My wife’s iPhone 16 Pro is not turning on. Several times I have had to push the top volume, bottom volume and then hold the right power button until the Apple came on. And it took much longer than 10 seconds and instead of it coming on by itself, the Apple would show only after I held and released the power button. Did she get a lemon or are others having this problem? She gets a new phone every year so this is not an operator error.
iPhone 16 Pro
This happened again to my wife's iPhone 16 Pro. She could never get it to start. I tried 3 or 4 times with the force restart and it again would not start. I then plugged it in as a last resort, did the force restart a few time and finally it started. The battery was at 100%. It took quite a long time holding the start button after the volume up and down buttons for it to finally start. I will do a force restart on my iPhone occasionally and it never takes that long. She has had almost every iPhone since the 3G, so this is definitely not operator error.
I am responding here in hopes that it gets pushed to the top of iPhone questions in hopes that others may either respond that they too are having this issue and what the resolution is.
This doesn't work at all,I tried 100 times now without success.
Sorry I meant to make complaints to apple support not on this site. Good point though about taking the phones to the Genius bar.
In sequence holding the power on button until you see the apple logo.
Thank you. She’s up and running again. Much appreciated!
You’re welcome.
Just got my brand new iPhone 16 pro three days ago. Turned it off while plugged in last night and the same thing happened this morning. Had to force restart to get it on.
You hit volume up then down quickly (without holding either one), and then hold down the power button by itself. It should turn on within 5-10 seconds.
This just happened to me for the first time. I think the scenario was identical to everyone else—My battery is set to charge to 90% max, and then I turned off my phone. I’m not 100% certain I turned off my phone before it reached 90%, but I turned it off and unplugged it. This morning, I plugged in my phone to finish charging, and I was surprised the screen didn’t turn on. I didn’t really think anything of it for 10 or 15 minutes, and when I tried to turn it on… nothing. The force restart worked for me. What’s interesting is if I look at the battery level chart for the last 24 hours, the chart is empty starting at the point where I would’ve plugged it in to start charging last night. It also says “last charged to 90%,” and the date is the previous time I charged. All of this makes me hopeful that it is a software problem.
Annoying, this has happened a number of times now in a phone that costs over £1200! Battery is always at 100% but firmware seems to think the battery has no charge, come on Apple, fix this bug!!
My iPhone 16 never turns on n I have had it fixed 3 times. I am so sick of this
My brand new 16 Pro also died after a night of charging. Is this a flaw? Not happy.
Well said. Apple needs to give us a solution to this problem or replace these phones. God knows we pay enough for them.
I won’t shut it off until fixed. To spend this kind of money and have so many issues.
They all have it. It’s the firmware we downloaded maybe the 18.1 or .2
It is a system iPhone 16 flaw
