Why does my iPhone 15 keep restarting and occasionally entering recovery mode?

My iPhone 15 has been shutting down and restarting by itself. It started a few months ago as an occasional issue, but now it happens several times a day, sometimes repeatedly within a short period. On a few occasions, the phone has also opened the recovery screen, although it reports no specific problem. Battery health appears normal, and I couldn't find any "panic-full" entries in the Analytics Data. What should I check next, and is this something that needs professional repair?

Start by checking Battery Health, since a worn battery can cause unexpected shutdowns even when the phone otherwise seems fine. If the maximum capacity is significantly below 80%, battery service may solve the problem. Also search Analytics Data for files containing โ€œpanic-full,โ€ which can point to a hardware sensor or component causing the restarts. Since your battery health looks normal and you arenโ€™t seeing panic reports, the next practical step is having Apple or an authorized repair provider run a hardware diagnostic, especially if the phone is still covered by warranty or device protection.
