T-Mobile AT&T Verizon Sprint iOS Apple Picks

Well, folks, it's official - Apple finally took the wraps off its latest iPhone models. While the anniversary iPhone X clearly stole the show at the Steve Jobs Theater, it can be argued that Apple's financial well-being for the next year largely depends on the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. 

At a first glance, the 8 and 8 Plus look very much like their 2016 predecessors. However, they sport all-glass back plates, which is a real blast from the past for those of us who remember the iPhone 4 and 4s. This is not some arbitrary decision made by Tim Cook & Co., as these panels allow for a way of charging that hasn't been present in the iPhone universe before. 

Looks aside, both of these new handsets come with a fair portion of upgrades under the hood. So, what are the new features that make the 8 duo stand out? Feel free to check out the slideshow below and find out!
