Hello.
I have a 8th generation iPad with 32gb and recently ive been facing problems.
I'm on iOS 15.2 (latest) and every time I click my home button after 30 minutes+ of use, it goes onto a black screen with a bootloop. After, It will go back onto the lock screen and repeat this cycle for 3 or more times and I would have to put it down for 5 minutes to fix it.
Should I take it into Apple, Or is this a software issue?
iPad, iPadOS 15
Hi there amel129,
It sounds like your iPad is restarting unexpectedly, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.
Take a look at it here: If your iOS or iPadOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly
We hope this helps.
Well... Found this today from Malwarebytes... which of course is only speculation.... but cannot find anything here about this threat:
Just learned there may be a malware which interrupts Shutdown on iOS.. it interupts the InCallService > SpringBoard > Backboardd. It simulates the shutdown/turn off of the iPhone but still has 'access' to microphone, cameras, etc. According to the website 'malwarebytes', this is what was potentially found: researchers from ZecOps have created a new proof-of-concept (PoC) iPhone Trojan capable of doing “fun” things. Not only can it fake a device shutting down, it can also let attackers snoop via the device’s built-in microphone and camera, and receive potentially sensitive data due to it still being connected to a live network connection.
No info can be found here regarding this "potential "threat.
I am sure there is really no problem...
Hello, Yes:
Since this post has been made, I’ve completely reset my iPad. Since then, it’s seemed to work just fine! I don't know if it was something on my apple id, But every password has been deleted off that and I wrote them down. I’m not sure what it was.. But at-least it’s fixed.
Springboard Bootloop
