FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Apple iPhone 8 Plus

Everything you need to know about running real iPhone 8 Plus tests in the TestingBot cloud.

When was the Apple iPhone 8 Plus released and is it still worth testing on in 2026?

Apple released the Apple iPhone 8 Plus in 2017, roughly 9 years ago. It mostly covers legacy regression: verify that your minimum supported iOS still launches and that basic flows work. Good for accessibility and low-end performance budgets.

Which iOS versions can I test on Apple iPhone 8 Plus?

On TestingBot you can run iPhone 8 Plus sessions across iOS 11 through iOS 16. Pin a specific iOS version in your Appium capabilities or pick one when starting a manual session.

Can I use live, manual testing on Apple iPhone 8 Plus too?

Yes. Live testing hands you an interactive iPhone 8 Plus in your browser. Tap, type, scroll, take screenshots and capture bug reports without writing code.

Is the Apple iPhone 8 Plus on TestingBot a real device or a simulator?

It is a real, physical iPhone 8 Plus. TestingBot hosts unmodified, retail-spec Apple iPhone 8 Plus units in an EU datacenter. You're remote-controlling actual hardware: real Mobile Safari, real touch input, real iOS, real GPU and CPU behavior. No emulator, no jailbreak.

Can I test push notifications and biometrics on Apple iPhone 8 Plus?

Yes. Real devices support APNs delivery, Touch ID / Face ID simulation for entitled apps, deep links and universal links, all of which iOS simulators either fake or skip entirely.

Can I run XCUITest on Apple iPhone 8 Plus without a Mac?

Yes. Upload a compiled .ipa and TestingBot runs XCUITest on a real iPhone 8 Plus from any CI runner. No local Xcode, no provisioning juggling on your end.

Can I run my Selenium suite against Apple iPhone 8 Plus?

Yes. Selenium sessions on real Mobile Safari work the same way as desktop: same script, same locators, real iOS rendering. Useful for sharing browser tests across desktop and mobile suites.

How fast does a Apple iPhone 8 Plus session start?

A fresh iPhone 8 Plus session is usually available within seconds. We allocate from a warm pool, so your test job doesn't wait on a cold boot.
