Product identity

The Apple iPhone 8 Plus A1897 is a 256GB Space Gray smartphone locked to the AT&T prepaid network. It suits users who want a familiar iOS 15.4 experience with a large display and dual-camera system on a single carrier plan. Buyers needing an unlocked device or a different network cannot use this model.

Thermals and power

The A11 Bionic chip runs at 2.4 GHz inside a sealed glass-and-aluminium body that dissipates heat passively during normal use. No fan noise is present and the included UL-approved power adapter supplies the required charging current. Wireless charging is also supported for cable-free top-ups.

Build and daily use

The front and back feature durable glass with an aerospace-grade aluminium band, while the 5.5-inch Retina HD display includes True Tone. A sapphire crystal lens cover protects the 12MP dual camera with OIS. The Lightning port handles wired charging and data; no headphone jack, SIM card or original packaging are supplied.

The lithium-ion battery degrades with charge cycles; plan on a battery service once capacity drops noticeably.
