Im not sure what to do... my iphone keeps restarting every 3 minutes because I did not update it recently but I cannot update it or back up my iPhone since it is restarting so often.
iPhone 12 Pro Max
Two basic troubleshooting steps:
A) Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:
Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).
B) If you can, check your battery status in Settings>Battery>Battery Health & Charging>Maximum capacity. If it is close to 83-80%, have it replaced as soon as possible, since it might have unpredictable behavior.
If the issue still persists, it might be a hardware (digitizer? other internal component?) failure, and I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.

What is the battery health capacity of your iPhone 12 Pro Max? How much free space do you have left on your iPhone?
——
To find out how much free space you have, open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ About ➡️ Available: Here, you free available storage space will be displayed. If you have less than 10 - 12 GB of space left then this can also be the issue.
To find out the battery health capacity of your iPhone, Open Settings ➡️ Battery ➡️ Battery Health ➡️ Maximum Capacity: Here, you will see the battery health capacity in percentage. If this is less than or close to 80%, then the battery will have to be replaced and probably is the culprit of all of those restarts.
