iPhone 16 Pro Freezes and Restarts

For me it started today, when I wanted to use the photos / camera app. Since then, every app I touch, instant freeze and then reboot 🫠

The only thing that is working is the Safari Browser, hence my post.

I saw a previous post on pictures taken by Samsung phones.

I too have older pictures of my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra added, but can‘t say anymore which ones are from there.

iOS Version: 18.1.1

Switched from Android to iPhone 16 and had more bugs and crashes than I ever had on Android. Where are all the people who complained about android? Apple is doing the same now with releasing unfinished software updates :/

My iphone16 Pro is freezing while listening to calls. nothing works even i cant cancel the call or attend. There are also other bugs regarding hanging issues.

Apple need to improve these things, otherwise there shall be a challenge to iphone sales.

I wish I kept my iPhone 12. Much better than my Pro 16 which keeps crashing along with everyone else it seems. I am so disappointed. For the first time since first iPhones were first released I am seriously considering a switch to the new Google phone

Hi all!

Just before installing iOS 18.2.1 my iPhone 16 restarted even was in sleep mode. This means that neither iOS 18.1 and 18.2 resolved problem. Sad thing is that on Google search I could not find any information published after October 2024.

I'm using apple since 2010 when I buy my first and best iMac ever. After 15 years I can write that Apple is only getting worse in both hardware and software and that there is nothing "amazing" left.

If this decline in quality continues I'll probably switch back to computers and gadgets that can at least be repaired without the need for adhesive tapes. :-(

the entire community has spoken. Where is the Apple response; more importantly: the fix …. To stop the need for restarting phones- especially a BRAND NEW 16 pro max (11/24) SEVERAL TIMES - DAILY. Seems to be worst … not better.

NO offense to user communities- but I want to know WHAT IS APPLE DOING ABOUT ISSUE AND WHEN CAN WE EXPECT FIX OR COMPENSATION FOR BEING SOLD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

reading user community comments on how to restart are fixing core issue.

SITUATION IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

I, too am on my second iphone 16, awaiting for yet another replacement bringing me up to three. Im told the issue with these phones is "overchargining" which shuts the phones down completely. (I dont overcharge them and am careful not to keep plugged in)..Have a hard time believing Apple or my carrier cannot fix the problem. The phones shut down completely and cannot be restarted for hours, or even days with the first (new supposedly) 16. My main concern is that I have absolutely no outside communication and CANNOT summon medical or emergency services (cannot utilize 911) should I need to when the phone shuts down. I am retired and over 65 years old..I need a working phone... I have requested an older model (iphone 14 or 15) for replacement but my carrier refuses to accommodate me stating Id have to buy another phone. I'm

not trying to cause a problem or give Apple bad press, but it seems the problem continues. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

I can’t help to wonder if the glitches with the iPhone 16s is why there have been so many deals associated with purchasing them. I have been attempting to purchase music via the iTunes app, and all I get is the throbber constantly going around. This is a so called new phone.

Have just emailed Tim and his top brass this forum and my response to see if it moves the needle on a fix!

Purchased an iPhone 16 Pro 1TB in Dec 2024 directly from Apple and unlocked. Did a restore from my old phone (phone to phone transfer VS iCloud backup) when setting up my new phone.

Have the same issue where

1. iPhone randomly crashes and restarts when being used
2. camera app crashes when taking a video or taking a photo
3. contacts app crashes when changing contact app details, contact photo, poster photo etc
4. phone freezes completely when being used and doesn’t even restarts or reboot itself. Have to wait five mins or so before it automatically does so

I have over 500GB in free space.

It’s frustrating to see from Apple but honestly not surprising as these issues have persisted with most of their new phones in the past too (I upgrade every two years). I have never been closer to switching over to Google and understand it’ll be a bit painful initially but will get settled in when I

and the switch.

Sad and disappointing from Apple at no response and/or attempt to address this.

Best way to lose customers!

Hi , Same here .! in my case, My iphone 16 pro freezes (buffers from few applications while using and brings back to the lock screen) , today while i was on a call it suddenly restarted for the first time.

Has there been any update? I got my 16 pro in January and it’s been doing the same thing to me! My phone literally just turned itself off while I was using an app. The screen freezes and glitches all the time. This is crazy it’s a brand new phone.

I've tried everything and the issue persists. My iPhone 16 Pro Max shuts down after every 2 minutes, 55 seconds approximately every time. Sometimes I don't have enough time to add my Apple ID to the Welcome screen after resetting. So I can't even think about backing it up as 2 minutes are not enough for such an operation.

I have the Max pro 16 when I change from the old foon to the new the problems begane my foon get hot didnt open again is a new one when I got back to the store the told me I cant have an new one I never use this one so I have the right to get an new one .till to day after 2 Month still No foon

I have update my 16 pro to the latest version and it is a ****. I am regretting.... I wish I have not updated my phone. It start hanging freezing, It's just five months I am using brand-new phone. I have used 11 iPhone before that. And I have had never faced such issues in two years. Please do something. Now it feels like waste of money

Yes I do. Mainly game apps that freeze but other apps too. Even some websites. Very frustrating. I paid a lot of money for this phone just to have it crash multiple times a day. I don’t feel I got my moneys worth. This phone is a LEMON. I’m very disappointed.
