- Power On:
- Press and hold the power button until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. This usually takes a few seconds.
- Force Restart (if needed):
- If your iPhone is unresponsive, you can perform a force restart instead:
- For iPhone 8 and later: Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears.
- For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: Press and hold both the Volume Down button and the Side (or Power) button until the Apple logo appears.
- For iPhone 6s and earlier: Press and hold both the Home button and the Top (or Side) button until you see the Apple logo.

- Charge Your iPhone (if necessary):
- If your iPhone does not turn on, it may be completely out of battery. Connect it to a power source using the Lightning cable and let it charge for a few minutes before trying to power it on again.
After following these steps, your iPhone should start up normally. If you continue to experience issues, you may consider contacting Apple Support for further assistance.
