Black Screen on iPhone X happens many times a day

I used to get this only occasionally. Now happens multiple times/day. I've done the volume up, down, and off switch, but that takes a while to reboot, and sometimes need to use phone quickly, like when I'm in the middle of a call. Is it time for a new phone????


iMac, macOS 10.12

Hi brendafromsacramento,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like your iPhone restarts unexpectedly, is that right? If so, you can check that your iOS is running the most recent version as well as check your battery as outlined here: If your iOS or iPadOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly - Apple Support

"Check your hardware

On an iPhone 6 or later, check your battery health under Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging.

If your battery doesn't need service, and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch continues to frequently restart or turn off, contact Apple Support.

If your apps quit unexpectedly, learn what to do.

If your device has a frozen screen, doesn't respond, or becomes stuck when you turn it on, learn what to do for iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch."


We hope this helps you.


Cheers!

Hi there brendafromsacramento,


Thanks for following up. Based on what's happening, double-check Settings > General > Software Update to see if you're prompted to update. If you have any available, try backing up and then updating and test to see if that helped: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If the issue persists, reach us here: Get Support


Take care.

Thank you for your reply, but no, this is not what happens. What happens is for example, when a call is being answered by a robot and you go through their whole message and just when you are ready to hit the number that they are asking for, the screen goes black, And you can still hear the sound, but you cannot make a selection because the screen is black. Of course, in these instances, a reboot is completely unhelpful.
