Reasons Your iPhone Keeps Restarting Without Prompt

Posted on: 01/14/2023

Okay, so you attempt to turn your iPhone on and notice that it is stuck in a boot loop that won’t stop. You are probably frustrated because you aren’t the one restarting the phone and it just continues to happen. It can be difficult to pin down the cause of an iPhone that continues to restart without being asked to. Below, we will discuss some of the reasons why your phone may be doing this and what you can do to try to fix it. 

Full Storage Capacity 

Have you ever received a warning that your phone’s storage allowance limit is low? If so and you ignored it, you may be seeing the results of that. A phone only has so much available space and let’s face it, we all put a lot of data on our phones. When your phone becomes overloaded with data, it can run out of memory and then malfunction as a result of this. Your phone constantly restarting may be its way of trying to function, but it just can’t. 

Here is what you should do: 

  • Try to force restart your phone
  • If a force restart does not work, you will need to perform a factory reset

Bad Logic Board 

Your iPhone’s logic board is the most critical piece of the phone puzzle and when it goes bad, you can expect to have issues with the phone. If any of the small components on your logic board have become damaged, broken, or unstable, then it will cause the phone to malfunction. 

Here is what you should do: 

  • Look at the logic board and identify if there are any signs of an issue 
  • Take your phone to a logic board repair shop 
  • If the board cannot be repaired, have it replaced 

Issues with the Charger Port 

Unfortunately, problems with the interior flex cable in the charging port is a common issue with iPhones. This cable is prone to wear and tear and if exposed to any environmental conditions, it can become damaged. When the cable does not work as it should, it is possible that your phone cannot hold a charge or maintain enough power to finish the boot cycle. 

Here is what you should do:

  • Look inside the charger port to determine if there is anything inside of it
  • Clean out any debris, dirt, or dust present in the port 
  • Replace the charger port 

Issues with the Peripheral 

The signals from your phone go to and from the logic board and any type of disruption to this signal can cause the phone to act off or incorrectly. In fact, disruption in the communication of hardware in the phone can cause the phone to restart several times. 

Here is what you should do:

  • Open your device and then disconnect anything that is not required for you to be able to power on the phone 
  • Take a USB cable and connect it to the phone, so that it will turn on 
  • Once the phone is on, you can start to reconnect the parts one by one 
  • You will be able to narrow down where the issue is coming from this way
