Many iPhone 16 users are facing issues with their phones. Reports say the devices freeze, slow down, and even restart on their own. These problems seem to have appeared right after the phone’s launch, and software fixes so far have not solved them fully. Unfortunately, this is not the only issue on the iPhone 16 series that has been reported. Yesterday, we reported that many iPhone 16 series users are lamenting the battery drain that is plaguing the series. Before this, there have been reports of touch-screen malfunction.
Users Share Issues Online
Forums like Reddit and Apple’s support site are full of posts about the crashes. Some users say the phone gets stuck in standby mode or takes too long to respond. Others report that their phones restart without warning. These bugs cause major frustration, with many people struggling to use their phones as expected.
The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max seem to be the most affected models. While owners of the standard and Plus versions report fewer issues, Pro users are seeing frequent crashes — in some cases up to 20 times a day. Some Pro users mentioned that they reached out to Apple, which offered them replacement devices, but the issues persisted even with the new phones.
Apple rolled out iOS 18.0.1 to tackle some launch bugs, but users say it did not solve the restart and crash problems. Earlier fixes addressed minor screen issues and camera glitches, but this restart issue seems to remain unsolved.
Several users attempted a full reset of their iPhones in an effort to bypass the bugs. However, restoring data from an iCloud backup seems to reintroduce the same issues. This indicates a potential connection between the malfunction and iCloud, although no official confirmation has been provided.
No Word from Apple Yet
Thus far, Apple has not issued an official statement addressing these complications. It remains uncertain whether they are developing a permanent solution or planning to release another software patch in the near future. In the meantime, users can only anticipate a swift update to restore their devices to proper functionality. These persistent issues have left numerous iPhone 16 Pro owners frustrated, particularly given the substantial cost of such a high-end product. Until a dependable resolution is provided, some users may need to factory reset their phones without retrieving backups from iCloud to prevent further system failures.
Wow, overpriced iphone crashing. So laughable
