Apple iPhone 8 Plus A1897 64GB Space Gray, B/C Grade mix, Unlocked
Space gray Apple iPhone 8 PLUS 64GB, A1897, unlocked and sold as a B/c Stock mix: every unit tested and working, with scratches and scuffs on the aluminum frame and back glass that range up to heavy wear. Institutions equipping large cohorts take this lot for A11 performance and iOS 16 support at the lowest cost, and repair benches buy it for dual-camera donors.
The iPhone 8 Plus is Apple's September 2017 5.5-inch model and the last big-screen iPhone with a home button: the six-core A11 Bionic with 3 GB of RAM, a 1080p True Tone Retina HD display, dual 12 MP cameras with 2x optical zoom and Portrait Lighting, a 7 MP front camera, a glass back with Qi wireless charging, IP67 water resistance, stereo speakers, and Touch ID. It runs iOS 16, which keeps it current for enterprise device management and carrier features.
TG Wireless sells graded 8 Plus lots to enterprise and institutional fleets that standardized on the model, to prepaid and MVNO dealers, to exporters, and to repair shops.

Network and compatibility
The iPhone 8 Plus is a 4G LTE phone with VoLTE and iOS 16 support, so it clears the US 2G and 3G retirements and current carrier software rules; it has no 5G radio. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The A1897 is a GSM/LTE variant suited to AT&T, T-Mobile, and their prepaid brands; the A1864 adds CDMA and Verizon's LTE bands. Carrier acceptance and VoLTE depend on the exact variant, so confirm with the carrier.
