New 'hot start' method on iPhone 8 when the device hangs

Normally, to force restart iPhone, users only need to hold down the power button and the Home button for a few seconds to restart the device. This is a great strategy when your iPhone crashes. However, with iPhone 8, you must use a new way to reboot your device because the old method no longer works.

To boot hot iPhone 8, follow the steps below:

• Press and release the volume up button on the left side of the phone.
• Then, press and release the volume down button directly below.
• Finally, press and hold the power button until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen and the device will restart.

• IPhone 8 "unlocking" and 5 things you need to know
• How close is the iPhone 8 to charge faster than the iPhone 7?

If you try the above but still don't solve the problem, you should boot into recovery mode:

• Connect your iPhone to a Mac or PC that has iTunes installed with a USB cable.
• Follow the steps above but keep the power button even if you have seen the Apple logo appear.
• You will see the Connect to iTunes screen appear after a few seconds. Exit the power button and launch iTunes.
• iTunes will tell you the problem with the iPhone. You can choose Update or Restore to fix the problem.

Good luck!
