Today’s the day that the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are in stores across the world. The iPhone 8 isn’t the exciting new Apple product this fall — that honor is reserved for the forthcoming iPhone X — but it is the new, mainstream iPhone that m illions of people will be buying this year and next. You already know what the iPhone 8 looks like — it’s just like the last three generations of iPhones, but with a glass back.
