Q: My iPhone has displayed the white screen and logo for hours now

Howdy willd514,

If you were trying to reset your iPhone to factory settings you were following the directions on this page - How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups.

If this was not working, you will need to restore the iPhone using iTunes. See this article - Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best to you.
