Please perform a Forced Restart. This will always perform correctly if this is a software bug.


  • Press and quickly release the Volume Up Button
  • Press and quickly release the Volume Down Button
  • Press and hold the Side Button until you see the Apple Logo

Here's what to do if the issue still persists. If you purchased it within 14 days ago from Apple, return and exchange it for a new unit. If you are out of the return period, you are still within the 1 year limited Manufacturers Warranty, which covers any defects. If you take it to Apple and they determine there is a present defect that occurred in manufacturing, they will either repair it at no cost or offer you a new unit if its irreparable.
