iPhone 8: UK release date, price and best features of Apple's new device







Apple has launched two new smartphones, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, at a major event in California, which also saw the release of the premium iPhone X handset.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are upgrades to Apple's current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus range, updating some of the main features found on Apple's current products.
Initially, most pundits thought the iPhone 8 would be Apple's main new phone - however it instead released three smartphones as part of the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone.

"Our intention has always to create something so magical, powerful, that the hardware virtually disappears," said Tim Cook at the launch.
He added it was a "new step forward for iPhone" that will "set the path for technology for the next decade". 
Introducing the iPhone 8, Apple executive Phil Schiller said the device "improves on everything we love about the iPhone". 
Here are all the details, specs and, importantly, prices that you need to know.

Design and appearance

The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are similar in appearance to the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
The smaller version has a 4.7-inch screen, while the larger phone has a 5.5-inch screen and a dual camera lens on the back.
The processor is the A11 Bionic, "the most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone," Apple says.

There will be glass on the front and the back of the device, "reinforced by a laser welded steel and copper". It will be water and dust resistant sealed.
"The new iPhone will have the most durable glass ever in a smartphone," says Schiller. 
Both models will have a HD retina display and feature a 12MP camera. 

What colours will it come in?

The iPhone 8 will be available in silver, space grey and a new blush gold colour.

Wireless charging

Like the iPhone X, the two new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus phones will come with wireless charging capabilities.
This means the phone can be charged by simply placing it on a power pad. It is the first time the technology has come to the iPhone range.
"This is a simple thing. We do it everyday. We use them every day and charge every night," said Schiller. 
"Words can't describe how much nicer it is to never plug in a cable again."

iOS 11

The new iPhones will come with Apple's new operating system iOS 11. iOS 11 includes hundreds of new features like a redesigned control centre, better multitasking, improvements to the camera, peer-to-peer Apple Pay and new safety features.

Dual camera

The iPhone 8 Plus will have a 12MP dual-lens camera, similar to the one featured on the iPhone 7 Plus released last year.
It features a larger and faster sensor, a new colour filter and deeper pixels.

Video

Apple claims the new camera delivers “the highest quality video capture ever in a smartphone” with better video stabilisation and 4K video up to 60fps.

Home button

While the demise of the home button and Touch ID on the iPhone X has been in the news, the iPhone 8 will maintain the button and Touch ID. It won't, however, have facial recognition.

How to fix the iPad/iPhone Game Center or In-App Purchase Sandbox problem (This is not a Test User account error)

If you jailbreak your iPad or iPhone (like the latest iOS5.1.1), when you do in-app purchases (like subscribe or restore the purchase of the National Geographic Kids), you may get an annoying error message:


This is not a Test User account.
Please create a new account in the Sandbox environment. [Environment: Sandbox]

Then the purchase will fail.
Game Center also has Sandbox problem. Once you log in using your Game Center account, you will see a red "Sandbox" label on top of the Me icon in Game Center. Once this red "Sanbox" label appears, all your Game Center friends are gone. For example, you can no longer visit your friends in the popular Dragonvale game.

After searching the Internet and tried many different ways to fix, finally I found a way which completely fix the problem. Following is the the detail steps:

1. After the jailbreak, a app called Cyndia should already installed on your iPad or iPhone.


2. Open Cyndia, select "Sources" tab, click on Edit button at top-right corner and then click the Add button at top-left corner. Add the following resource:
http://sinfuliphonerepo.com/


3. Select "Search" tab, and search "AppSync". Select the corresponding version and install. For example, if you iPad is iOS5.1.1, choose AppSync for iOS5.x+.
After install is done, you can select Restart Springboard.



4. Search "Installous" and select Installous 5 and install. After install is done, you can select Restart Springboard.

5. Restart your iPad or iPhone.

6. Try the games and application which have the Sandbox problem. The annoying Sanbox problem should been fixed.
If the problem still there, you can uninstall and re-install these games or applications and the problem should be solved.

Enjoy your Sandbox free iPad or iPhone!

As a bonus, the Installous app you installed at step 4 has lots of free apps and games.
