How to fix iphone 14 when screen is frozen and the side buttons do not respond?

I tried holding the side button for over 30 seconds multiple times. I tried quickly pressing up volume, down volume, and holding side button. Nothing works.

If you can't perform a force restart for some reason, you may need to take it into an Apple store

This happened to my wife’s phone today.


Fully charged, but wouldn't wake up. Force Restart and pressing and holding buttons didn't work—at first.


She waited a couple of hours and then held the side (sleep/wake) button for over a minute until the Apple logo appeared.


Your Mileage May Vary, but I hope it helps.
