iPhone 6 keeps restarting after new iOS 11 update

It seems to me that there is little point in trying to bring this to the attention of Apple. I have had this problem before, I fixed it by downgrading to 10.3.3 with an ipsw file. Now I upgraded back to ios 11.0.3 some time later (expecting some fixes to have been made) and the iphone is now restarting again every 2 minutes. Because my iPhone is old and out of warranty, and has a replacement screen on it, Apple refuse to believe that their ios upgrade is faulty .. or the cause on an iPhone which keeps randomly rebooting. Even during the setup process this keeps happening.

I spent 2 hours on the phone to Apple tech support as a result of the problems .... They will take you through all the usual resetting the software and everything else they can read off the crib-card. But actually, and despite any kind of reset or reload of the ios the handset keeps rebooting every 2 minutes. IT DIDN'T MISS A HEART-BEAT WHEN RUNNING IOS 10.3.3!!!!

As I sit here typing this my iPhone has rebooted several times ... and I haven't even touched it! Apple are quite literally washing their hands of this problem, and anyone who has had an iPhone working well previously, and now finds themselves with a paperweight, have no recourse of action. They say drop it into a service centre, get charged £200 to fix it and you can have it back working .... Apple bust it with a bad ios upgrade, and want to charge you nearly as much as a new phone to fix a problem which they caused in the first place!!!

As you can see, I am very angry about this and I think that I will now be going back to Android as they are by far more reliable.

P.S. I am a pofessional in the digital telecoms world ... this is not my first rodeo with digital communications technology!!!

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 6. The minute the IOS 11 update was installed, the phone randomly began restarting, texts do not come through, calls consistently drop etc. I have attempted Hard Reset, Reset All Settings, Erase All Content and Settings all to no avail. I contacted my carrier (Verizon) without help. This is definitely a software issue.

This is my husbands phone. My iPhone 5S has never given me a problem. I upgraded today to the X, but had my 5S for over 4 years....never a glitch. If anyone has an answer, I have two ears willing to listen.

Just in case it wasn't clear earlier here is the fix released today:

Update to iOS 11.2

Settings > General > Update

Official update from Apple:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch unexpectedly restarts - Apple Support

If you can't update:

December 2 "respring" Clock/Reminder restarting/overheating iPhone bug

If you still need help try updating your iOS device with iTunes on a Mac/PC by a USB/Lightning cable connection:

iTunes for Windows: Update the software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad

(This article is for Windows, but it's a similar procedure for Mac)

I don't have the date issue. This has been happening for weeks, more in line with the original posters question (the date thing was inserted by other users on the thread and while similar, is unrelated to the original post). A deeper discussion is here: Re: IOS 11 - iPhone 6 - bugs

I have the same problem with the restarts, but it happens at all levels of battery charging. Doing hard restarts didn’t help. I did a factory reset, which helped stopped it from falling into a 5-20 minute restarting loop where the phone couldn’t boot. But now, after the factory restore, it just randomly restarts 3-6 times a day, but doesn’t circle he drain. This did NOT happen before the iOS 11 update and it is not tied with using any particular app.

It’s funny you mentioned being abroad with this happening because i am as well and at first I wondered if it was the Thai SIM card doing something weird in my phone, but it seems people at home are experiencing it too. I don’t have the issue regusrdig battery charge status though. Like everyone else in this threa I updated to IOS 11.3 recently but the restarting just began occurring the past few days. It first happened while playing a game and I thought it was jus the game. However, I went to the beach and wanted to listen to music on my Bluetooth speaker and it restarted 3 different times in the middle of playing my iTunes. I am assuming it is yet another bug in the new OS but I also wonder with mine occurring during the use of an online game or while paired to a Bluetooth speaker that maybe it has to do with some kind of strain on the processor that the new OS is telling the phone to reboot when it’s working too hard. I am using an iPhone 6s Plus.

I am also on the same boat as you. My phone keeps rebooting after the update. I spoke support and tried reinstalling the update again through itunes, but nothing happened. I have an in person appointment this Sunday and keeping my fingers crossed. otherewise i will have to restore my iphone, which would erase 50GB+ data on my phone

Actually I just restored back to a clean 11.1.2 via iTunes and then manually reinstalled all my apps.. Its been stable now for 2 hours.. whereas I had reboots every few minutes.. perhaps an option.. Im happier than I was a few hours ago :-)

My phone did this because of some unfortunate app interactions. Try this: Restore from an iCloud backup (look online to find out how to do this) then stop the backup after you have access to your phone but before the apps all redownload - you can easily stop the downloading by pausing each individual app or by turning WiFi off and by making sure the apps store cannot be accessed by cellular data. Use your phone for a couple of hours like this to make sure it fixed the problem. Then slowly add apps a few at a time. Eventually you will have the problem again and you have found the guilty app. Do the whole thing again and delete that app rather than letting the backup download it. Good luck.

Apple haven't done a thing to remedy my problem, they're just not interested in anything but selling new units. If its out of warranty then you may as well park it in a drawer and go buy an android based phone .... that's exactly what I did and I'm happy that I now have a reliable phone.

Sorry to hear about your phone though, its a real pain in the backside!

Apple date bug. Perhaps some of you are affected by the dec2nd date bug. Where your phone locks after a few seconds. You can check this by going straight to the clock and if its all greyed out or black then you need to Update to ios11.2. If it happened overnight dec1-2.

Others. Manually change date to dec1st.

Another fix go to General settings display and brightness and switch autolock to 5 mins. (This wont work if its the clock issue)

They have not fixed the problem. I can’t even type a message longer than this without my phone rebooting. My clock was frayed out but isn’t any longer. My phone updated automatically even though I have declined the upgrade several times.

Try to turn off notifications for all your apps then restarting the phone by pushing the home and side buttons for 10 seconds. It worked for me. You can also check to see if your clock is greyed out - which indicates that you need to update to the newest patch.

I think the magic apple fix is to press and hold the side button and menu button on the front (iphone 6) unill the apple logo appears.

If you do get the iphone on manual reset to dec 1st then download and update the nes ios11.2

Jackie, thank you very much. It actually did something by itself and allowed it to finish the update. This "patient" has been stable for a while now. LOL I pray it stays that way because today is shopping and errands day, so being out there without a phone is quite an inconvenience. I am an older person not as tech oriented, so I am so happy (for now) that it fixed itself. Thank you for the prompt response. Have a great day!
