iPhone 16e not switching on

My mum received her 16e on Monday, switched it off and plugged it in to charge last night it was at 70% when plugged in. This morning it will not turn on. Any known issues?

Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:

In rapid sequence, press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).


If the issue still persists, bearing in mind that per Apple return policy you have 14 days (from the date of purchase) to return the device and ask for a full refund, I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
