The iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus are Apple's first smartphones to incorporate laser welding to achieve the most efficient water and dust resistance. As for a total repairability score, the new iPhone got a six out of 10, with marks deducted for the stubborn rear panel and lower components that lie in a bed of tangled cables.

Sales of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus may be affected the third device Apple announced earlier this month.

Unlike the iPhone X's Face ID, the iPhone 8 comes with the circular Home Button and yes, it does feature Apple's Touch ID fingerprint sensor. BGR reported that Apple users who installed the new OS experienced shorter battery life for their device. Also, iPhone X has been the most talked about phone before and after its release.

The regular iPhone and the Plus version are largely similar, except for the display, the overall size and the camera. Rather boring, when that is precisely the promise of Apple was to create a watch capable of operating online, regardless of the iPhone... There is no 128GB variant of the iPhone 8.

All three iPhone support wireless charging technology and augmented reality apps.

Apple Watch Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 have better processors and lasting batteries while the very first Apple Watch that was launched back in 2015 and the latest WatchOS 4 features have outgrown the device.

"We have discovered that when Apple Watch Series 3 joins unauthenticated Wi-Fi networks without connectivity", the firm said.

At the time of writing today, I can go on the Apple website and order virtually any iPhone 8 - even an iPhone 8 Plus in gold - and it will ship within one business day.

"I am thrilled", Cook told CNBC on Friday.

However, reports from around the world, as well as some insight from Apple's pre-orders, suggest that the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus aren't attracting the kind of demand predecessors like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 have.

Last year, Apple sold 211 million iPhones, most of which were its newest iPhone 7. With LTE activated, you'll see a green icon.
