iPhone not turning on

When I woke up my iPhone screen is black. I tried to turn it on but it's not working as well as the troubleshooting options. My battery was at 50% before I slept.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Perform a Forced Restart on the phone. Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. You may need to repeat this several times.


Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


There are only 2 possible results when you perform a Forced Restart:


1) The phone returns to normal operation.....or else.....


2) There is a hardware problem with the phone that will need attention at the Apple Store (make an appointment) or at an authorized Apple Service shop.
