The iPhone 8 Plus is not waterproof, but it is IP67 water‑resistant. This means it can withstand being in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. Water resistance can reduce over time, and liquid damage from drinks or chemicals is not covered.

Yes - the iPhone 8 Plus supports Qi wireless charging. Just place it on a compatible charging mat with the display facing up. Wireless charging won’t work if the phone is connected to USB, and thick cases may need to be removed for best performance.

The price of a second‑hand iPhone 8 Plus depends on condition, storage (64GB, 128GB or 256GB) and whether it’s unlocked. Pristine models cost more, while “Good” condition offers the best value.

To explore alternatives, check out the refurbished iPhone 8 or iPhone X models.
