You need to follow this precisely:


  • 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.


If this doesn’t work after a few tries your phone has a hardware problem. Contact Apple support to discuss repair options. You can click on the Support link at the top or bottom of this page.
