As we mentioned earlier this month, there have been reports of unexpected restarts affecting the new iPhone 16 models since their launch. Some users have experienced their iPhone screens becoming unresponsive or lagging when they touch them, only for the device to restart shortly after.
This issue appears to occur at random and may also affect devices in StandBy mode. Some users have reported as many as 10 to 20 crashes a day, while others have had fewer problems. Apple has confirmed that the upcoming iOS 18.1 update will resolve the restart issue. This fix has been noted in the release notes for the iOS 18.1 release candidate.
