An Apple customer service rep. helped me through this.


Try force restarting your iPhone.

You can force restart using the following sequence of actions:

  1. Pressing and releasing the Volume Up button quickly
  2. Pressing and releasing the Volume Down button quickly
  3. Pressing and holding the Side button until the Apple Logo pops up


This has different results from a regular restart (via settings or pressing and holding the Side button and a volume button until you are prompted to swipe for a shut down).

Commented before, but I am still having this issue. On a fairly regular basis I need to re-enter the password on my iPhone XR. Basically the phone keeps disconnecting from WiFi and 'forgetting' my WiFi password. The really odd thing is that it's also happening on my 11 year old iMac. This makes me wonder if there is something weird happening in keychain.


That being said, it is not an issue with my work iPhone (11) or work macbook. Obviously this is on a 'separate keychain'.

Since I updated my IOS to 16 i cannot access my wifi and my fone keeps hanging and restarting. I did not have any issues prior to updating my IOS.


I went to istore to help me fix the problem but they told me my board is damaged and there is nothing i can do but buy a new one to replace. Is this part of apple’s plan to force people to buy new fones? My fone is XR

Getting Out of a Boot Loop:

Your iPhone is stuck in a boot loop. This typically happens when an update stalls.  So, refer to my User Tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - Apple Support

I've been having issues with both the cellular modem and the wireless modem. Calls drop every 1-2 minutes, and often I can't connect to wifi. It acts like it's connected, but can't load any websites or ping any addresses, or even connect to my nas. Packet loss on cellular is over 95%. I've been working with Verizon on the issue, and the most they do is tell me to reboot the phone, despite over 5 calls and assurances that someone was going to check signals and follow up with me. I never received any followups either. I do have a call scheduled with an Apple support super tomorrow, so we'll see what happens....
