To turn off your iPhone if the touchscreen doesn’t work, you can use a combination of button presses. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Locate the buttons: On most iPhone models, the volume buttons are located on the left side of the device, and the side button (also known as the power button) is on the right side or top of the device.
2. Press and quickly release the volume up button: Press the volume up button, which is the button closer to the top of the device, and release it quickly. Be sure not to hold it down for too long, as that may trigger a different action.
3. Press and quickly release the volume down button: After releasing the volume up button, press the volume down button, which is the button closer to the bottom of the device, and release it quickly.
4. Press and hold the side button: After releasing the volume down button, press and hold the side button (power button) until the screen goes dark and you see the Apple logo appear. This may take a few seconds.
5. Wait for the device to power off: Keep holding the side button until the device completely powers off. You can release the button once the screen goes dark and the Apple logo disappears.
Once your iPhone is powered off, you can turn it back on by pressing and holding the side button until the Apple logo appears again.
It’s worth mentioning that if the touchscreen is completely unresponsive, you may want to consider troubleshooting or seeking professional assistance to resolve the underlying issue.
