Tech support agents never do nothing to give us a real fix. All they know is the reset mantra that never sorts out things.

I’m having issues with Spoken content and the Siri neural engine text to speech in my iPhone 11 after reinstalling iOS 18, I spoke with 3 agents and absolutely none of them were willing to help me. I speak Spanish as my native language and the voices that i’m having issues with are in Spanish, so the agent told me that nobody from the accessibility support speak Spanish, so he refuced to continue helping me.

If there are millions of iPhones around the world, I’m sure that a vast majority of them are having an issue, doesn’t matter if it’s hardware or software, and Apple never does nothing to correct them unfortunately

You last sentence is a guess at best and at worst, not a good one. Please don't make claims you can't backup with any tangible evidence. Sure, you may be having an issue, but that doesn't mean the vast majority of users are also have an issue. I've had no issues on either our 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max. I know several people with 16 Pro models and none of them are having issues.

I bought an iPhone 16 pro 4 days ago. This morning the screen in black. I tried all that support said to do and it still will not come on. All is updated. Is this a lemon phone. Will it be replaced for free????

Same here. I bought an iPhone 16 Pro 256GB off the Apple Website on Nov 28, 2024. This morning Dec 11, it would not power up after charging all night. As I placed it on the wireless charger last night I turned it off while charging because I did not want it on all night. In the morning it would not power up.. I placed it again on the wireless charger and it would not turn on. I tried all the power up sequences with the volume control key plays ..but no luck. I left it with the USB cable and charger plugged in and decided to enter my story on this discussion board ..but two factor identification was needed. For some reason or other when I made the two factor identification request the iPhone suddenly came to life displaying my two factor identification number. I am almost afraid to power it down again.

Same🤔 my iPhone 16 Pro Max turned itself off and it took almost an hour to get it to turn back on. Quick up volume and quick down button then hold right button for several minutes. So alarming. Too expensive and no bug fix to my knowledge! 🤯😤😡🤬

I am using an iPhone 16 Pro. I recently turned it off, and when I tried turning it back on, it initially wouldn't power on. After some effort, I managed to get it working. However, today (14-Dec-2024), my phone is not turning on at all.

Additionally, I am experiencing issues with my Apple Watch Ultra. Incoming calls are not functioning properly, and callers are informed that my number is not responding.

I have been an iPhone user since the iPhone 4, but this year, I feel that Apple's quality standards have declined.

Please help me. I’ve tried everything. Yes, I did have it plugged in when I turned it off last night. I don’t think it was fully charged when I turned it off. Have only had it for a week. So glad I held on to the 13 max pro I told my dad I would give him. What about people who do not have Mac computers or computers at all?

My phone also not turning on 5 times happened since I received delivery from apple 26/11/24 also apple support not good I always buy every year new phone. This morning also happened I was on phone with apple support but after 45 minutes phone cut off .

Apple itself recommends Turning your phone off at night and restarting in AM as a way to get rid of any programs meant to take over your phone.

No, Apple does NOT recommend turning your phone off at night and restarting in the AM. Apple has NEVER made such a recommendation. EVER. Apple designed iPhone to be charged at night, ALL NIGHT, with Wifi on, so it will backup at night, every night. This is one reason why they made Optimized Charging an option, which is highly recommended. If someone told you Apple recommends what you suggest, they were flatly wrong.

Please post where Apple has ever made such a recommendation. Hint: You won't find one published by Apple anywhere. Feel free to go through all of these documents from Apple which speak to when to charge your phone and note that Apple NEVER suggests powering your phone down at night:

Same thing just happened to me today - the iPhone 16 PRO won't switch on no matter how long I keep the right button pressed - The battery was probably around 80% when it happened - Anyone at APPLE can pick this up? Thank God I had a space old iPhone 12 Pro in my bag which I am now using but this is extremely disappointing for a device worth 1,500 USD!

I had the same thing happen to my 16 pro max over night and I cannot get it to come back on at all. I have tried the forced restart and I'm getting nothing at all from it. I'm using the charging cord provided with my phone and it's still not turning back on at all. I've plugged it into my macbook to see if it would recognize it and nothing at all.

Has Apple support replied to anyone at all on this issue?

I tried that and it didn't work. I think my phone has decided it no longer wishes to be a phone and instead is now a brick. I have an appointment at the genius bar in a little bit. Hopefully, they'll replace it because at this point, I don't think it will ever have life again.

I had the same problem with my iPhone 16 today. I shut it off last night and left it plugged into the charger cable. Would not turn on this morning. I did the volume up and volume down buttons and power button combo numerous times. It finally came on after about 20 minutes of trying. I purchased the phone two weeks ago and I upgraded to iOS 18.2 a couple of nights ago. Can someone at Apple let us know if this is a hardware or software issue? In the meantime, I'm never going to shut this phone off.

My reference was in context to his post. I’m sorry. I could have been more specific. His comment was it was off, charging, difficult to startup again. In the context, shutting off the device while charging, may cause difficulty turning the device on.

Again, my apologies for any confusion my post caused.

Mine didn’t auto update either and I manually did it. I was hoping it resolved the powering on issue and for about 10 days it did. Now two days in a row, same problem and didn’t power on. Took me 15 minutes today to finally get it on. So sick of this.

Mine does it and I don’t even turn it off or let it die. That is not the issue, you turning it off. My phone will be fully charged and unplugged and on when I go to sleep and wake up to a brick. When I finally get it to turn on? Still fully charged. I can’t stand apple for the things wrong with this phone. Do you have spotty touch screen issues too?
