iPhone 17 Pro Max Does anyone else get random resprings on their 17 Pro / Pro Max?

Kind of random but ever since I’ve gotten it my silver 17 Pro Max has resprings every now and then where the screen will go black and you’ll see a small spinning wheel before going back to the lock screen a second or two later. They’re rare but random with no set pattern of when I use a XYZ app then it happens.

This issue didn’t happen when I had a different colored 17 Pro Max (which was returned). I’ve tried wiping my device back to factory settings and starting over but it’s still happened. Wondering if it’s a hardware issue with my particular device or if anyone else with the 17 Pro Max has had this issue? 🤔

P.S. they would have once every day or two and I started keeping a note for when they happen so I can reference it to Apple if needed, but the last 3 times it happened was on 12/12, then 12/13, then 12/15 but hasn’t happened since. I’m sure it will come up again at some point and I’ll continue to document it in the note.

In case anyone doesn’t know what a respring looks like, here’s a video that shows it at the 18 second mark:

Would be interesting to see a log from Settings > Privacy > Analytics > Analytics Data. Find logs that correspond to when it happened, they should contain the name of the app that crashed, Springboard in this case.

Thank you for your reply. That helps a lot 🙂

I reset my phone back to factory settings on 11-20 in an effort to try and fix the issue, so all the previous resprings won’t show, but since then I can see the following “SpringBoard” entries:

I tried looking through each one to see if I spotted an offending app, but all I see is an ocean of computer code and can’t tell 😕

Do you know if resprings are simply software? Or could they actually be a hardware issue?

I’m seeing the exact same issue as you. Usually happens when opening an app, although I can’t seem to narrow it down further.

Yes, I'm experiencing the same issue. It happens every few days seemingly at random. It only happens when an app is open; never when it's just idling on a home screen. I also have a silver 17 Pro Max. 512GB. This is not something I recall ever happening on any of my previous iPhones. I've had apps crash in the past, of course, but never like this with the screen going black followed by the spinning icon and going to the lock screen. I hope this is something they can fix in a future software update.
