About the iPhone 8 Plus
The iPhone 8 Plus is an excellent choice for those who want a larger screen and more powerful camera system in their free government phone. With its 5.5-inch Retina HD display, everything from reading text messages to browsing the web is easier and more comfortable — a particularly valuable feature for seniors and those with vision needs.
The dual 12MP camera system with Portrait mode lets you take professional-looking photos with beautiful depth-of-field effects. The A11 Bionic chip delivers fast, responsive performance for everyday tasks and apps. And with wireless charging capability, simply drop the phone on a compatible charging pad — no fumbling with cables.
Running up to iOS 16, the iPhone 8 Plus still receives important security updates and supports the vast majority of popular apps. Through Lifeline and ACP programs, you can get this capable device completely free along with monthly wireless service.
