iPhone 16 Pro not turning on

The battery is also horrible. I didn’t have to charge my 14 all day I’m up for 1/2 hour and it’s down to 85

Had the same problem, got a new iPhone 16 Pro -Max , and it is still happening ; Apple needs to fix this problem

Has anyone tried to make a warranty claim to replace their iphone 16?

You have a one year warranty on your iPhone. Have you taken it to Apple and showed it to them?

I have not shown them that my iPhone 16 died, because it did come back. If I ask for a replacement, would it happen again? It seems to be a random, systemic problem that Apple is not owning up to.

Nope, it happened this morning. Tomorrow I'm contacting them.

I experienced the same issue and this was the hard reset approach that worked for me! Thanks, lobsterghost1!

hold it for longer than 10 seconds and it must work hope apple can fix this

As soon as I clicked into iTunes, it went on.

iPhone 16 pro Max here. This happened to me this morning. I usually switch it off and charge at night. Took me about 10 minutes in frustration to finally get it switched on. Had to force start 3 times.

I’m really hoping this is a bug and will be fixed in the next software update and not my phone. These things ain’t cheap 😅

Same here. The only thing tech support told me is to reduce the battery charging to 80% and therefore not able to use optimized battery charging. Also to only use the supplied USB-C cable NOT the Apple MagSafe I have used for years and try that….either way it’s not good! As you say these are expensive phones.

looks like you have the opposite problem to me. Mine charges on both but if I use the wireless I have to do the vol up/down reset…and at that very slow to start. Also can’t charge to 100% or I also need to do reset start. Hopefully Apple is reading these posts and working on a fix….seems like a spreading problem!

So I have had this problem since day 1…but only when I use an apple OEM MagSafe and the phone is set to charge over 80%. When it won’t start I have to do volume up volume down and side button (hold until the apple logo comes on). It works normally charging on USB-C (although have not tried at 100%, only charging to 80% or 90%). I works on a third party wireless charger (although when set to 90% it charged to 100%!). I have spoken with apple support both level 1 and subsequently level 2 supervisor and the only answer they have is use the USB-c provided and do not set over 80%. My opinion is this is a glitch and apple has yet to figure out a fix. I am lucky in that I have always managed to reset and get it operational…it’s disappointing that Apple hasn’t yet stated they are working on the problem and indicated it will be covered if hardware or corrected by a future update. Last note…all the chargers and cables I have used work fine on my wife’s 13 mini and worked great for years on my 13 pro.

Quickly press volume up then volume down then press and hold side button until the apple logo comes up…then release. If that doesn’t work do the same thing plugged in with the USB-C charger. That is straight from Apple tech support….the. As a safeguard set the charge to less than 100% before charging next time.
