Perform a Forced Restart on the phone. Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. You may need to repeat this several times.


Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


There are only 2 possible results when you perform a Forced Restart:


1) The phone returns to normal operation.....or....


If the phone continues to restart.......


2) There is a hardware problem....(battery?)......with the phone that will need attention at the Apple Store (make an appointment) or take the phone to an authorized Apple Service shop.


You can find a list of authorized service shops in your area using the link just below:
