The haptics on my home button have become intermittent and the function of the button itself has also become intermittent. When I try to select a different haptic response the phone often restarts spontaneously if I select '2'. The phone has suffered no physical damage. And before anyone suggests I go to the Apple store or Genius Bar, there are no Apple stores in New Zealand.
iPhone 8, iOS 11.2.1, null
Lots of things started going wrong - there are no haptics, there is no sound, there is a huge lag before phone calls are answered or my voice can be heard, and until the camera functions when it is selected. I have tried restoring to factory settings and it still doesn't work. I have found other people on the internet having the same problem following IOS11.2 This is not a great time of year to have my phone collapse on me!
Did you find a solution? I'm having the exact same issue in iOS 11.2.2
i am having this exact issue. Do i just have to wait it out? ridiculous. i have restored a few times but still no go.
Mine came back for a bit, then died again, too. Quite interesting that software can permanently break a phone.
How do we get more attention from Apple on this? I'm doing a backup now and will try the recommended steps, but doesn't sound like it is going to help from your experience.
I have no idea; it is a bigger systemic problem that the refuse to admit ANY problem is of their making. Social media? Though I tried that too!
im heading into the store this week. lets see what happens
Did you get any joy from visiting the Apple Store about this problem? I'm thinking of going in this week myself.
In the end I had to mail my phone to the original store in the US and they gave me my money back.
I'm heading into the Genius bar this evening (here in Australia). I hope they can sort it out.
Did anyone reach a solution to this issue other than actually throwing off the phone or replacing it?
updates please?
Found that if u plug in your headphones many of the problems go away. Most notably playing videos and voicemails.
I have an iPhone 8+ on 11.3, and I just ran into this problem. None of the fixes recommended appear to be working. It is definitely intermittent and very detrimental to using the phone.
I got the exact same problem in Hong Kong. I am using iPhone 8 with iOS 11.3.1. Quite frustrated of getting this problem, I paid for the phone but apple didn’t treat me as a customer seriously..
Any update?
