​The new A11 Bionic chip

The new chip at the core of the iPhone is the A11 Bionic. It’s a six-core, 64-bit CPU with 4.3 billion transistors, along with the other features shown in this image.

​iPhone 8 camera

The iPhone 8 camera is an improvement over the iPhone 7-series one.

​iPhone 8 Plus camera

The f1.8 and 2.8 apertures are, Apple said, better than the iPhone 7-series ones and will provide much better photo quality than before.

​New photo lighting features

Portrait mode is getting some improvements in the form of lighting effects. The dual cameras on the iPhone 8 Plus will be able to sense the environment, create a depth map, separate the subject from the background, create facial landmarks using machine learning, and adjust lighting to simulate different photo environments.

​Wireless charging that isn't proprietary

Luckily, Apple decided to ditch the proprietary standards they’re known for to go with the Qi open wireless charging standard. That means your iPhone 8 will charge wirelessly on lots of different third-party devices.

​The front-facing camera is all new

The tiny little bump in the top of the screen contains a lot of new technology that enables Face ID.

Called the True Depth camera, the front-facing assembly takes an infrared image of your face and matches it with a dot projection map to create a mathematical model of your appearance, much like older iPhones do with your fingerprint.

It also enables the use of portrait mode and its new lighting effects with the front-facing camera.

​iPhone X rear camera

The dual camera on the back of the iPhone X is new too, and it even offers physical image stabilization.

AirPower: Apple's wireless charging mat

You won’t need to charge your iPhone or Apple Watch on Apple’s new AirPower pad, but you can charge several Apple devices on it at once.

It will be available next year, and Apple didn’t indicate a price.

​The full iPhone pricing lineup

The iPhone X will join its predecessors in this lineup, but it dwarfs them in price: It will set you back $999.
