Whether you’re rocking the latest iPhone model or an older version, this method is compatible with most iPhone models and iOS versions. Let’s dive in! 😊
Locate the Power Button:
Find the power button on your iPhone. Most models have it on the right side, but older models like the iPhone SE or iPhone 5s have it on the top-right corner.
Press and Hold the Power Button:
Press and hold the power button until the “Slide to Power Off” slider appears on the screen. Keep holding the button until you see this slider.
Slide to Power Off:
Swipe the slider from left to right to power off your iPhone. This initiates the shutdown process.
Wait for the iPhone to Turn Off:
Wait a few seconds as your iPhone shuts down completely. The screen will go blank, indicating that the device is powered off.
Press and Hold the Power Button Again:
After your iPhone has powered off, press and hold the power button again. Keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the screen. This indicates that your iPhone is rebooting.
