I. Why does iPhone 14 Pro restart while charging?

There could be several reasons why your iPhone might be restarting while charging. Let’s explore some of the top ones.

• There could be a bug or temporary glitch in your iOS system.
• Your phone might be in a hot room, and the iPhone could be restarting to cool down its temperature.

II. How to fix the 'iPhone 14 Pro restarts while charging' issue?

Now that you know the causes of the problem, it’s time to talk about the possible fixes for it. We have ranked each fix from basic to advanced, so you must try these in a straight order.

Method 1. First things first, force restart your iPhone

We know, force restarting may not seem like a solid solution to a restarting issue, but it is.

You see, regular restarts and force restarts are different. Force restarting cleans up all the cached files and temporary data stored on your iPhone. Doing this might help fix many kinds of issues, and the random restart issue is one of them.

That said, here’s how to force restart your new iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max:

• Press and release the volume up button.
• Press and release the volume down button.
• Press and hold the side button until your phone turns off and you see the Apple logo.

Method 2. Move your iPhone 14 Pro to a cooler location

One of the major reasons your iPhone might be restarting is that it’s getting hotter than it should.

When your iPhone gets too hot, it might shut down, restart, or become unusable for a period before you can use it again. It does that to prevent itself from heating too much. Simply put, it’s a safety feature.

Luckily, there’s a simple fix to this problem: move to somewhere cooler.

If it’s in a non-conditioned room, move it somewhere else. If AC is not available, put it somewhere under a fan where it has proper airflow. Don’t put it on the charger under natural light.

After you’ve moved it to a cooler environment and it still keeps restarting, touch the phone and notice its temperature. If it’s hot, it means overheating is the problem. If it’s not hot but still restarts, proceed to the next solution.

Method 3. Update your iPhone to the latest iOS version

Apple has already released an update (iOS 16.0.2) which fixes many issues on the 14 series. Furthermore, Apple is also working on another update (iOS 16.0.3) which will fix even more bugs. So, you should always check for the latest updates to avail yourself of the latest fixes released by Apple.

If you haven’t updated already, you should do it right away.

Here’s how you can update.

• Open the Settings app.
• Go to General > Software Update.
• Wait for it to check for an update.

• If there’s an available update, download and install it right away.

  

Again, you should check for updates at least after a few days to see if there’s a new update available. If there is, install it.

Method 4. Use Tenorshare ReiBoot to solve the problem
