Okay so this morning my phone was working properly, I woke up, set another alarm, then went back to bed. When I woke up (late bc my alarm never went off) my phone was stuck on the spinning circle that appears when your phone dies. I figured it was dead and plugged it in. After a while it didn’t go away, so I force restarted it. This got rid of the circle, but now my phones stuck in a boot loop. I tried to force restart it multiple times, and it just goes back into the boot loop. I put it in recovery mode and connected it to my laptop but it just went back in the loop. It never came into contact with water or got damaged in any was as I was literally asleep. What do I do?
Was the phone connected to a charger when this happened? And if so, was it an original charger and Lightning cable? Low quality chargers are known to cause issues with the charge circuit in the phone. If that isn’t the case, while it could be a spontaneous failure, the problem may also be caused by a (or multiple) previous events, such as drops, poor quality car chargers and even some minor water ingress that goes unnoticed. If you want to continue with a DIY approach, I would open it up and take a quick look to see if there are any signs of water. You could also try a new battery but this kind of failure points more towards a logic board issue. Let us know what you find and we can help you with more detailed answers.
