Device frozen or unresponsive

Dear Apple Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to seek assistance with an issue I've encountered with my recently purchased iPhone 14. I bought the device in Canada and later returned to Morocco. Unfortunately, after approximately two months of use, the phone has become unresponsive and frozen.

While I can receive calls and messages, the touchscreen functionality is completely non-operational. I visited an Apple Authorized Service Center in Morocco. However, they requested the original receipt of purchase for the iPhone 14, which I am currently unable to provide.


Thank you in advance for your attention and support. I eagerly await your guidance on how to proceed in resolving this matter.

Best regards.

iPhone 14

Try a forced restart:


  • 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.
