iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Goes Black After iOS 18.5 Update (Software Bug?)

"I know how to fix it,but the problem is that the buyers get that problem very often and dont want buy or use so expensive phone which every time very often get stuck.So now if i sell IPhone 16 pro max i say to buyer that he can get that issue and i cannot fix it if Apple cant do anything"

Getting this Fixed:

You have no control in when a Boot Loop happens and why. Take your iPhone with glory, and use it best you can. Do you have AppleCare on this? If so, get this serviced. Use the Genus Bar links, as mention by others in this thread.

iPhone 16 pro max screen get black and unresponsive when incoming calls ring start on international roaming number if phone have dual sim , physical sim and eSIM ,

if call come to local eSIM than there is no issue but when call come to physical sim on international roaming mode than many times screen become black and unresponsive not all the times , I made video of it but am not able to attached here Vedio

If it was a mistake in iOS 18.6.1 there would be tens of thousands of posts about it. As there are not, it is a problem with your phone. Go to Settings/General/iPhone Storage and see if you have at least 10 GB free. If you don’t that is why it isn’t updating. In that case you can update with your computer.

Other possibilities: you have some junk app that claims to clean or optimize your iPhone, or that claims to protect against viruses, or you have VPN installed.

Then it would be really smart to read the 2 pages of the thread that you just added to.

I’m still getting the same issue. Like everyone else, it’s totally random other than the fact really it seems to do it at the most awkward of times like when you’re about to pay for something or use the map. Come on Apple, sort this out.

I have the same problem. Apple 16 pro max-my phone went black today while it was still charged. It was on silent mode so I don't know if the phone was actually on and just black.

I don't have live wall paper. I've tried charging and the up, down, hold method many times with no success. I did get a notification to update my phone a few days ago and haven't done that yet, so I thought that might be the reason. I'm planning to call apple tomorrow, but I might be past the one year support mark.

Does anyone have any other suggestions. I paid a lot for this phone to be deceased.

Same issue here on iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.5. Thanks for posting.

Back up 18.5

What did you do? I have iphone 15 pro, but I didn't upgrade my ios,it just went black screen after I unplugged it, it's been 2 weeks

He has another thread that has been responded to about his inability to update.
