iPhone has died (2 days old)

I have woken up to find my new iPhone 12 has died and will not be charged either through USB or the mains. It was on 49% when I went to sleep and it is now dead with 0 response to anything. It was working very well up till then, I don't use 5g as it isn't available and only really gets used for browsing, emails social media etc. Does anyone have any secret button pushes they know of :)


iPhone 12, iOS 14

I have a secret button push(es) technique that I would like you to try. Make sure that your iPhone is charged first to be turned on. Plug it into the charger for about an hour if you have not done so already and then:

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
