The manufacturer does not publish these values. TechInsights independently confirms iPhone 8 Plus main 1.22 and tele 1.0 micrometer pitch, but its physical unit is A1897 and is corroboration only. Its camera die sizes are not converted into optical-format notation. Tele optical format and focal length conflict with other publishers and remain absent.21Maker product pagedeveloper.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/Cameras/Cameras.htmlRead 7 October 2026Archived maker iOS 11 camera specification updated October 30, 2017. Table 4-4 is the shared wide camera. Table 4-7 is specifically iPhone 8 Plus telephoto, while Table 4-8 belongs to iPhone X and is not used. Table 4-3 defines AF P as phase detection. The dual-camera paragraph supports wide OIS and no telephoto OIS for this exact iPhone 8 Plus. Existing apertures, resolutions and zoom remain. Binned contrast-focus modes do not negate physical PDAF support.23Reviewimore.com/iphone-8-plus-and-x-camera-guideRead 7 October 202635 mm-equivalent main lens focal length, not the physical 3.99 mm lens length. Multiple original photography reviews corroborate 28 mm equivalent. Its rounded 56 mm tele claim conflicts with other 57 mm publications, so tele focal length remains omitted.
