When you start up your new iPhone you can use Quick Start to copy over your more important settings. It is an automatic way of doing what you can achieve manually such as selecting your Wi-Fi network, iCloud account and so on. Although your iPhone 8 is old, the minimum requirement for Quick Start is iOS 11


Then the next step is to "Restore" the data in your old iPhone's iCloud backup. if you haven't created a backup do this now. Then your apps will populate from the App Store.


There is a list of instruction on how to do this in Set up your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


As the document explains, you can restore your data from another device, but I prefer to use the iCloud backup. It's never failed me.
