Apple isn't known for being first. The iPhone-maker is known for its patience in launching new technologies that have already been tested by its competition. This is what makes Apple products standout from the rest. Your iPhone may not be first to ship a new cutting edge technology, but it will feature the best version of of that technology when Apple decides to adapt it into its hardware or software.
Like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus do not ship with the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. iPhone 8 owners can connect wireless headphones or Apple's AirPods using Bluetooth 5.0, or use Lightning connector supported accessories.
No, only the iPhone X ships with Face ID. Unlike the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus still include a physical Home button and Touch ID. Face ID allows iPhone X users to unlock their device since it does not ship with Touch ID or a physical Home button.
