iPhone 16 Pro Max randomly shutting down while using or locked

Mine shut down while I was posting in Facebook as if the battery went dead. Nothing would turn it back on so I plugged in the charger and in a few seconds it showed the Apple logo with black background and came back up. Had an 86% charge. WTF.

Same thing is happening to me on the iPhone 16 pro max. 3x so far, and always while I’m scrolling or posting on either Facebook or instagram.

i can restart as if nothing is wrong, but have no idea why this is happening. Has never happened while the phone is just sitting there.

Battery was 90% plus and no charger cord plugged in every time this happened

I have the pro and this has happened to me once let me know if you figure out why this happened.

Mine did as well just now … was in the middle of writing a long text and the screen suddenly went black. Tapping the screen and pressing side buttons wouldn’t wake it up. I powered it back up and of course my text draft was gone.

Me too today. iPhone 16 pro. I was looking at a photo and it shut off for no reason while on charger at about 80%. Battery life is perfect. I had to use power button to turn back on.

I have had it happen 4 or 5 times now originally I thought it had overheated on my desk under the hvac vent, but it happened while I was outside and it was 35 degrees too

I have the regular iPhone 16 and mine just randomly powered off like it had died as well. When I turned it back on it was at 76%.
