Here’s a step-by-step guide to fix an iPhone stuck on the
Apple logo:
1. Force Restart Your iPhone
Performing a force restart can often resolve minor software
glitches. The steps vary by iPhone model:
- iPhone
8 and later: - Quickly
press and release the Volume Up button. - Quickly
press and release the Volume Down button. - Press
and hold the Side Button until the Apple logo disappears and
reappears. - iPhone
7/7 Plus:
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons
simultaneously until the Apple logo disappears and reappears. - iPhone
6s and earlier:
Press and hold the Home and Power buttons simultaneously
until the Apple logo disappears and reappears.
2. Connect to a Computer and Use Recovery Mode
If the force restart doesn’t work, try Recovery Mode.
- Connect
your iPhone to a computer using a Lightning cable. - Open
iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later). - Put
your iPhone into Recovery Mode: - Follow
the same steps for a force restart, but keep holding the final button
until the Recovery Mode screen appears (shows a cable pointing to
a computer). - When
prompted on your computer, choose Update to reinstall iOS without
erasing data. If Update fails, choose Restore (this will
erase all data).
3. Use DFU Mode (Device Firmware Update Mode)
If Recovery Mode doesn’t work, DFU Mode can help resolve
deeper software issues.
- Connect
your iPhone to a computer. - Put
your iPhone in DFU Mode: - iPhone
8 and later: - Quickly
press Volume Up, then Volume Down. - Hold
the Side Button until the screen goes black. - Hold
the Volume Down button while still holding the Side Button
for 5 seconds, then release the Side Button but keep holding Volume
Down for another 10 seconds. - The
screen should stay black, and the computer should detect your iPhone in
DFU Mode. - iPhone
7/7 Plus:
Hold the Volume Down and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then
release Power while holding Volume Down for another 10
seconds. - iPhone
6s and earlier:
Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then
release Power while holding Home for another 10 seconds. - On
your computer, follow the prompts to Restore the device.
4. Check for Hardware Issues
If none of the above steps work, the issue might be
hardware-related:
- Inspect
the Lightning port for debris or damage. - Check
if the device has suffered physical or liquid damage. - Visit
an Apple Store or authorized service provider for further
diagnostics.
