iPhone 16 Pro Freezes and Restarts

I had the same issue ! Went to apple yesterday to have my phone exchanged and guess what the phone they gave me is doing the exact same thing. At this point I’m extremely annoyed I can barely use my maps or even reply to messages without my phone freezing and turning off

+1. Exact same problem, primarily with settings app which most often just opens to black screen. 1 time it opened but wasn’t usable and many icons missing. Frequent freezes and reboots after trying to open apps and/or settings.

I am having the exact same issues, I am very upset to see my phone freezing jus trying to open the camera. The setting app also is absolutely awful. I'm unable to get to the Wallet section of the settings. I am on the newest version of IOS 18. I can't get the settings app to even open to find my storage amount. My phones very unusable

I have similar issues, restore took 24 hour !!! As it kept freezing and rebooting. Finally setup and charged over night and this morning two freezes and reboots before I could type this. However navigation very slow like its about to freeze and reboot any minutes.

Apple delivered a substandard product here. The iPhone 16 Pro keeps crashing repeatedly and the screen is perpetually frozen. I did the setup through the iCLOUD and I wonder if that is the problem. I feel like I bought a brick, not a phone. What a major disappointment.

I’ve been having the same exact issue and this is my second iPhone 16 Pro. I took the first one back and got a new one in hopes of that resolving the issue but nope 👎. Still dealing with the same issue. I was told that resetting the phone and not using a backup may be the able to fix it. Anyone tried that strategy successfully yet?

iPhone 16 Pro Freezing and Shutting Down – Any Fixes?

I’ve been dealing with a frustrating issue on my new iPhone 16 Pro where it keeps freezing and shutting down randomly. What’s worse is that this is actually my second iPhone 16 Pro. I had it replaced, thinking the first one was a dud, but the new one is doing the same thing!

When I went to the Apple Store, I was told to avoid restoring from a backup and instead manually re-download all my apps, as that might help. I haven’t tried it yet, but has anyone else done this? Did it work for you, or is it just a waste of time? I’m wondering if it’s a batch issue with these phones.

Interestingly, when Apple ran diagnostics on the first phone I returned, they found two hardware problems. The kicker is, they didn’t have any solutions because the problem is so new. They couldn’t even give me a proper fix since it’s not yet documented. Has anyone else gotten any feedback or solutions from Apple?

Would appreciate any input!

I went to the Apple Store and they told me the same thing, I still wasn't able to launch the settings app or certain text messages. Like my spouses text thread it will let me in. However other text threads absolutely won't open. I wondering if its worth having them replace the phone or just return the dang thing. I'm refusing to send back my trade in until this is solved. I can't connect the phone to my car, It won't accept being plugged into my cars USB port, It will charge but won't play music. I'm at a loss, And apple is just leaving us in the dark like this isn't happening

I am now on day 3 of trying to get my new phone to do ANYTHING without crashing. I reset the phone completely. It looked like it was downloading propery, but when I woke up this morning more than 2/3 of the apps had stopped downloading and now it just keeps shutting back off to the black screen with the death spiral. I am upgrading from an Iphone XR and this is EXACTLY why I didn't want to upgrade except the XR was starting to not want to phone anymore either. I gues my next step is to attempt to reset (If I can without crashing) and attempt manual from my ancient macbook. Im eady to toss this useless thousand dollar brick out the window.

Same! I got my new iPhone 16 pro last week and switched from my iPhone 13 Pro which I loved. Since getting the iPhone 16 pro apps crash, the camera fret urns black and crashes, and sometime it will freeze on webpages. It has been a nightmare and I miss my old phone…

Same problem here with my 16PM. And Apple has not given me an update on what next or when my replacement will be sent out. This has been a terrible experience. I have needed my phone due to an emergency. I have had to deal with restarting, freezing, hot phone and going blank for days.

I’m having similar issues, however my 16 pro and both of my previous 16 pro max’s all restarted. I came from Samsung so i did a full transfer which took 5 hours. Idk how it happened, but all of my near 9,000 photos synced to iCloud, to which i have to pay for added storage. Now, the photos app syncs the photos randomly and 1% a day i swear it’s going. I went in and mass deleted nearly 1500 unwanted pics & deleted 40 minutes of videos. Anyway, my phone is restarting no matter what I’m doing. It did it in the middle of a call, in the middle of deleting photos, it’s always restarting on me while I’m in the middle of doing something important or needed. I am growing so frustrated as i cannot figure out what is going on. I thought maybe it was the Background Refresh, so i turned it off. I did realize today that my WiFi temporarily turns off when phone is locked, and turns back on when phone is unlocked. Idk if maybe this is bugging it out? I also am having CarPlay issues. Today, my CarPlay completely bugged and froze in my BMW. Idk i just hope these bugs get fixed soon. AT&T told me there is a iOS 18.01 update but I’ve yet to see it

I had the same issue. Ironically I was on a call with Apple Support when all of a sudden my phone just disconnected and restarted for no apparent reason. Support called back and I remarked that this is concerning seeing as how I just got my new iPhone 16 Plus and am having these issues. Not a happy camper Apple! Also having app freezing too. Maybe I should have kept my 12?

I had also bought a iphone 16 base model back in September and i have having the same issue of phone randomly crashing and restarting I guess its a software issue as after I had updated to ios 18.01 this has been happening

My new IPhone 16 freezes very often. I called support and they had me do what they called a hard reset. It didn’t work until the 4th time. Then they hung up. Of course it’s still happening on a daily basis. Any help out there?
