iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus are latest version of iPhone available but unfortunately these devices are also facing many major issue. One such issue reported by many users us when iPhone 8 screen becomes unresponsive out of nowhere. When trying to tap an app icon on the home screen the phone was unresponsive. The screen of iPhone 8 became unresponsive. Force touch also does not work. No response to any swipes or presses or taps on the home screen. This is causing major issue as in iPhone 8 won’t be able to do a normal "slide to power off" Shut Down with the power key.
It is happening very frequently for some users like 4 times in 24 hours since purchase. The problem is sometimes easily seen while using 3d touch functionality in the home screen. Or when you try to send a photo -- screen freezes and won't accept command to message (or mail) photo. This happens 30-40% of the time. Below mentioned trouble shooting does not seems to help much.
a) Restoring phone does not work, b) hard reset does not work all the time, and c) getting a new phone does not fix it either.
Many users relate this issue to YouTube app downloaded, after the iPhone 8 plus has YouTune app this is when the touchscreen issues started for them.
As the device are on iOS 11 and the no other iPhone models like iPhone 7 and iPhone X has such frozen screen issue widely spread it could be an Apple hardware issue. You may try to replace your iPhone 8 at Apple store, just take Proof of purchase and identity and they will see you have Apple care and Replace the device as this seems to be hardware issues.
