Teardown reveals just how similar the iPhone 8 is to the iPhone 7
The iPhone 8 is finally here -- and by here, we mean you can go and buy it in a store.
But is this the iPhone you've been waiting for? Or will you wait until Nov. 3 for the far more daring, big-screened, bezel-free iPhone X? It's a tough decision; but a new iFixit teardown of the iPhone 8 (its bigger sibling, the iPhone 8 Plus, will come later) might help you make up your mind.
SEE ALSO:How the iPhone has evolved over the last decadeThis doesn't come as huge surprise, but on the inside, the iPhone 8 is eerily similar to the iPhone 7. Yes, there's that new A11 Bionic chip, more memory, a slightly improved camera, a wireless charging coil, and a glass back. But don't be fooled by the fact that Apple skipped the 7S version number and went straight for the "8": The iPhone 8 is just a finely tuned and slightly upgraded iPhone 7.
Not all news is good, either. The iPhone 8's battery has a little less juice than the battery inside its predecessor -- 6.96 watt-hours vs. 7.45 watt-hours, although according to Apple this should not result in worse battery life. And, on the whole, the iPhone 8 is a little bit harder to repair, though removing the display and the battery is doable, if not exactly easy.
