Screen freeze - iPhone X

Twice now (in the last two weeks) I have received a call and, on ending the call, my screen freezes and the phone is, ergo, unusable. Mr. Phonez manages to unlock it, but as I said to him, how long is this going to happen. Has anyone got some helpful suggestions as to why this is happening and what I can do to prevent it.

iPhone X, iOS 14

Double check something:

You may have a poor battery condition which cannot provide sufficient power for peak performance. What is the Battery Health of your iPhone? Open Settings Battery Battery Health and let us know which percentage you see for Maximum Capacity. Also note what is written under Peak Performance. If your battery's Maximum Capacity shows a value of 80% or less, then it has gone through its lifecycle and therefore should be replaced, according to Apple.


If all looks well above when you checked the battery health then ry and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
