Unresponsive iPhone 13

My iPhone 13 is frozen. I tried pressing the volume up button, then pressing the volume down button, then the side button and it still doesn’t work. Any further suggestions?

Let's make sure that you are trying the Forced Restart correctly.


Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. (Hint.....ignore the "slider" when it appears and keep holding the Side button in until the Apple logo appears. This might take another 15-20 seconds.)

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


1) The phone returns to normal operation. If it doesn't, then.....


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.


You can find a list of authorized service shops in your area using the link just below:
