Second time- IPhone 16 Pro won’t turn on after charging all night.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
Sorry for not replying yet again to multiple, continuing pleas for help. I’m new here and I didn’t want to step on replies from more experienced members. I now from hard experience how truly frustrating it is when you keep applying instructions that do not work for you. But this same issue is what brought me here recently. I’m guessing, based on errors I made repeatedly, that you have read and applied sberman’s correct instruction, posted earlier, multiple times without it working for you. I had seen the same online, and thought I was applying them correctly, all without effect. So with apologies to Sberman, try this:
“Force restart the iPhone as follows:
[Brackets mine].
Note that the brief presses must simply be ‘clicks’. Do not hold either Up or Down and definitely do not hold either while pressing the Hold on the side button. Yep, I tried all that before the Apple employee showed me the two simple clicks required before the hold. Truth be told, I began to press those ups and downs very hard as if to make sure they activated. Suggest you might also see my earlier post here regarding clicks.
And for those concerned about how one has charged a phone and found it unresponsive: I used a third-party induction charger, and in each case, I found my iPhone 16Pro 100% charged once I got it started.
Thank you so much this reminder. I knew the restart instructions, as I have had to do this before, but literally sat here doing the press up / press down buttons, hold side button for 10 minutes. Thought I had the sequence wrong so scrolled down and saw your answer...WORKED THE FIRST TIME! Thank you for posting!
Unfortunately that didn’t work for me
What wall charger are you using? Is it Apple brand or third party?
Do you know the wattage or what device it came with?
Mine is an Apple charger that came with an iPad. It’s 20 watts and it charges my iPhone from about 20% to around 100% in 60 to 90 minutes.
I tried the restart method but it didn’t work. Any other ideas?
This technique is not working for me. My iphone is 1 week old and already staring with problems? !
w
is there another solution?
My new iPhone 16 pro will not turn on , it was on charger all night. I’ve tried the force restart. Help!
My Iphone 16 Max Pro won't start after an overnight charge. I have tried the above steps several times. What do I do? I need my phone for a flight tomorrow.
I’ve had my iPhone 16 for 7 weeks.
today (11/27) after an all-night charge, the next morning the iPhone will not turn on.
I know the charge cords work as I checked on another phone. Wall plug outlets also work ok..
Ive tried letting it charge for 45 mins; then 2 hrs, and still doesn’t charge.
this happened 2 weeks ago, I took it to ATT store. They tried different things then suggested a longer charge time. After 35 mins it turned on.
After using the restart method of using both volume buttons separately; then hold the power button singularly until the Apple logo appears; it still won’t turn on.
