What Should I do If iPhone wont Turn on Stuck on Apple Logo?

I'm in desperate need of assistance, the problem is that my iPhone won't turn on and seems to be perpetually stuck on the Apple logo screen. It's been like this for a while now,

I've already attempted force restarting the iPhone, connecting it to a power source, and even connecting it to my computer, but nothing seems to work.

I am truly at a loss as to what should be my next course of action, I need your any advice or suggestions, thanks.

iPhone 15

I've faced a similar situation in the past. After researching extensively online, here are two methods I tried.

U can try the methods below to see if they help!


1: Force Restart  iPhone:  - (For iPhone X and later ):

     - Quickly press and release volume up, then volume down.

     - Hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.

     - Release and wait for the restart to complete.

     - Check if the screen responds.


2: Updated with iTunes

   - Connect iPhone to a PC or Mac.

   - Press volume up, then volume down, and hold the side button longer.

   - Release buttons when the support interface displays.

   - Choose "Update" in iTunes to preserve data.

   - Wait for the process to finish.


if either of these methods can't help, check out this article, they have additional methods and a full guide tutorial: Fix iPhone Stuck On Apple Logo iPhone 15 Setup [5 Practical Methods]

You can put the iPhone in recovery mode.Connect the iPhone to a computer that has the latest version of iTunes. While the phone is connected to the computer, force restart it by holding down the "Power" button and "Home" button together for about 10-15 seconds. Keep holding both buttons until the recovery mode screen comes up on the iPhone. Follow the instructions provided by iTunes on your computer to restore the device.
