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).

I have a 15 pro max and this screen is very unresponsive, sometimes when i press random buttons they just dont press, like right now i had to press ‘s’ four times just for the two to register in the word stress, what should i do? Try and get it replaced or fixed? Pls help, I thought I was the only one with this issue but clearly I’m not. It’s a pretty small thing but very annoying and not good at all considering i’ve had this phone for like a week and a half. Btw this goes for basically all apps but any keyboard is the most noticable

Axel thank u so much, thank God I came on the web to find a solution to my problem. I woke up after leaving my screen on and phone charging to a black screen, touching, Siri working but no screen light. I came online and saw this post so I did as u said and the screen came on. I hope apple fixes these bugs because it’s not looking good for them. I have a brand new iPhone 15 pro max.

I just got my phone iPhone 15 at T-Mobile last week and was doing the same thing right out the box I said hey look I can’t use the phone it’s getting super hot it’s lighing up I don’t know what it is

I’m really mad and you know I have to get back down there. I got a broken leg so I gotta push somebody to give me a ride. Hopefully it’ll be in time, but you might do the same thing constantly shut down shut off apple should be ashamed of themselves
