iPhone 13 not turning on

Last night I went to bed and my phone was working normally and when I woke up the phone was turned off and even when I held the power button it still wouldn’t turn on.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Force-restart your phone:


  • 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 done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
