iPhone Stuck on Apple Logo: Troubleshooting & Recovery Steps

 

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:
    1. Quickly
      press and release the Volume Up button.
    2. Quickly
      press and release the Volume Down button.
    3. 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.

  1. Connect
    your iPhone to a computer
    using a Lightning cable.
  2. Open
    iTunes (or Finder on macOS Catalina and later).
  3. 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).
  4. 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.

  1. Connect
    your iPhone to a computer.
  2. Put
    your iPhone in DFU Mode:
    • iPhone
      8 and later:
      1. Quickly
        press Volume Up, then Volume Down.
      2. Hold
        the Side Button until the screen goes black.
      3. 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.
      4. 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.
  3. 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.
