iPhone 8 receives iOS 11 update, fixes the unresponsive screen issue

Apple has recently released iOS 11.3.1, an update to its operating system. Among the various fixes it provides, the arguably most important one is the iPhone 8 frozen screen one. You see, a few weeks ago iOS 11.3 introduced a bug to iPhone 8 thanks to which any iPhone 8 screen that was not an official Apple product (e.g a new screen from a third-party, put in to substitute a broken original one) would become unresponsive to touch. To nobody’s surprise, this turned out to be a software issue, likely put in place to prevent iPhone owners from using third-party services. Whether or not that is true, Apple has now released a patch that fixes it, so that we can once more fix our phones’ displays for a bit less than the horrendous prices Apple is asking us for.

Other than this fix, iOS 11.3.1 only offers a bunch of less interesting security updates.
