I know on the iPhone 8, you must hit the volume up button, volume down button, then hold the side button until the hard reset begins. I cannot get this to work -it only gives me the option to shut the phone down normally. What should I do? The phone is new and has no other issues.
It does take time for it to restart itself. If you hit the Vol Up, Vol Down, and Side Key fast enough you will see the Shut Down do not lift your finger off the side key and after 15-20 secs it should shut down.

Well, I’m having a similar problem. I’ve tried all the suggestions and still nothing works. My iPhone 8, Plus, will not hard restart, soft restart, etc. Nothing works. I’m waiting for it to shut down when the battery runs out. Hopefully that will do it when I recharge.
I have the black screen of death. It won’t turn on even after all suggestions. The computer doesn’t even detect it when I plug it in. I’m not even done paying it off and it has decided to die on me!
