Summary
Apple said a software update is coming within days for iPhone 18 Pro models hit by freezes, blank screens and hard restarts tied to “panic-full” crash logs.
The bug appears during routine use, especially when users unlock the phone or authenticate with Face ID, reinforcing Apple’s view that the problem sits in software rather than hardware.
Apple Korea told the office of lawmaker Kim Jang-gyeom that it is investigating the root cause, while customers stuck in severe reboot loops are being sent to Apple Care for hardware checks.
The issue has spread across user forums just after launch, echoing early stability problems on the iPhone 16 series that Apple later resolved through follow-up iOS releases.
