iPhone 8/Plus iPhone 8+ Space Gray Boot Screen Issue?

Same is with me, it’s 8 plus 64 space grey. I just noticed the screen flickers during boot with apple logo then disappears and apple booting twice and after turning on the device it works fine. Please help

When I turn on the phone, the screen seems to flicker quickly.

This happens on the boot up screen. So, the screen is black with the white apple in the middle. The screen jitters a bit and a grayish line quickly jumps across the bottom of the screen while the phone is booting up.

Seems to work fine after boot up.

Anyone else seeing this happen?

I swapped out my phone once from the 64GB version to the 256GB version and both models do this.

Thanks for the responses. Not sure if it matters, but my phone is the Verizon version. Strange that some phones do it and others don't.

Verizon iPhone 8 Plus here and mine does the same thing. Also does another weird thing when booting up, the Apple logo will come on like it should, then it will go away and then come back a second time and then go into the pass code screen.

Odd that the apple logo is coming on twice during the boot up process each time.

ios 11.2 DID NOT FIX IT! im looking at 3 new phones doing it still ,now i get 1 apple logo with this random grey line instead of the apple logo blinking. the lines are still there. you need to turn your phone on an off a few times. coworkers phone also does it still, all space grey phones are doing it still.

Well that’s strange because 11.2 did fixed the issue for me and also made booting the device much faster.

Check EverythingApplePro on YouTube, he is a trusted source for Apple news and he clearly showed in his iOS 11.2 Review video that the issue is now fixed.

Then why not just let it be? Its clearly not just your phone. So its really not an issue with the phone but just a software glitch.

well were just trying to figure out if it was software or hardware, ''let it be'' well i wanted to know since other people here are trying to find out.an it can be a hardware issue with the software,its possible it will never be fixed, an if i seen this before i bought this iphone 8 plus i would of purchased something else.

[doublepost=1513631109][/doublepost]Hello Maam,

Even my iPhone 8 doing the same thing so it’s not a phone issue ?
I tried to inform the same to apple but they didn’t have any correct answer for it.

Many holders of the 8 and 8 Plus iPhone have this problem and only appear on the Apple logo page and disappear quickly.
And it does not negatively impact the menu and function of mobile
It is not clear why this is happening and this is the case since the time of making this mobile up to today, which is about a year
I also have 8 red and I purchased it in April, and from the beginning I had this problem
Even my friends have this problem
