The iPhone 8 launched in September of 2017, alongside its close counterpart, the iPhone 8 Plus. Both smartphones generated relatively low fanfare compared to other models of iPhones, but both devices brought impressive specs with great functionality and an all-round effective operation, making the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus popular among iPhone lovers.

However, in spite of their top qualities, a number of users have noticed some rather bothersome glitches with the iPhone 8, prompting the hunt for solutions to these glitches.

In this piece, we will take a close look at some of the common problems with the iPhone 8 and how to fix these issues.

  • Battery Swelling issue: One of the very common problems with the iPhone 8, this issue has got a lot of buzz from iPhone 8 users, with quite a number complaining that their device batteries tend to swell up, eventually disfiguring the device, as the screen detaches from the back.

  • Bluetooth connectivity issue: Another in the list of common problems with the iPhone 8, this issue does seem to rear its ugly head in quite a number of smartphones and the iPhone 8 was not left out. As with most iPhones from the iPhone 7, the iPhone 8 has no headphone jack, making Bluetooth issues more pressing as owners can not listen to music.

You can now try pairing this device again.
  3. Try resetting your device’s network settings.

  • Wi-Fi connection problems: A number of users have reported that their iPhone 8 devices occasionally refuse to connect to Wi-Fi, effectively cutting them off of the internet if that is their main source of connection. Some other users have noticed their devices keep displaying an “ incorrect password ” error message even when the password is correct.

If you currently battle this issue, these tips below may prove helpful:

  1. Install the latest iOS update on your device.
  2. Try to restart your device and the router, then reconnect them.
  3. You can also forget the network in question. To do this, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Forget This Network , then confirm. Once this is done, find this network and try connecting afresh.
  4. As a last resort, you can try resetting network settings . To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings . After this, enter your passcode and confirm.
  5. Now, you can try connecting to the Wi-Fi network from scratch.

While some of these common problems with the iPhone 8 can be fixed by a straightforward software update, some of the other more complicated issues (like battery swelling) may require a replacement device from an Apple center.
