Apple unveiled the new generation of iPhone, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at their much-hyped event earlier this week.

The new iPhone features a new glass and aluminium design in three colours made out of what Apple says is the most durable glass ever in a smartphone, Retina HD displays and A11 Bionic chip, and is designed for a vivid AR experience.

Apple noted that the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be available in space gray, silver and gold finish in increased 64GB and 256GB capacity models starting at Dh2,849 in the UAE.

While pre-orders start tomorrow (Friday, September 15), the devices will be available beginning Saturday, September 23, in the UAE and several other countries, including the US.

UAE is the only GCC country to receive the devices in the first wave of countries, along with the US, while other GCC countries like Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia will receive it in the next wave, starting Friday, September 29, 2017.
