The iPhone 8 Plus pairs the A11 Bionic with a 5.5-inch 1080p Retina HD display, dual 12MP cameras with a 2x telephoto and Portrait Lighting, and a glass back that added Qi wireless charging. Touch ID and IP67 water resistance round out a phone that still feels solid in the hand. In 2026 it's a used-market buy only: the bezels are huge, battery life is average, it uses Lightning, and software updates have ended.
