iPhone 6 won't turn on!!!

I just bought my iPhone 6 today. I put it on charger and it was charging the whole time when it suddenly turned off and won't turn back on. What should I do? How did this happen?

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Mind just did the same! Thanks for the advice eventually got it back on........ I am convinced that Apple build in self destruct into the software of older phones, mine is coming up to 3 years old and is in perfect condition.

This worked when nothing else did, thank you (I have an iPhone 6)! Just plug phone in to your computer via your USB charger cord, launch iTunes (it probably won't recognize your phone), then hold both Power button and the Home (big circle at bottom) button together for 15ish seconds. iTunes then recognized the phone and started "Recovery" mode.


First time this happened...wondering if it's hardware or the iOS?

I read by someone on here that holding the home and lock button down at the same time for 20 seconds or so will restart the phone. It worked for me! When I did that it took me to the white screen with the black apple in the center, and it restarted from there. I recommend that. Nothing worked for me before, like I even was able to make a phone call (while still having a completely black screen) because I held down the home button for Siri, which was late responding anyway, I'm sure due to whatever this technical difficulty was. I had plugged it in a charger and plugged it into my macbook. Nothing worked before that.
