Zero Day vulnerability for both iOS devices and macOS browsers that use WebKit. At this point it will only cause a restart on your iOS device and a freeze on your macOS Safari or other WebKit Browser which will re-freeze on restarting the App due to the same webpage being retained and re-opened to get out of that, force quit and hold down the Shift Key on re-entering the App).PING! Thanks to The Battman for the heads up.

Unfortunately, the finder of this problem not only notified Apple of the issue he discovered, but ALSO decided to publish his code that will create the problem on Twitter. . . not a good move.

My son’s iphone keeps restarting over and over again.
Can this be fixed?
He’s convinced he needs a new phone.

Many parents have noticed that when new iPhones come out sometimes children will discover they need a new iPhone for a variety of reasons.

Apples have worms The same dodo Tweeted a ZeroDay on September 9th that crashes ChromeOS and Chrome browsers, and many people who tested it on other mobile Browsers, including Android, found it crashed and/or froze, them, even Brave. Only Safari successfully closed the tab that was frozen, but even that took some time to take.
His excuse for Tweeting it? Google wouldn't pay a bounty for it.

This one really is broken.
It shows the apple and then goes dark and shows the apple and goes dark, over and over and over.
Won’t do anything else.

Can this be fixed? Maybe. Do a full reinstall of the iOS. See if that solves the problem. If not, make an appointment with the closest Apple Store's Genius Bar and have them do a diagnostic on it. Sometimes they can fix it. . . or if it's a known problem, exchange it for a replacement.

I have been very pleased with the Brave browser for iPhone.
It’s much faster and has much more robust privacy features.
It was developed by the guy who developed Firfox browser, but who was then forced out of his own company by the Gaystopo.
I believe Google and a number of other companies are suing Brave because it totally short circuits their spying efforts.

Good thing I don’t know how to download anything to my phone or Mac.
Ever since you told me how to up my security years back my system has been blocked from any downloads.

This happened to my Samsung 7 one time when the battery drained.
Had to remove SIM card and the charge back up before reinstalling card.

Sure, buy him a nice replacement ... flip-phone.
Tell him he can have a new iphone when he pays for it with his own hard-earned money. Then, maybe he will take better care of it.
But then again, I’m a meanie. :P
