Why won’t my iPhone 12 allow me to even turn on the wifi? Why does it just stay grey shaded?

(1) 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). 


(3)  If that does not help your iPhone is still under Apple's 1YR Limited Warranty. Take advantage of it and have it examined at the Apple Store or at an Authorized Service Center for further diagnosis and resolution.
