Why is my iPhone 16 Pro Max not working correctly after the last iOS26.1 update? Looks like I’m not the only one experiencing this issue. Screen turns black and apps that use the camera also don’t work and turns black?
Why isn’t Apple addressing this?!?!

Tried them all. I paid alot of money for my phone and for Apple to do this to me is awful. I have seen many posts and replies to the same issue and I see they’re back to the same issue as I am.
I have for force restart shutdown exit out of every single time and am now doing it everyday.
Don't know why it would affect some and not others as a device/OS combo would be seen by all using the same and that is not true. What did Apple say when you contacted them?

While I have not had that issue with the update, those that did have had success in resolving it with those methods. If they do not work for you, then contact Apple directly where they can perform remote diagnostics or schedule an appointment with Apple.
