My wife’s iPhone 16 Pro is not turning on. Several times I have had to push the top volume, bottom volume and then hold the right power button until the Apple came on. And it took much longer than 10 seconds and instead of it coming on by itself, the Apple would show only after I held and released the power button. Did she get a lemon or are others having this problem? She gets a new phone every year so this is not an operator error.

This happened again to my wife's iPhone 16 Pro. She could never get it to start. I tried 3 or 4 times with the force restart and it again would not start. I then plugged it in as a last resort, did the force restart a few time and finally it started. The battery was at 100%. It took quite a long time holding the start button after the volume up and down buttons for it to finally start. I will do a force restart on my iPhone occasionally and it never takes that long. She has had almost every iPhone since the 3G, so this is definitely not operator error.
I am responding here in hopes that it gets pushed to the top of iPhone questions in hopes that others may either respond that they too are having this issue and what the resolution is.
Thanks for the link to product feedback.
This doesn't work. I had tried this before making a comment on this forum.
This is terrible. My iphone 16 pro will not turn on and we are having a snow day here so it's hard to get to the apple store. Nothing is working when I try to turn it on. It's fully charged also.
So the forced reset that everyone is talking about; is it up, down, and on simultaneously or in a row.?
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video link! Finally got mine up and running again after watching the video. Will bookmark him.
just had this and i force restart it and it is good to go
Has anyone had any luck with getting Apple's Genius bar to give you a new 16 when yours has this issue and you have apple care+?
Where is the video and link? I am so upset.
Plug it in or hold the power button
Did not work for mine.

I have this problem and I set up my phone using side-by-side method.
Do you have a magic fix for the touch screen on the iPhone 16 pro max then?

My post was not directed at you. It was in response to the comment posted by psinop. You can see that in the small text beneath his name.
I understand, but you said literally every post you’ve seen everyone is powering off their phone while charging while that is clearly not the case for the majority of people in the replies.
