You can either press and hold the top button or disconnect and reconnect the battery.

Here's the simplest approach when it comes to shut down the Apple Vision Pro:


  • Press and hold the Digital Crown and top button together until the Power Off slider appears. Now look at the slider and swipe the slider to the right by performing a pinch gesture
  • Go to Settings > General > Shut Down. Now look at the Power Off slider icon and drag it to the right followed by a pinch gesture. 
  • Finally, command Siri to power off your Apple Vision Pro. 


To restart the same:

  • Press and hold the top button on your Apple Vision Pro for a few seconds. As an Apple logo appears on the screen, let the buttons go. Your Vision Pro will turn on in a bit. 
  • If you ended up disconnecting your Apple Vision Pro from the power, put it back to charge. Wait for a while until it has enough battery to respond. Your Vision Pro will turn on automatically.

Thank you, that did work. The problem was I was not waiting long enough after shut down before trying to power it back up. Hopefully in the future Apple will put a “Restart” option there.


Not that I think it should be necessary to restart on a regular basis, but I’ve had to do it a few times.

Once before I learned how to force-quit an app, and another time while testing out a non-working Accessibility feature and I wanted to know if restarting the device might help (it didn’t).


Thanks again!
