My phone switched off accidentally and won't switch back on

Hi, my phone just switched off and won't connect, I seem to have tried all the methods, when I leave it charging it sometimes shows that it is charging but then disappears and shows no sign

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

  • Press and quickly release VOLUME UP


     then

  • Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN


     then

  • Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears


The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
