The iPhone 16 Plus is designed for users who love a big screen and strong performance without the Pro price tag. But lately, many iPhone 16 Plus owners are noticing strange behavior, like apps freezing, the phone restarting, or even the camera refusing to open. In most cases, the culprit isn’t the hardware — it’s the software.
At Apple Repair Centre, we’ve helped hundreds of users fix frustrating iPhone 16 Plus software problems — all without needing to replace any parts.
In this blog, we’ll go over the most common software issues, what causes them, and how our technicians can get your phone back to working like new.
Most Common iPhone 16 Plus Software Problems
Here’s what iPhone 16 Plus users are reporting most often:
🌀 1. Phone Freezing or Lagging
Your phone might get stuck while opening apps or navigating between screens. This is usually due to overloaded background processes or system bugs.
🔁 2. Unexpected Restarts or Boot Loops
Some users experience sudden reboots or their device getting stuck on the Apple logo — a sign of firmware corruption or an interrupted update.
🔋 3. Battery Draining Faster Than Expected
If your battery is dying quicker than usual, software bugs, background syncing, or a misconfigured setting could be the real issue — not the battery itself.
🌐 4. Wi-Fi & Network Bugs
Your iPhone might struggle to stay connected to Wi-Fi or mobile networks, even in areas with strong signal. A software reset or carrier setting update usually fixes this.
📸 5. Camera App Won’t Open
If the camera stays black or crashes on launch, it’s likely due to permission issues, background conflicts, or an iOS bug.
📱 6. App Glitches & Crashes
After an iOS update, some apps may start freezing, crashing, or refusing to open at all — especially if they haven’t been updated for compatibility.
What’s Causing the Software Trouble?
The iPhone 16 Plus runs on iOS 18, but that doesn’t mean it’s immune to bugs. Here’s what typically causes these problems:
- 📥 Buggy iOS updates or incomplete installs
- ⚙️ Incompatibility with older app data from iCloud backups
- 🧪 Using public beta versions of iOS
- 🔄 Background apps misbehaving or overloading the system
- 🧹 Cache and memory buildup from long-term use
- 📡 Corrupted network or location settings
Even something as simple as a failed app update can spiral into annoying performance issues.
DIY Fixes You Can Try (But Be Careful)
Before bringing your device in, you can try a few basic troubleshooting steps:
- Restart the device
- Check for iOS updates
- Reset network settings
- Uninstall problem apps
But don’t factory reset your phone unless you’ve backed everything up. A full reset won’t always fix the deeper issues — and you might lose your data in the process.
