Apple posts iPhone 8 Logic Board Replacement Program
Here's a clip from the iPhone 8 Logic Board Replacement Program page:
" Apple has determined that a very small percentage of iPhone 8 devices contain logic boards with a manufacturing defect. Affected devices may experience unexpected restarts, a frozen screen, or won't turn on. (Does not affect iPhone 8 Plus models.)

Apple will repair eligible devices, free of charge. Affected units were sold between September 2017 and March 2018 in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Macau, New Zealand, and the U.S. If your iPhone 8 has an eligible serial number, Apple will repair it, free of charge..."

The program page has a Serial Number checker and how to have affected iPhones repaired.
