Apple is also releasing the Apple TV 4K this evening for preorder. The new Apple TV finally brings 4K video support to Apple’s set-top box, as well as other improvements such as HDR and Dolby Vision.

Hastily introduced before the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus feature a new glass back design with support for wireless charging. Both devices are powered by Apple’s A11 Bionic chip and feature camera improvements such as 4K 60 fps video support.

The iPhone 8 starts at $699, while the iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799 – that’s a $50 price hike compared to the iPhone 7 last year, but both devices are still cheaper than the iPhone X.
