Here’s how to use iTunes to fix an iPhone 8, iPhone X, or iPhone 8 Plus stuck on the Apple logo.

1. Connect iPhone and computer via USB cable.
2. Select the iPhone 8 on iTunes.
3. Choose “Restore”.
4. Confirm restoration.
5. After restoration, choose a backup file or stay in default factory settings.

Solution #3: DFU Mode
