Restarting or rebooting is one of the things that iPhone users must do. Restart iPhone is not done when the handset lags , hangs, or errors. However, you also have to regularly restart the iPhone every day.
Why do we need to restart the iPhone? Isn’t the iPhone an expensive device that does minimal damage? The answer is that because the iPhone is a fairly expensive device, then you must maintain the iPhone by restarting it regularly.
By restarting the phone, you have helped to extend the life of the device because it will automatically refresh the system on it. In other words, a restart also acts the same as an existing refresh on the computer.
Benefits of restart iPhone
