Most of the issues highlighted in the OP is mostly to do with the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 models disn’t suffer from those initial issues

I wouldn’t trade my 8+ for anything. Currently on 11.2.5 beta and experiencing no issues.

All these issues have been mentioned here on Mac Rumours specifically for 8 plus. The X suffered from many of them too.

Well im on this forum daily on those issues were a lot more common in the iPhone x than the iPhone 8 models. Owned my iPhone 8 plus since day one and haven't experienced a single one of the issues described

There's a big difference between a few complaints and a wide spread issue. The unresponsive screen in the cold was a widespread iPhone x issue, not the 8

My daughter had the yellow tint issue a quick trip to the Apple store in the uk and it was swapped for a new one. No hassle they just swapped it took 20 mins in and out

Hey would you be kind enough to check the iphone 8 plus model you returned?Which model no. was it for e.g. A 1897, 1863 etc. Want to see if there is a faulty batch on a particular series.

Thanks guys for the opinions. Could somebody with 8 or 8 plus verify if they had one of the issues mentioned and which later got corrected by ios updates. At least we could cross something off our growing list.

I have had the 8 plus for almost 2 months and have two times encountered what I would consider a minor buggy situation where the screen didn't behave like it should have. Both times it was corrected with a reboot. I haven't done any software update yet.

So I wouldn't call the phone flawless but it is not a huge concern.

PS the model is A1897.

Right, but that doesn't mean that the other millions of iPhones that are sold are necessarily experiencing the same issues based on a small minority on a tech forum. Primarily what you're reading on here, is those who do have similar issues, but that's not the majority, that's a minority. On the contrary, there are many threads on here about those who have never had a problem with Their iPhone 8 even with launch day models.
