no difference in quality between HEIF and JPEG, and if there was a marginal difference between H.264 and H.265, it was in H.265's favor. On the other hand, quality with videos varies depending on how busy the scene is so the jury is still out on whether they are universally better than the H.264 ones. Furthermore, only the high-efficiency mode allows you to use the new 4K at 60fps and 1080p at 240fps video recording modes. Still image quality Apple also advertises the new phones to have "deeper pixels" which is another name for the camera sensor using deep trench isolation tech. Deep trench isolation is not a new technology and was first introduced on the iPhone 6s generation - also available on quite a few Sony Xperia (DTI) and Samsung Galaxy (ISOCELL) smartphone cameras. It's a technology for better pixel isolation on the sensor itself, which prevents light leakage between the neighboring pixels and thus improves the overall photo quality.

As promised, it lets in some of the ambient light and makes the image look more natural. Or to simplify it - you don't look like a zombie anymore. But using it requires holding the camera extra still. The upgrades list continues with a brand-new image processor and noise reduction algorithm, and with the help of the A11 chip, the iPhone 8 is now capable of real-time image and motion analysis - body and face detection. The video capturing also benefits from the new powers - there are 4K at 60fps and 1080p at 240fps modes.Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 11GB to 14GB of space (including iOS and preinstalled apps) depending on the model and settings. Preinstalled apps use about 4GB, and you can delete these apps and restore them. Storage capacity subject to change based on software version and may vary by device. Battery life claim refers to larger models. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/uk/batteries and apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information. The 4K videos captured at 30fps are virtually identical albeit the bitrate difference. The quality is very close to the still images - plenty of detail, no soft corners, but just average foliage presentation. The colors are great, and so is the contrast and white balance. There are no focus issues or compression artifacts. And once again - the dynamic range is nothing short of impressive.
