Apple iPhone 8 Audio and Connectivity

Audio and Connectivity

Apple’s decision to omit the 3.5mm headphone jack continues with the iPhone 8, but it compensates with stereo speakers providing a balanced audio output. The device supports a range of wireless connectivity options such as dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC for Apple Pay, and various geolocation services including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and QZSS. Charging and data-transfer rely on Apple's Lightning connector supported by USB 2.0 speeds.
