Yes iPhones definitely have the horse power to do it. Apple just won't write it into the code.

iPhone 8 or Note 8?

But hey, you get animated poop emoji's!
I remember the days everyone laughed at Android for just adding gimmick features. Yet, here's Apple...
No way. My iPhone 7 got slower WIFI speeds compared to my Note 8. Also slower Cellular speeds.
Yeah but the Note 8 still has that crap where it hangs onto your wifi signal too long. I complained about this on the Note 5 and the Note 7. When I leave my house the Note 8 keeps looking for my wifi, so stuff like Waze won't work until I'm a mile or 2 from home.
Hmm, haven't noticed. I'll try to pay attention to that. I have EERO all over my house so my signal stretches pretty far.

Have they tested the Note 8 or V30 yet? Probably not.
The iphone 8 had a new Intel wireless chip I think and the glass will help too.
I recall someone mentioning here that it still had the old wifi chip. But maybe that was wrong.
It’s going to be a lot different from last year. Available stock of the X will be so limited, the AirPods will feel abundant comparatively. I’ll wager that the orders placed within the first minute may get first day delivery but after that, delivery times will move back in a hurry and any orders not placed within that first 15-30 minutes may be pushed back months.

Two chips. Two models of iPhone. Apple will limit the Qualcomm chip, since the Intel can't do gigabit lte.
Apple did the same thing last year, limiting the upload speed of the qualcomm models.
This is being reported as well.
That doesn't prove Apple is using Qualcomm for all their iPhone 8, some maybe Intel.
Apprently only because DXO introduced bokeh categories this year. If you remove that, it falls behind last year’s Pixel.
The Pixel 2 XL is yet to be released and they haven’t tested Note 8 or S8 cameras yet.
Pixel please, biggest overpriced piece of garbage ever made lmo.
If they had the category last year maybe the 7 plus would have fared better.

How do you know what modem is in your iPhone 8? Have you opened it up to see?Who cares i have a Qualcomm X16 LTE modem capable of gigabit LTEsame as Samsung do different for different countries..
I'm sure we'd get Intel over in Europe though.
What will be interesting will be the carriers here in UK and how much stock they will have. Was going with EE and plan to order online as soon as 8am hits but also do the same on apple site. Have to hope I can one of them with a decent time.
I do worry the carriers will get left behind
The carriers will get left behind I think, especially with such limited supply. Last year the 7 plus launch was notoriously bad.
The year of the 6 plus launch it took me until the end of November to get a 6 plus and even then I had to settle for space grey and not gold.
I think the wide availability of the 8/8 plus shows that many are waiting for the iPhone X.
Was planning on ordering with EE but if the watch launch is anything to go by it could be trouble.
Have to hope they get enough in but this is why i'm going to try and order via IUP as well.
I just took a look at the couple of the renders on the iPhone X. Don't you think it's going to end up being a little smaller for us Plus users?
