With 1.5 BILLION iPhones in use I am sure that this problem has happened to other users. How does knowing that help you?


As a troubleshooting start try a forced restart:

  • Press and quickly release Volume Up
  • Press and quickly release Volume Down
  • Hold the SIDE button until you see an Apple logo.
