Iphone 8 keeps force restarting with green/black lines and blue screen

Hi all

My iPhone 8 keeps turning off and on intermittently freezing on the apple screen. When I press volume buttons + power button it can get stuck with horizontal green/black lines across the screen and recently the screen went light blue before restarting again.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

iPhone 8, iOS 12

Frozen Iphone SE screen My iphone SE screen keeps freezing and not responsive to touch. A hard restart (per support suggestions) fixes this for a while , then refreezes again. After a couple of days, now red stripes are appearing momentarily during the restart. Suggestions?

How to fix screen freezing when hard restart does not work? Is there a workaround without resetting the whole phone? What’s the problem: My IPhone 12 Pro Max suddenly started to freeze a lot (15 times a day maybe) after upgrading just now from iOS 15 to 16 (could be coincidence). What’s weird: The whole screen hangs except for the cursor still blinking if it happens while typing. Screen is unresponsive even to up and down swipe and all three buttons do not work. What helps: Waiting for the auto lock to kick in, a spinning wheel on black appears for several minutes before the Apple logo and a normal locked screen that can be opened normally without sim pin. Hard restart (vol up, vol down, side button) also works but does not solve the issue. What is going? What can I do about it?

Seems that problem is hardware-related, so Apple Store appointment will be the best option for you.

Does the phone boot to the passcode screen at all? If not, I am having the same problem (since last night)!
