How can I turn on my iPhone when it is off?

Published in iPhone Basics 2 mins read

To turn on your iPhone when it's completely off, press and hold the side button (or the top button on older models) until the Apple logo appears.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Locate the Power Button: The power button is typically located on the right side of your iPhone. On older models (like the iPhone 5s and earlier), it's on the top.

  • Press and Hold: Press and hold the power button firmly. Don't just tap it.

  • Wait for the Apple Logo: Continue holding the button down. After a few seconds, you should see the Apple logo appear on the screen.

  • Release the Button: Once you see the Apple logo, release the power button. Your iPhone will now start up.

  • Enter Passcode (if applicable): After the startup process completes, you may be prompted to enter your passcode or use Face ID/Touch ID to unlock your iPhone.

Troubleshooting:

  • iPhone doesn't turn on? If nothing happens when you press and hold the power button, your iPhone's battery might be completely drained. Plug it into a charger and let it charge for at least 15-30 minutes. Then, try turning it on again.

  • Still not working? If your iPhone still doesn't turn on after charging, there might be a hardware issue. You should contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service provider for assistance. It's possible the charging port is damaged or there's an internal problem.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully turn on your iPhone.
