Hey was hoping someone in this forum might be able to help me power on my new phone

Hi Eze0505,

You can use the steps found here Turn iPhone on or off quoted below to power your iPhone on or off.

"Turn on iPhone

Press and hold the side button or Sleep/Wake button (depending on your model) until the Apple logo appears.

Turn off iPhone

• iPhone with Face ID: Simultaneously press and hold the side button and either volume button until the sliders appear, then drag the Power Off slider.
• iPhone with the Home button: Press and hold the side button or Sleep/Wake button (depending on your model), then drag the slider.
• 
• All models: Go to Settings  > General > Shut Down, then drag the slider."

Hope the information helps.

Cheers!
