How to check if your iPhone 8 needs a new logic board

Last week Apple announced a repair program for the iPhone 8 ($162 at Amazon). According to the company, some iPhone 8 phones produced between Sept. 2017 and March 2018 may experience random freezing, unexpected restarts or won’t turn on.

The issue is specific to the iPhone 8 and does not include the iPhone 8 Plus ($212 at Amazon) or any other iPhone.

Apple published a page where users can check to see if their phone is eligible for a free repair.

If your device is eligible for the repair program, Apple will detail your next steps to get the logic board in your phone replaced, free of charge.
