PhoneArena are you going to talk about how Apple has cut iPhone 8 manufacturing by 50% right now? I guess 4 iterations of close to the same old thing doesn't help.

You got your news. Why are you waiting for PhoneArena to do it for you? You should be happy by now.

Maybe because im waiting for iphone X as replacement for my 7+. As an iphone fan, i wanted the greatest iphone every year. I don’t care about the price cause i have a stable job and i’ll be selling my 7+ too.

Some of those are iOS 11 features not iPhone 8 specific.

That's by assuming those features will make it into older iPhones.

A couple of those aren’t new - I was able to remove notification badges since forever. And you can always type to do what Siri does just by swiping down on the app screen.
