The nightmare of every smartphone owner is undoubtedly dropping it on hard ground and the resulting shattering of its display. The price for repair is usually quite high, but due to the limitations that a broken display brings, unfortunate owners have to bite the bullet. However, they often try to reduce this price to minimum and therefore choose unauthorized services to replace the display, which often use low-quality non-original parts for replacement and their procedures are not entirely correct. Although you can save a few hundred crowns on these, the money saved can cost you quite a lot in the end.

With the arrival of the new iOS 11.3, which Apple launched the day before last Thursday in the early evening, a lot of new improvements have been added to Apple phones. However, some owners of last year's iPhone 8 began to complain that their display stopped working after the update. And guess what these owners have in common. If you are guessing that the replacement of a broken display with a new one in an unauthorized service, you are right. Apparently he is trying Apple with this "innovation" to make users of the new "eights" to use authorized services when replacing a broken display. Although they are a bit more expensive, they can rely on their professionalism and first-class quality of spare parts, which is necessary for the full functionality of iPhones. Apple it uses its own microchip to control the display, which needs to be upgraded along with the replaced display, otherwise the phone will refuse to "accept" the new phone part. 

iPhone 8 to iPhone 8 Plus:

At this time it is not clear whether Apple decides to remove this “new feature” with the next update or not. However, since a similar problem has already appeared in the past, for example with the iPhone 6s, which after replacing the display and switching to iOS 11 also struggled with a non-functional display and Apple solved it by fixing it in iOS 11.0.3, a similar procedure can be expected now. However, some unauthorized repair shops, according to the server 9to5mac broken iPhone 8 screen repairseventThey vehemently reject it because they are aware of this problem. 

Either way, it's better to have your own iPhone 8 guard like an eye in your head and if a collision occurs, it is better to leave its repair to experts at authorized service centers. We do not know how many users are affected by this problem, but I bet you definitely do not want to be among them.
