My phone screen wont work after it shut down from a dead batter

I have an iphone 15, and a few minutes earlier my phone’s batter died while i was on call with my mom, when i went to charge it, the phone screen wouldnt let me swipe up or even left and right, so i removed the screen protector and phone case then cleaned the screen’s surface, still wouldnt budge. What should i do?

iPhone 15, iOS 17

Allowing the battery to deplete can seriously damage the battery.


Perform a Forced Restart on the phone. Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. You may need to repeat this several times.

There are only 2 possible results when you perform a Forced Restart:


1) The phone returns to normal operation


However, if the phone is still frozen.......


2) There is a hardware problem with the phone that will need attention at the Apple Store (make an appointment) or take the phone to an authorized Apple Service shop.
