iPhone freezes and i cant update it

Hello, I have iPhone 12 mini and after update 16.2 it started freezing every few minutes. I changed my old battery and all diagnostics said that it is not HW problem. In service they asked me to set up new icloud account but i dont want to lose my data I tried to update it (iOS 16.3) but everytime it is paused because of freezing. Please do you have any advice ? Thanks a lot.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Hey there Denisminar,


If your iPhone is becoming unresponsive, the first step is to force restart it. If you’re unable to back up and update due to this, you may want to try doing both of these on a computer. The steps can vary depending if you’re backing up and updating using a Mac or PC so review the articles for info on which steps to take depending on your scenario:


How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Finder


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes


We hope this helps. Take care.
