#iphone 8 chipset

It's been ten years since the original iPhone was released, and now in 2017, Apple has made it to eight. As we do with every new generation of Apple mobile devices, the launch of the iPhone 8 begs the question - What has actually changed thus far, since last year's iPhone 7? Also present is a new performance controller, which allows the chipset to utilize all six cores simultaneously for better multitasking. Video performance also benefits from the chipset with a new video encoder that allows for higher frame rates, and real-time image and motion analysis. The A11 chipset also has an integrated three-core GPU designed by Apple, which is a first. Aside from the newly improved chipset, the iPhone 8 also has Bluetooth 5.0, which effectively doubles the speed and quadruples the range of Bluetooth 4.2, with lower power consumption. The iPhone 8 is also among the first Apple devices to support the Qi wireless charging standard, which in turn will allow the device to be used with wireless charging docks from third-party manufacturers. This will also be good for wireless charging in general, as the popularity of iPhones can potentially cause a surge in adoption of the technology.
