iPhone 15 Plus Randomly Rebooting after iOS 18.2 - Anyone Else Experiencing This?

I've been using my iPhone 15 Plus for a while with no issues, but recently it after updating it to iOS 18.2 it has started rebooting randomly. It doesn't seem to be related to a specific app or time and there’s no VPN active. All my apps are up to date, and I’ve already performed a settings reset, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18

Hey Vijaya183! I'm sorry to hear you're facing the same issue. I ended up going to Apple to get a full diagnostic and it turned out the phone needed to have a couple of sensors replaced, which was like getting a new phone pretty much. You'd only keep the screen and rear camera. I am returning this one and just placed an order for a brand new phone. I know it's not good news but I think it's fair I give a real update.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
