hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is my iPhone 8 I've had it since
the release day and it's been working fine ever since in fact a family member
was using it and it worked fine although all the sudden it started to turn off
randomly and I thought that might be related to an update or whatever so that
person is now using a different iPhone or a newer iPhone than this and this one
no longer will even turn on I actually wanted to turn it on the other day so
that I could use it in one of the update videos that I do and it won't turn on it
actually if I try and boot it up it just won't do anything I've tried to reset it
put it in recovery mode put it in DFU mode charge it it just won't charge or
anything it won't turn on at all now it's not covered under Apple care since
it's over a year old so I'm not sure Apple will cover it but I've never had
an iPhone just randomly die without it being dropped in water if you saw that
video or being dropped this iPhones in quite good condition it's had a case on
it its entire life and also a screen protector and there's no cracks dents
anything it's in great shape so I'm gonna go to the Apple store see if they
can fix it that probably won't be free since it's not under Apple care but
we'll see what they have to say and let's find out the phone came back to
life after it was sitting on a wireless charging pad so I'm still gonna have
Apple check it out but on my way there I had it wirelessly charging and it seems
to be working now as you can see here it doesn't have any battery health issues
so it's kind of strange but I'm still gonna have Apple take a look at it
while I was at the Apple store at the phone actually rebooted and I got this
weird white box around the Apple when it restarted now since driving to the Apple
store I went into the store and they told me there's not really much they can
do but then I said could you please check for some recalls because I
remember a recall on the iPhone 8 and sure enough there was a recall they sent
out the phone replaced it for free and here is the new one so let's go ahead
and open this up so open it up here and let's see what we've got now here's the
actual replacement and this is a replacement under this part of the
letter it shows the serial number of the old device and the new device so instead
of fixing it they replaced it and here's my complaints it wouldn't power on and
then it just didn't work so here's the new device and this is the first time
I'm taking it out of the box and it's brand new I think so it could be a
refurbished one that's ok with me since it was by half a year out of warranty or
more and it looks like it works so let's open this up or take this wrapper off
and now we're at the boot up screen so I can set this up and this is why you
haven't seen an iPhone 8 in my videos for quite some time because it was
broken it worked fine and then all of the sudden it stopped so if you have an
iPhone 8 or an 8 plus I believe and you're having issues where it won't turn
on or maybe it's unresponsive or it's just shutting off but the battery is
fine I'll bring it to Apple and tell them I think there's a recall for this
could you please check they'll check that and most of the time if you're
having these symptoms and it's within a certain serial number range for the
phone this was an early one from the launch day they replaced it for free no
questions asked so they said they'd send it in and they might replace it but I
knew they'd replace it ones they sent it in anyway that's usually what they do
they gave me this back a couple days later and now I have a new phone so let
me know what you think in the comments below have you had this issue with an
iPhone 8 thankfully it's working just fine and I'll be using this in other
videos as well but let me know what you think in the comments below if you've
had this experience if you'd like to get your hands on a new wallpaper of course
I'll link one in the description even though I didn't show it in a video or in
