So on Tuesday Apple announced that iPhone 8 has a new HD Retina display, but correct me if i am wrong didn’t the HD Retina display come with iPhone 7?

It’ll support True-Tone just like on the new iPad Pro.
So that’s what apples reference to “ new hd Retina “ display was when they announced the iPhone 8 then?
I think so, but don’t quote me on it.
Yeah that’s interesting even carriers are saying new hd! Retina
On the Apple website it stated True Tone, Wide Color Gamut, and 3D Touch.
Yeah but the only thing new about the display is true tone? Wide color gamut was on the iPhone 7?
Wow thank you for sharing that I am happy to see the advanced lte and 6 core processor ? That mean speed difference will be obvious on the 8
yes due to the A11 it is appearing to be much faster so far in limited benchmarks. See this article:
With iPhone 8, Apple's Silicon Gap widens as the new A11 Bionic obliterates top chips from Qualcomm, Samsung & Huawei
I've just been comparing specs on the Apple website and retina HD is on iPhone 7 too. The iPhone 8 has the same pixel density, same contrast ratio and both support the wide colour display (P3). The only real addition to the 8 seems to be the addition of True Tone.
The iPhone X has what they are calling the super Retina HD display which does has a higher pixel density which I suppose is nice but it's not like the standard display is blocky
That is correct.
The X has a higher pixel density, and the display is an OLED display with True Tone too.
So only thing new with the 8 that Apple and carriers are advertising is true tone display, nothing else
Yep!
