iPhone 13 pro max not turning on after charging all night

I have had this phone for over three years and have had a similar issues a few times before but nothing is working this time around. I have tried the reset, let it charge on a different charger for an hour, plugged it into my laptop and nothing has happened. really not wanting to have to take it in somewhere, i dont think we even have an apple store locally. any suggestions?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 26

You may not have an Apple Store locally, but chances are pretty good that you have an authorized Apple service shop in your area......which is likely much closer than an Apple Store. An authorized shop has all the tools that they need to check and perform service on your phone when needed.


You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link:


Find Locations


Normally, we would ask you to check the Battery Health on your phone, but if the phone will not turn on at all, then things are going to remain stuck until you can take the phone in so a tech can run diagnostics on the phone.


After 3 years, it would be normal to expect that the battery would need to be replaced, but there may be other issues as well. A new battery will run about $100 (U.S.). Hopefully, that will take care of things.


Good luck.

If your iPhone won't turn on, and you've tried different chargers without success, connected to a laptop without a connection, then the last resort is to take it to a specialist who can fix it.


You write that you've tried different chargers - have you also tried different cables?


You write that you've done a reset, how can you do that if you can't get the phone to life?


Have you tried a Forced Restart? If not, do the following (maybe let your phone charge while you do this)


1. Quickly press Volume Up, release.

2. Quickly press Volume Down, release.

3. Press and hold the Power Button. Hold the button until the phone restarts, and release when you see (if you see) the Apple logo.
