Why did my iPhone 14 screen go black?

• Press and quickly release VOLUME UP

     then

• Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN

     then

• Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears

The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky.

I fixed the problem by charging it an extra 30 minutes and then holding the buttons for the fix.

I didn’t understand the volume up and down and all around stuff so I just powered off and back on, and my original pic was back on my Home Screen.

Press Vol UP 1 time

Then volume DOWN 1 time

Then press and HOLD power

this worked on iPhone 14 Pro

I’ve had black screen of death intermittently after powering for 6 months and IOS 16.6 didn’t help.

You are a lifesaver.

One would think that Apple would have been proactive & sorted this out. It’s not like the iPhone is a cheap rip off, we all paid a small fortune 🤷‍♂️

omg you saved my life!! lol about had a mini melt down too

This morning the black screen problem happened to my iPhone 14 pro. I am so disgusted that Apple still hasn’t fixed the issue after 2 years since.

I unplugged my iPhone 14 pro this morning After charging all night and had the black screen of death. Watched a you tube video on quick fix and that solved my problem. Clicked the on button then the off button quickly ( one at a time) then held down the power button on right side of phone for about 40 seconds and my phone turned back on. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. But the reset steps did not fix it for me. I had to turn in my brand new phone for repair after less than 6 weeks of use. It's now been 1 week and they say they are waiting for parts to repair the phone. So, in my case at least this seems to be a hardware issue?

I owned my iPhone 14 Pro for around 2 weeks when the screen started randomly blacking out while I was in the middle of using it. Initially it did it mostly when I was reading something in landscape mode, then it was truly random. Usually, all it took to get my screen responsive again was pressing the sleep button twice slowly. As such, I didn't think this was the BSOD problem, though I couldn't find any other search results online that mentioned the screen going black temporarily.

Yesterday, for the first time, the screen went black and was unresponsive (it wouldn't come back after pressing the sleep button 2 times slowly). I tried the trick many people mentioned for a forced restart (up volume, down volume, hold the sleep button) and it didn't work (I held the sleep button pressed for a while and nothing happened). After about 15 minutes, the screen became responsive again. I immediately did a backup.

Today, I went to Best Buy to get the phone exchanged (I was still within the exchange period). The phone started acting up again while I was there. Thankfully it was on long enough for me to turn off Find My iPhone and for the salesperson to get my IMEI ID off the phone before it became unresponsive for good! They had a Geek Squad person try to do a force restart but he wasn't successful. We kept at it during the whole exchange process (I was there for more than an hour) but it never came back on. FWIW, I had the latest iOS installed (16.1.2 at the time) and there was plenty of storage space available.

Hopefully the glitch was with the first phone and the 2nd won't have this issue. I was lucky in many ways with this one since I was still within the exchange period and my local Best Buy still had a few iPhone 14 Pro's in stock (my local Verizon store has been out of stock for a while).

This just happened on my 14 Pro also. I slept in 1.5 hrs this morning because my alarm didn't go off. I've had the phone two months and Apple says there isn't anything wrong with it....I seriously had to go buy a basic alarm clock for a backup in case this happens again.

Seems like it would have gone off, yes. If it happens again, try my fix. If that doesn’t work, do the force reset, described in other replies. When my screen is black, on the charger, in the morning, the Siri fix works for me.

Happened to me this morning. iPhone 14 pro max. Wireless charged all night, woke up to a locked phone with a black screen. Pressed the volume up, then down, then held the power button until it reset and started. Not a great sign for a brand new $1000 plus phone!
