iPhone 16 Pro Max crashing still

I have the 16 pro max, 1TB, bought new from Apple in September. I’ve experienced random screen freezing and sudden crashes & restarts. I’ve been reading about others with the same problem through October & November. Someone mentioned an update is supposed to address this, but it’s January 4 now and my phone just crashed and restarted this morning (85% battery, was only checking my email, the weather, and Notes). Has anyone heard of Apple promising to fix this? Or maybe I need to take it back to the store?


I have never been so disappointed with a new Apple product in my many, many years as a customer. My 11 was better! That’s inexcusable for a new phone.

Thank you very much! I will try those. What a dumb thing to happen to a brand new latest version of an iPhone. Never had a problem with new phones. Again, thanks for your help! If it works out, I’ll come back and update this.

back up your phone then restore to factory to settings an use the backup to get data back, if the issue still persist, then restore the phone as new and not from backup, and see how it performs.
