With its sleek design, powerful performance, and innovative features, the iPhone 14 is the perfect device for staying connected, entertained, and productive all day long. But before you can start enjoying everything your new iPhone has to offer, you need to know how to turn it on.
In this quick and easy guide, we’ll walk you through the steps of turning on your iPhone 14, whether it’s brand new or you’re just restarting it. We’ll also cover some troubleshooting tips in case you have any problems.
So let’s get started and power up your iPhone 14!
How to Turn On Your iPhone 14
To turn on your iPhone 14, simply press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo. The side button is located on the right side of the iPhone, below the volume buttons.
If your iPhone is brand new, you’ll go through a setup process after it turns on. This process will help you set up your Apple ID, iCloud, and other features.
How to Turn Off Your iPhone 14
Apple adds new users to its ecosystem with each new iPhone. While existing iPhone users frequently upgrade to a newer model, users migrating from Android to iOS are also common. The operating systems are very different, and even simple tasks like turning off an iPhone can be difficult for users who are unfamiliar with how iOS works. Furthermore, many iPhone users may be unaware that they can force restart the device if it becomes stuck.
Unlike most Android smartphones, an iPhone cannot be turned off by pressing the side button. This also applies to the iPhone 14. To turn off an iPhone 14, press and hold the side button while also pressing the volume up or volume down buttons until the ‘Power Off’ slider appears on the screen. To turn it off, move the slider.
The procedure is the same for all iPhone 14 series devices, including the standard iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. There is another way to turn off an iPhone that does not involve using buttons. Open the Settings app, then select ‘General’ and then ‘Shut Down.’ These methods will only work if the iPhone’s display is properly responding.
Force Restart Your iPhone 14
Many problems caused by underlying bugs or other glitches can be resolved by restarting a device. Unfortunately, Apple does not provide a dedicated restart option for the iPhone. Users must instead turn off the iPhone and then restart it by pressing and holding the side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
However, if the iPhone freezes due to a lack of memory, poor battery health, or other software/hardware issues, you can force restart it. This is also known as a hard reset, but it differs from a factory reset in that it does not erase the iPhone’s data.
To force restart an iPhone 14, users must press the volume and side buttons in a specific order. First, quickly press and release the volume-up button. Next, quickly press and release the volume-down button. Finally, hold down the side button until you see the Apple logo on the screen. This is a three-step procedure for manually rebooting an iPhone that is acting strangely. This method, however, should only be used as a last resort when the iPhone is not responding. Misusing the force restart function can lead to long-term problems with the iPhone 14.
How to Fix a Black Screen on an iPhone 14 Pro or When It Won’t Turn On
To begin, keep in mind that if your iPhone 14 is turned off, you may need to hold the Power button down for a few seconds to turn it back on. If you’ve tried that and it’s still not turning on, continue reading for the remaining troubleshooting steps.
#1. Let the iPhone 14 charge for a while.
The most likely reason an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro won’t turn on is a lack of battery power.
Simply connect the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 to a power source and let it charge for 15-20 minutes before pressing and holding the Power/Lock button to turn the iPhone 14 on.
#2. Restart iPhone 14 to Turn It On
You can force restart the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro by carrying out the following steps:
- Press and Release Volume Up key
- Immediately Press and Release the Volume Down button.
- Hold down the Power/Lock button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
If the iPhone does not respond to the standard procedure for starting up or powering on, attempting the force restart sequence may resolve the problem.
#3. Get in touch with Apple Support
If you’ve charged and forced restarted the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Plus, or iPhone 14 and it still won’t turn on, your next step is to contact Apple. Rarely, hardware issues can cause device problems, but because the iPhone 14 is new, it will be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and you will be able to get the problem resolved quickly thanks to Apple’s well-known excellent support.
Why won’t my new iPhone 14 turn on?
The most common reasons for an iPhone 14 not turning on are a low battery, pressing the Power button too quickly, or a glitch. Software issues are also possible, such as firmware updates, bugged apps, or a faulty connection that prevents your iPhone from signing you in. Hardware problems can also occur.
What should you do if your iPhone won’t turn on?
Quickly press and release the volume up button. Quickly press and release the volume down button. Hold the side button down until you see the Apple logo.
Why is my iPhone black and unresponsive?
Hardware issues are one of the most common causes of iPhone black screen death. In such cases, the components between the screen and the motherboard are especially vulnerable to damage. This can cause a black screen or the computer to completely shut down.
