If this is your first iPhone\u2014or your first smartphone in general\u2014then chances are, you may be confused about how to turn it on or completely off rather than just putting it to sleep. To turn on your iPhone 14, hold down the side button until you see the Apple logo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, hold down the side button and one of the volume buttons on an iPhone 14, then drag the Slide to power off slider when it appears onscreen. To restart an iPhone 14, turn it off completely, then press and hold the side button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s how to turn off and then back on the iPhone 14 series. It’s simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As previously stated, this is the same trick that works on virtually all new model iPhones with Face ID, as well as new iPad models, so learn it once and you’ll be able to apply it to virtually all iOS and iPadOS devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also shut down iPhone via Settings, eliminating the need for button presses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For what it’s worth, turning off and on the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. is essentially a soft restart of the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In comparison, a hard force restart of the same device disrupts whatever is going on and forces the iPhone to reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing how to perform a normal restart as well as a force restart are useful troubleshooting techniques for iPhone users that can be used whenever something isn’t working properly on the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To force your iPhone 14 to restart, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The steps for turning off the always-on display are the same whether you have the iPhone 14 Pro or the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The always-on display will be on by default when you first set up your phone; however, as soon as you unlock it, you can turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you lock the screen, your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max will go dark, just like any other iPhone model. To reactivate the always-on display, follow the steps outlined above and toggle it back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the best features of a smartphone with an always-on display is the ability to see the time at a glance without having to wake up your phone by pressing a button or tapping the screen. Some may argue that the iPhone’s always-on display is a little cluttered when compared to those found on most other smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you prefer this more minimalist look, Apple added two new options in iOS 16.2 that allow you to tone things down by removing the wallpaper, disabling notifications, or both. This can also help you reduce any potential impact on battery life without completely turning off the always-on display, though from our research we found those savings to be negligible at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When your iPhone screen is locked and sleeping, disabling both options leaves you with nothing but the clock, giving you the most minimalist look possible. Leaving wallpaper enabled without notifications provides a similarly clean appearance, displaying only the time and your chosen wallpaper, dimmed and tone-adjusted for the best appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, allowing notifications on your always-on display may cause some clutter depending on how many you typically receive and how you use Focus modes. When one is enabled, it will also display the current Focus mode at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding Focus modes, Apple added a useful new feature in iOS 16.4 that allows you to include your always-on display in the list of things that are affected when you change modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using the Sleep Focus, the always-on display has always been disabled, but you can now turn it off in any Focus mode, such as during work or quiet times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use Focus modes to control when and where your always-on display is used because they can be set to turn on and off automatically based on time and location. It can also enable the always-on display, allowing you to turn it off by default while having it active at specific times of the day, week, or location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There could be a number of reasons why your iPhone 14 isn’t turning on. The first thing to look for is a dead battery. Check that the battery is charged and the device is properly plugged in. If the battery is running low, try plugging it in for a few hours before restarting it. If this does not work, there could be a hardware or software issue. You can try resetting or restoring the device to factory settings. If none of these solutions works, you should contact Apple Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your iPhone 14 is having problems, you can restore it to factory settings to try to resolve the issue. Go to Settings > General > Reset to reset your device. You can then choose to restore your device to factory settings. This will clear all of your data and settings and return the device to its factory settings. Before resetting your device, make a backup because this will erase all of your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
