Updates do not solve the problem

The first reports emerged shortly after the iPhone 16 models were released in September, but they were few and far between. What Apple released in this process iOS 18.0.1 and iOS 18.1 updates were also insufficient to fix the problem. Users report that their devices are still experiencing the same issues despite installing the latest software updates.

Although some users who signed up with Apple received new phones from Apple to resolve the issue, the same issue is reported to be repeating on these devices.

Although the problem does not occur at the same frequency for every user, some users report that their phone crashes 10 to 20 times a day.
