iPhone 6 keeps restarting after new iOS 11 update

Started last night (Dec 2 at around 1:00AM, My phone keep rebooting. It seems that upgrading to 11.2 solves the problem, but how can you upgrade if the phone keep rebooting all the time??? I can't even connect my Iphone to my computer to backup data. Please help!

Not in my case, the only stable version is iOS 10.x. iOS 11.x has killed the phone. I have all notifications turned off, time rolled back, network data off, everything switched off basically. There are many potential fixes, but the one thing that stands true is that the iPhone 6 was not an ideal candidate for iOS 11.

With that said ... I see no representative of Apple making apologies or offering anything to those who now own a brick.

For some reason I can't mark "Helpful" on comment above, I have the same problem and my phone is only usable if plugged in at this point. iOS 6 should not have been upgradeable to 11. Apple needs to allow a downgrade for this phone rather than forcing people to buy a new device. If a fix is not presented in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to Android (that will happen regardless after this mess but I prefer not to spend money I don't have to replace what was before a perfectly good device).

I have had no issue with my iPhone 6 apart from yesterday’s date bug which was fixed by updating to11.2. Yes it took a while to update with the screen locking but I left it to its own devices and it works a charm now.

Hi if you have the date bug then the clock app is greyed out when you open it. So I strongly suggest updating to iOS 11.2 no need for a new phone !

Go to settings display and brightness and change the lock screen to a more suitable time.

If you didn’t upgrade to ios 11.2 I suggest you do because it fixed the problem for me and I was on 11.1 before. I’m just a human with an iPhone.

Hopefully it works.

Ah well at least you looked at your Clock app to ascertain this wasn’t the problem.

I’m assuming it was a pain to update to the most recent ios11.2 yesterday to see if it fixed it then update all your apps only to have to reinstall from your earlier iOS back up.

I got told about an app called BSSM it tells you cool info about your phone chip etc Actually probably from this thread.

Good luck with your issue hope the phone shop can sort it out.

Thanks. If I I stall as a new phone I can just about get to the end before it restarts .... there is no way on earth I can get to the end of an icloud restore. Even so, whilst the new iOS loads there are 3 restarts. Now I have a clean 11.2 install which restarts every 2 minutes! Sadly, the only answer hear is to allow iPhone 6 users to downgrade to iOS 10.x

I can see a lot more of this coming to the fore before much longer!

I've just installed 11.2 a few hours ago and I'm testing. I'm having better luck than dybmowst but it did restart twice when it hit about 65%. I was being super intensive with it (I was listening to downloaded music with headphones and it was in my pocket, screen dark and most notifications off) ; ) The camera was snappier so it seems to be quicker, but I have to test it at battery level below 60% to really see, that is when it usually goes into the restart loop.

I spent several hours in the last 24 hours or so helping many people who posted roughly 20 different questions about the same problem in this site and others. I could have just told everyone to "you need to read the whole thread" but I elected to answer their questions instead.

After further testing with 11.2, I can confirm that it does NOT fix the issue many of us have had for the infinite-restart (unrelated to date issue). When it works it does seem to be slightly quicker, but then goes into the restart cycle and becomes a brick.

For me, it will NOT restart if plugged in. For others with this issue, same for you?

Hi there.. I wiped phone using iTunes.. restored clean 11.2 and then manually installed all(most) apps again and all is working perfectly.. 2 days now.. battery life better and a tad faster.. recommmed you try :-)

I upgraded my iPhone 6s plus to IOS 11.1.2 yesterday evening and my phone has been restarting randomly all day at intervals of about 2 minutes! I have done hard reset. I have disabled third party notifications under settings but all these dod not fix the problem. I cannot type a complete sentence on the iPhone and making or receiving calls is with many disruptions. I bought this phone (new) in September 2016 from Apple store and it has been working fine before the IOS update. I will appreciate any suggestion to fix this problem.

Hi sounds like you need to goto settings display and brightness and change the lock screen to a time more suitable.

If this doesn’t work open the clock app and see if it’s greyed out? If it is then you need to temp change your date to dec 1st then download the current uptodate iOS 11.2

Hello All,

I had a similar issue this morning where my Iphone 6 plus was restarting every 2 minutes and also whenever I open an app (any app) it was crashing. Then I upgraded to iOS 11.2 after seeing it has some bugs fixed and improvements. Even during the download and preparing for update the iphone restarted few times. I continued with the upgrade to 11.2 and after that its been 4 hours now and the iphone didn't restart.

Hope this helps.

I am pleased that it works for you, sadly many of us are still suffering restarts even after a clean 11.2 install.

I wonder about having replacement parts in iPhones causing problems with iOS 11.x?

If the other chaps are following this, how many suffering continual reboots have one or more of the following ...

Aftermarket screen, aftermarket battery ... or a faulty home button through using a replacement part.

There has to be a commonality somewhere!
