iPhone 16 Pro keeps restarting or stops at the Apple logo?
A phone that restarts after reaching the lock screen needs different checks from one that never finishes starting. We assess the pattern on your iPhone 16 Pro before recommending repair or a data recovery route.
The fixed £35 diagnostic covers the assessment described below and both-way UK tracked shipping. If you approve the repair quote, the fee is deducted from that quote. No repair work starts without your approval.
Model-specific context
The timing of each restart is useful evidence
Record whether your iPhone 16 Pro restarts on battery power, with a USB-C cable attached, or only when using a particular function. If it briefly opens Settings, any existing diagnostic logs can help the assessment. Do not erase the device to obtain them. A regular restart interval is a clue, not proof of a specific sensor or chip failure.
For the wider fault pattern, read the iPhone boot-loop diagnosis. If the files matter more than returning the device to daily use, read about data recovery and select Data recovery when booking.
The symptom
Which restart pattern matches your device?
Tell us how far the phone gets before it starts again:
- The Apple logo appears repeatedly without reaching the lock screen
- The phone starts normally, then restarts after a similar interval
- Restarting began after an update, liquid exposure or another repair
What the diagnostic checks
What we check on your iPhone 16 Pro.
- Observe the boot sequence and review available diagnostic information
- Check stable battery power and the relevant connected assemblies
- Investigate board faults where the history and measured behaviour support that route
We’ll explain what we find in writing and quote for the work we can offer. Your options depend on the device’s condition, our test results and the parts available.
Before you post it
Protect the device and the data while deciding.
- Record an approximate restart interval or a short video on another device
- Describe recent updates and repairs, including any parts replaced
- Avoid an erase or restore if the device contains unbacked-up files

Tell us what’s happening with your iPhone 16 Pro. We’ll assess it at our Tyneside lab for £35 and explain your options before you decide on repair.
A restore is not a guaranteed repair
Software and hardware problems can share the same visible restart pattern. The assessment sets out what can be established and whether further work is viable. Tell us at booking if preserving local files is your priority.
Common questions
iPhone 16 Pro boot loop FAQ
Is a regular restart interval proof of one failed sensor?
No. The interval can guide the investigation, but logs, connections and power behaviour need to agree before a repair is proposed.
Can you assess a phone that started looping after a screen repair?
Yes. Send the repair history and explain whether the symptom existed before the work. We can consider connector and assembly problems as well as board faults.
Will restoring iOS keep my local files?
An erase or restore can remove local data. If you lack a backup, stop before that step and explain the data priority when arranging the assessment.
