First step is to try a forced reset (reboot). Short press Volume Up, then Volume Down, then press and hold the Side Button until the white Apple logo appears (usually 10-15 seconds). Release and let it reboot.


if this doesn’t solve the problem, or the white Apple fails to appear after a few attempts then your iPhone 16 is less than 1 year old and will still be in warranty coverage. https://getsupport.apple.com To arrange service.
