iPhone 16 Pro max freezing

Andyl1878 — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 11:35:58 GMT

Hi all

got my new phone today. Updated it from a backup and currently at the downing apps stage. It currently keeps freezing and rebooting. 3 hours in and done it 6/7 times. Cannot contact ee as the phone reboots before I get through the queue so just looking to see if anyone else has experienced this on day 1

Hey there @Andyl1878, welcome back to the EE Community!

This certainly isn't the start we'd want you to have for a new handset.

Have you tried updating it to the latest software first, then trying the restore?

Same, another shiny turd from apple that doesn't work properly advertised AI features it doesn't even have and to top it all off it freezes all the time super value for a over £1000

@markrogers12 Apple have very clearly stated that AI is only available in the US as of 18.1. it’s never been advertised by Apple that it’s available outside the US on 18.1.

But there is a work around that you can do on the device should you be interested in doing this. You might want to read THIS

AI for UK users hopefully is coming soon. 18.2 next month

Do you still have the old iPhone? Could you not clone the old phone rather than installing from a backup.

Run phone updates after the clone has finished
