This happened to me this morning and I thought that was weird. Then I saw this article on 9to5mac
The fuck??? I thought I had an update … it didn’t. Same thing here.
Mine did this too. Just checked battery graph after seeing this and it’s the same as the article, weird!
Yes! The same gap in the graph!
That’s odd. Didn’t happen to my 13 pro.
Never had this, but my phone does do updates on its own at night so occasionally I have to enter my passcode. Honestly I don’t really care as long as it doesn’t affect my alarms!
Your iPhone does automatic updates? That‘s weird…
I chatted with Apple support and they seemed to think the gap in the battery graph was normal if the screen was off?
I have suspicions that Focus modes also have some impact as to how the graph is displayed but haven’t confirmed it yet. The support rep seemed to think the passcode prompt was a coincidence as it’s something iPhone will prompt for after 6.5 days of not using a passcode.
I had an iPhone 15 plus that was showing a last status of “10 hours ago” in Find My. Once I called it, it immediately checked in and the battery graph on that phone showed a gap right up until the moment I called the phone.
Umm, no. Not normal.
The missing data on the graph is likely just a graphical glitch as a result of the crash.
iPhone crashes. Reboots. Data either not getting recorded or not being shown to the user due to the bug.
I doubt the phone stays off for any extended period of time, that’s a hard sell for me given it always shows the password screen. No one has yet to hold power to boot their device.
A crash makes sense actually, and for whatever reason it never crossed my mind but that would explain what we’re all seeing.
Wonder what could cause a crash on so many iPhones on the same night? 🤔
It’s unlikely this is always at night. Crashes that happen in the day are resolved almost instantly by the user and likely wouldn’t garner much online attention, so it also makes sense that the reports only skew towards those when people aren’t actively engaging with their devices.
The crash could be a myriad of things, who knows but Apple.
I had this, last night. My iPhone 13 Pro appeared to go off around 0100 and was still in „Sleep“ Focus in the morning (my Apple Watch, fortunately, woke me up).
The iPhone stubbornly thought it was still in „Sleep“ mode (including blanking the wallpaper off the Lock Screen) until I rebooted it at about 0900.
I wonder what will happen tonight?
(iOS 17.0.3, of course).
Not seeing this yet
- iPhone 13 Mini
- 17.0.3
- UK
Is it just 17.0.3? Second-gen SE running 17.0.2 and I do not have this problem.
Potentially. But I’m running a 15 pro max on 17.0.3 and I have not had this happen at all.
Potentially, yeah. I have an iPhone 8 Plus on 15.7 and it did not experience a power down or restart last night but my 15 Pro on 17.0.3 did.
My 14 Pro was still on 17.0.2 and had no issue either.
Didn’t happen to me on my iPhone 12 Max running the iOS 17 beta but did happen to my SO’s iPhone X running the latest, non-beta of iOS 17.
Had_ it last night— 2am on Oct. 11th— on my work iPhone SE2. On a wireless charger in Sleep Focus. My 14 Pro was fine both nights (Sleep focus, wired charging). Both on 17.0.3.
Wonder if Apple will make a statement as this seems to be super widespread. And it doesn’t seem like there’s any particular pattern for who it happens to.
It happened on my iPhone 13 mini with iOS 17.0
This is happening on my 14 Pro on iOS 16. I just thought it did an overnight restart to fix any memory issues. I only started noticing it a few weeks ago.
I can’t find my source for this memory, but I recall several years ago reading about Apple introducing automatic device resprings / restarts overnight. I think I still had my iPhone X at the time.
In my experience, it only happens while charging. I might have to cruise the old jailbreak subreddits to find whatever I think I’m remembering here.
Could be to save up on battery charging overnight but the passcode in the morning sucks plus what if someone tries to force a call to you (double call and such)?

Haven’t had this on my 13 yet, but thanks for the heads up.
