Apple Launches IPhone 8 Today

With major excitement, we celebrate the long awaited launch of the new iPhone 8, which debuts today, September 12. The ‘iPhone X’, as it is now being called by sources, marks a 10th anniversary since the device first launched in January 2007 when Steve Jobs unveiled the touchscreen device. It is said to be the first of its kind with mind blowing new features, one being wireless charging technology.

According to leaked sources, the names will be iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. It’s very likely that the new iPhone will sell like hot-cakes as soon as it’s available, so even if there aren’t stock issues, we recommend snapping one up early if you plan to buy one.


If you are a big fan of the Apple brand, here is what to expect from the new iPhone 8. Firstly, there would be an updated software, the IOS11. There will also be minor upgrades in comparison to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus series.
