iPhone Apple Logo Blinking

my phone is blinking the apple logo every 5 seconds and I can't seem to get it working

Boot error

My phone X turned off while I was using it and now the screen is black and its blinking the apple logo every 5 seconds. I have tried a hard reboot numerous times but it is not working. How do I fix this.

Axel Foley already provided those additional options. Read and follow his item 3 above.

I have a similar issue. My phone randomly shut off, and started flashing the apple logo when I attempted to turn it back on. It still won't go past flashing the logo.

Hi, I have had this issue about yesterday night, the phone wasnt responding as soon as the battery ended and the phone shutdown i tried to charge the phone then waited for hours still couldnt figure out whats going to be the solution. Today, I went to the local repair shop where the phone was diagnosed with the "Display panel's ribbon" which was damaged by the short circuit due to the water damage (which happened 2-3 months ago) or may be the phone fell down on the cemented floor earlier in this month, but the repair shop guy repaired it in like 20-25mins and yet its running smoothly again Alhumdulillah! Try getting your phone diagnosed by the repair shop. I hope it will work again!

Hey everyone,

I just had this problem with my iPhone 11. The solution is to connect your phone via cable to your iMac or Mac mini ( I have M1 Version). Once connected the iMac will update your phone for you. If you don't need to update then your phone needs to be restored to factory. The iMac will do that if needed.

If you restore your phone to factory is everything on it lost?

My brand new iPhone 15 has a black screen & the white Apple logo just keeps flashing on & off

(1) 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). 

(2)  If the above does not work then - Follow the instructions in this article by Apple ➔ If your iPhone is Non-Responsive or Frozen and see if that helps.

(3)  If that does not help, then contact 👉 Official Apple Support OR you can always get your iPhone examined at the Apple Store 👉 Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options or at an Authorized Service Center for further diagnosis and evaluation.

There is a reason for those types of responses. You can only address software issues here. Possible hardware issues cannot be confirmed unless a tech examines the device physically. I refer to the troubleshooting guides because they are written accurately and easy to follow. If the guides do not help, then contacting Apple Support is recommended.

Question: How would you respond to the issue listed by the poster above?

Don't bother asking Apple Online Support for help..they'll just refer you to Troubleshooting pages (same instructions as Axel's). If you have fallowed all the steps, they will try to divert you to nearby stores for the appointment.

update!! turns out the waterproofing on my phone is gone because of a screen replacement, so it wasn’t turning on from water damage. if you’re struggling with this i’d recommend putting your phone in rice for a few hours, that worked for me!

Recharge after letting it die (out of juice) might help.
