Apple iPhone 8 Plus (Verizon/Sprint/A1864) 64, 128, 256 GB Specs

Please note that this A1864 iPhone 8 Plus model is compatible with FDD-LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, and 66 as well as TD-LTE bands 34, 38, 39, 40, and 41. It is intended for Verizon, Sprint, and other smaller carriers in the US (but not AT&T or T-Mobile) as well as carriers in Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, and India.

Regardless of carrier support, all iPhone 8 Plus models have a 5.5″ (diagonal) widescreen multitouch “True Tone” LED-backlit 1920×1080 native resolution “Retina HD” display (401 ppi, 625 cd/m2) and a taptic-engine powered solid state “clickless” Home button.

The iPhone 8 Plus has three cameras. It has dual rear 12-megapixel 4K cameras (one wide-angle with an f/1.8 aperture and one telephoto with a f/2.8 aperture) that use software to emulate a 2x optical zoom as well as a 10x digital zoom. These rear cameras also provide “portrait mode” and lighting software in addition to optical image stabilization, a 6-element lens, and wide color capture. The front “FaceTime HD” camera is 7 megapixels and supports 1080p video capture. The cameras support motion tracking and offer augmented reality support, too.

The iPhone 8 Plus uses an “aerospace-grade” aluminum alloy case reinforced by steel and has a glass front and back. It is splash, water, and dust-resistant (IP67), but not water-proof, and it has stereo speakers and a Lightning port. It originally was offered in three metallic color options — gold, silver, or a dark “Space Gray”, but from April 9, 2018 to September 12, 2018, Apple also sold a (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition model with a black front and a red back.

Internally, the iPhone 8 Plus is powered by a 64-bit “Apple A11 Bionic” processor with six cores — two performance cores and four high-efficiency cores — and has 3 GB of RAM, as well as 64 GB, 128 GB, or 256 GB of flash storage (128 GB option introduced and 256 GB discontinued on September 10, 2019). It also supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO, Bluetooth 5.0, LTE (4G), and NFC for Apple Pay.

Apple estimates that the iPhone 8 Plus provides “up to” 60 hours of audio playback, 21 hours of talk time, 13 hours of Internet use, and 14 hours of wireless video playback. Because of the device’s glass back, the battery can be charged wirelessly using a charging mat that supports the Qi standard.
