Here's what you need to know up front: the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus launch on September 22, and they start at $700. You can pre-order the phone starting this Friday, September 15.
As you might have already guessed, the smaller iPhone 8 is what starts at $700; the iPhone 8 Plus starts at $100 more, for $800. Both models come with 64 GB of storage space, though you can opt for a 256 GB model that'll cost a bit more.
Though visually similar to the iPhone 7, the iPhone 8 features a glass front and back - Apple says the glass back isn't just a visual change, but a means of enabling the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus to add wireless charging functionality. You can place your phone on a charging mat - at least one that uses the Qi wireless charging standard - and it'll automatically start charging without any wires.
