I updated my phone last night to 18.3. This morning, after getting the phone setup and doing chores, the phone just shut off on its own. I could not get it to turn back on without connecting the charger, yet the battery was 83% charged. Is this a software glitch in the update?

Hi!bigness1970! I experienced the same issue after updating to iOS 18.3. I upgraded my iPhone 16 yesterday, and the update process was surprisingly fast—only took about 7 minutes. But in the past few hours, my phone also has been shutting down for no reason ..... At first I thought it was a hardware issue,tried to restarts it, no luck and it even gets stuck in a boot loop. I suspect that the rapid installation process may have caused system instability. but now since I fixed it,it's likely a software problem😁.
You can try some of the solutions I found:
1. **Force restart your iPhone** – Press and quickly release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button. Hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears.
2. **Reinstall iOS using a computer** – This worked for me, you can see this artical. I used my computer to fix this restart issue , and my iPhone stopped shutting down. You can try the same method.
Also, check out the offcial links here:

Hope this helps! 😊
Also hard rebooted or turned off then back on twice and no dice!
my friend also has this issue; he updated his iPhone 15 Pro max to ios13.8, but no Apple intelligence features were added to the system
I have the same issue, but the above steps did not work for me.
Is there anything else I can try? I am currently on Windows, would trying it on a Mac be worth it?
i also face the same problem on my iphone 12 pro max after updating it to ios 18.3.
very disappointing
lol, I thought this only happened with Microsoft Windows!!!
iOS 18.3 update causing unexpected shutdown on my
Exactly the same has happened to mine, had to buy new phone. Have you had any luck with yours?
Maybe it’s Starlink. iOS 18.3 uses Starlink satellites. I don’t want to update.
Mine is doing the same thing with the emails unfortunately!
My IPhone 13 is crashing after the update. News apps are rebooting every 10 seconds. This wasn’t happening on the previous IOS. Please can you fix this.

BTW, it's also causing my ipad not to connect to itunes by charging cord -- the battery logo says "not charging" and won't allow it to connect to my PC.
