The New iPhone Takes The Best Ever, Stores The Most Ever Photos
Being available to pre-order on Sept. 15, the first batch of iPhone 8 has already arrived at their destinations. With brand-new glass design, iPhone 8/Plus must amaze their masters by gorgeous screen color presenting and 4K video/photo shooting, especially the best ever mobile photography ability. Although iPhone 8 still features 12MP rear/7MP front-facing camera and the same-entitled “Portrait Mode” as its predecessor, it’s quite different this time. First, this new Portrait Mode is rebuilt by altering the lighting effects, capturing more vibrant color and clearer image along with faster sensor, color filter and optical image stabilization. Then, Apple has abandoned JPEG and employed new HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) on iPhone (iOS 11) for saving 50% library storage in the same image quality.
Hardware improvements make the new iPhone a stunning bet to take photos! And higher storage capacity (64/256GB) gives enough space for more high-quality images. But no matter what, transferring iPhone photos regularly to computer is always a must-do for freeing up space and data backup.
