What Is a Panic Log?

A panic log records critical hardware or system failures that force an iPhone to restart. These logs often include details about the crash cause, timestamps, and error codes, helping identify the faulty component without opening the device.

Why It Causes Random Restarts

When the system detects a hardware fault, it triggers a restart to prevent damage. This creates a loop, often restarting within 3 minutes repeatedly, until the underlying issue is fixed.

How Technicians Can Read Panic Logs

• Locate the panic-full log in the device logs.
• Identify key sections such as panicString and timestamp.
• Check for panic codes indicating hardware faults.
• Use the BIM Panic Analyzer to upload the log for instant insights and fault pinpointing.

Reading panic logs correctly helps technicians diagnose and fix iPhone issues faster and more accurately without unnecessary disassembly.
