Unlocked iPhone 8 Plus 256GB

This Apple iPhone 8 Plus ships new and fully unlocked for use on any compatible LTE network. It offers 256GB of internal storage and 3GB of RAM driven by the Apple A11 Bionic hexa-core processor. The 5.5-inch Retina IPS LCD displays 1080 x 1920 resolution behind ion-strengthened glass. It launches with iOS 11 and supports updates to iOS 16.4.1.

Dual 12MP camera upgrade

The rear camera pairs a 12MP wide lens at f/1.8 and 28mm with a 12MP telephoto lens at f/2.8 and 57mm for optical zoom. This dual-camera array replaces single-lens designs on earlier models and adds Portrait mode with depth control. The jump is worthwhile for users who want lossless 2x optical zoom and improved low-light capture without moving to a larger handset. The 7MP front camera handles FaceTime HD and selfies.

Check carrier bands and Lightning accessories

Verify that your carrier’s LTE bands align with the A1897 model before activation. The handset uses a Lightning connector for charging and wired audio, so existing USB-C cables will not fit without an adapter. Bluetooth 5.0 pairs with current headphones and wearables, while Wi-Fi 802.11ac connects to modern routers. The 2691mAh lithium-ion battery is not user-replaceable.

Questions about this item

Does the 5.5-inch Retina IPS LCD display need a specific screen protector or case cutout?

The 5.5-inch Retina IPS LCD with ion-strengthened glass uses standard iPhone 8 Plus dimensions, so any screen protector or case made for this model will fit the display and camera cutouts correctly.

What is the correct way to insert the nano-SIM card so the LTE connection activates on any carrier?

Use the SIM eject tool to open the right-side tray, place the nano-SIM with the angled corner matching the tray shape and gold contacts facing down, then push the tray fully flush until it clicks.

When should the 2691mAh lithium-ion battery be replaced to keep the phone running a full day on iOS 16.4.1?

Replace the battery when Settings shows maximum capacity below 80 percent or when the device shuts down unexpectedly under load, as the sealed 2691mAh cell is not user-replaceable.
