Why is my iPhone restarting every few minutes?
Repeated restarts can be caused by a worn battery, but they can also come from a faulty part, liquid exposure, a board-level issue or software. Because several causes produce the same symptom, diagnostics are the right starting point rather than assuming a battery replacement.
- Possible causes
- A worn or failing battery
- A faulty component such as a charging port flex or sensor
- Liquid exposure or a board-level fault
- Software or an iOS update issue
- Likely next step
- Note when the restarts happen (on charger, while idle, when using the camera) and bring the phone in for testing.
- When diagnostics are needed
- This symptom usually needs diagnostics because the cause cannot be confirmed from the symptom alone.
