Is your iPhone passcode screen greeting you unexpectedly after a mysterious overnight restart? Well, you're not the only one experiencing that.
Many iPhone users have encountered this perplexing situation, with the added twist that their battery level data indicates their phone powered down for a significant period.
Unusual iPhone Behavior
It's troubling to wake up to your iPhone demanding a passcode after an apparent overnight restart. For some users, like Zac Hall of 9to5Mac, this manifested as Face ID not functioning until the passcode was entered due to the restart. Although it's uncommon for the iPhone to resort to this soft crash, it's worth noting that everyone who will experience this will surely bat an eye.
Upon further investigation, a Reddit post suddenly emerged where an individual claimed his iPhone had shut off for several hours during the night.
According to the post, he checked his battery level history in the Settings app, and to his surprise, he observed a similar blip. At this time, he concluded that he was not the only one who was facing a similar issue with an iPhone.
After the commotion on Reddit, more users shared their experiences on the X platform.

Not Exclusive to iPhone 15
These occurrences aren't exclusive to users of the latest iPhone models. What unites those affected, for now, is the timing of the event - it all occurred overnight.
According to 9to5Mac, the author writes that the iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.0.3 since its release, had no battery charge optimizations enabled.
He said that he charged it using MagSafe and had encountered some minor system hangs, particularly after app updates. Other users noted similar occurrences with a range of iPhone models.
An Ongoing Mystery
The question on everyone's mind is whether the iPhone genuinely powered down for several hours before rebooting. At first, you might be skeptical as to why it is happening because you can't confirm the phone's activity at that time.
The next time you encounter this problem with your iPhone, you can go to the Settings of your smartphone, and then click Battery. After that, tap "Last 24 Hours" to check the battery level chart of your device.
