Please stop sending me these generic standard copy paste solutions. I have already read and performed this stuff. It’s the first thing I do when I have issues. These procedures are easily found on Apples website and YT channel. I wouldn’t post the question if these steps worked. I need a real

answer to this issue. Even after trying these steps the phone continues to restart by itself. Anyone else have some useful insight into this?

How are forum volunteers supposed to know what you already tried if you didn't tell us.

How about the "thank you for that advice but..." approach to responses, you will get more help.

"iPhone Restarts By Itself.: iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 26.2 randomly restarting by itself. I caught my iPhone restarting itself after placing it on the charger 5 minutes later. This is the second time today I have seen this happening without anyone or anything interacting with the phone. This started after updating to iOS 26.2."

"The only common factor in these random restarts is it only happens when the phone is plugged to power or on a wireless charger. It doesn’t happen when running on the phone’s battery."

When Updating:

So, next time you go about installing an update, make sure it is plugged in to an external power source when you go about doing so. Your iPhone is stuck in a Boot Loop. See if my User Tip Fixes this: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - Apple Sommunity
