Turning It Off Using Buttons

Press the Side button once to turn on your new iPhone. If the Apple logo doesn't appear on the screen, the device may need to be charged – plug it into a power outlet using the provided Lightning cable, and let it charge for at least a few minutes before trying again.

If after charging your iPhone it still doesn't respond to Side button presses, then try the key combination to exit DFU mode. If that doesn't work, you may need to bring it back to Apple to check if the handset isn't damaged.

Now, let’s just get right into how to turn off iPhone!

Step 1. Press and hold the Side button together with the Volume Up or Volume Down button until two sliding buttons appear on the screen.

Step 2. Release the physical button and swipe right on the slide to turn off the button at the top of the screen.
