At Apple’s big event today at the Steve Jobs Theater, Apple has unveiled two new iPhones, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus.
“No other devices in our lifetime have had the impact on the world that the iPhone has,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said today.
The iPhone 8 starts at $699 for a 64GB model and the iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799 for a 64GB model. Pre-orders start September 15 and will be available on Sept. 22.
Apple’s iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus feature a retina HD display, a 4.7-inch, and 5.5-inch, respectively, and are equipped with glass in the front and the back. Perhaps, most excitingly, the glass backs enable wireless charging via the Qi open wireless charging standard.
