Apple iPhone 8 64GB Gold Unlocked Smartphone iOS A11 4G LTE | Warranty

Apple iPhone 8 64GB Gold — A11 Bionic in a Compact 4.7-inch Frame

The iPhone 8 in Gold pairs Apple's A11 Bionic chip — the first hexa-core SoC in an iPhone — with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, 12MP camera with optical image stabilisation, and Touch ID. Wireless Qi charging, IP67 water resistance, and a glass back round out a compact phone that still handles modern app workloads. Every unit is professionally refurbished by Reboot IT (Melbourne, est. 2001) and backed by a full 12-month warranty.

Key Benefits

• Apple A11 Bionic Chip: Six-core CPU (2x Monsoon performance + 4x Mistral efficiency) and Apple-designed three-core GPU — fluid app launches and smooth multitasking in a compact device.
• 4.7-inch Retina HD Display: 1334x750 IPS LCD at 326 ppi with True Tone and P3 wide colour for accurate, comfortable viewing in any lighting.
• 12MP Camera with OIS: Optical image stabilisation, quad-LED True Tone flash, and 4K video at 60fps. Portrait mode (front + rear) for depth-controlled shots.
• Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor: Fast, reliable home-button fingerprint authentication for device unlock and Apple Pay contactless payments.
• Qi Wireless Charging: First iPhone to support Qi wireless charging — drop on any compatible pad and skip the Lightning cable when convenient.
• IP67 Water Resistance: Protected against dust and water immersion to 1 metre for 30 minutes — confident everyday durability.

Performance in Use

The A11 Bionic punches above its age. Email, web browsing, social apps, and video calls run instantly; even moderate gaming and photo editing are well within reach. The Neural Engine (introduced with A11) accelerates Face detection in the camera and on-device machine learning in modern apps — features many older Android phones in this price range still cannot match.

The 12MP rear camera with OIS produces sharp daylight photos and respectable low-light shots. Portrait mode applies depth effects, and 4K/60fps video records smooth, detailed footage. The TrueTone display adapts colour temperature to your lighting conditions, reducing eye strain during extended reading or screen time.

For users wanting a compact iPhone that still feels modern, the iPhone 8 is the smallest Apple frame to support wireless charging and modern apps. At 138.4mm tall and 148g, it fits easily in any pocket and is comfortable to use one-handed — increasingly rare in today's larger smartphone designs.
