iPhone 16 Pro Freezes and Restarts

My iPhone 16 Pro 256gb was fine yesterday. This morning, it has been crashing constantly. The settings app and the calendar app are the worst culprits. Calendar just freezes, you cannot drill down to the day. The settings app just turns black and then crashes. Multiple times the whole phone restarts. I tried a hard restart to see if it was a cache issue. Didn't help. I turned off the wifi and that seemed to slightly help when using other apps. One time the settings app worked and I went to see the analytics logs. Lots of crashes in there and 1 kernel panic. Also, Siri is not responding; just hangs there with no response.


I spent 3 days transferring all the apps from my iPhone 13 Pro and do NOT want to reset it again. Getting an authenticator app configured with all my accounts takes hours. This is very disappointing.


Anyone have any thoughts or proven solutions? Thank you in advance.

Just the same on my new iPhone 16 Pro Max. Backup from iCloud was very long, and some apps still have not been downloaded and still waiting after two days now. Phone crashes multiple times when some apps are attempted to open. Other apps. no logo shown. Very unstable and almost unusable. What to do??
