I just wanna vent… and if anyone has a fix, all the better!
Phone is about a month old. Never been dropped or drowned. Shortly after the upgrade I’d noticed the phone would restart sometimes when I wasn’t using it(maybe a couple times, apparently a common issue), wasn’t an issue for me at the time. But now, the phone stays powered up maybe a minute or less sometimes; making it effectively useless…
I’ve deleted a bunch of apps, updated all the remaining, updated iOS, cleared cache and data, and tried numerous Hard Restarts. All to no avail, the problem has just gotten worse over the last week. Chatted with AppleSupport last week, they tried to run diagnostics, which just stayed in an endless Initiating loop(oddly, the phone never crashed when running diagnostics… I guess the answer is always be running diagnostics).
The worst part is that I’m working in a remote area, and nowhere near an Apple Store, and this is the only phone I have access to for keeping in touch with the family. Makes it all the more difficult working away when a person doesn’t have readily available communication with the fam!
Anyway… that do be my rant! I do have an appointment with the Apple Store when I rotate out, but I just wanted to exercise my internet rights to bitch and moan about it.
u/uniquenamesaredumb, you have warranty on the device you purchased, so take advantage of that, have that unit repaired or swapped for a new one.
