IPhone 8 Plus full blown went the opposite of smartphone.
I'm going to keep this as structured and detailed as I can so it can be handled professionally while trying to keep my composure to how bogus this whole situation since I'm on lockdown without a job for a new phone or repairs nor do I have any apple stores to go to since I live in The Bahamas .
Just in case I'll summarize ( Random Boot Loop multiple times -> updated IOS 13.6 -> Volume button or volume slider doesn't adjust sound-> No Sound at all on device -> Can't make or receive calls unless airpods are in-> Home button works but has no feeling of vibration/clicking -> If I try to voicenote it legit just stops the whole process. Probably will go into another boot loop if I allow it to power off again ....
Last night around the time of 10 pm my phone was on a video call and I went into the kitchen only to come back and see it's in what the community calls a boot loop. I was able to get my phone out of the boot loop 3 times which took me having to update to IOS 13.6. I woke up and the update was completed and the phone was out of the boot loop. Now here's the other bogus thing what transpired, the phone is completely useless. The volume buttons don't adjust anything unless my airpods are in. Even when I pull up the screen I can slide to adjust brightness but when I try to slide to adjust sound it legit just moves the screen up as if I were swiping up. I cannot make or receive calls. It'll literally say call failed as I try to answer a call. It can only make a call unless my airpods are in. When I take the airpods out during call it doesn't even give me an option to go into speaker mode. My home button doesn't click. It can read the fingerprint very well and carry me to home screen but it doesn't click or vibrate as you say. It's feels as if the phone is completely powered down. There you have it in the matter of hours my phone just turned into an unsmartphone
