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
Hi. I had the same experience today. Was very Hassled as the iPhone 16 pro 1 TB is a usd 2000 phone.
Went to the Apple store and the technician fixed it in 30 seconds. Seems the iPhone 16 has a different hard reboot process.
Sharing the same below for all
Hard reboot is first press the volume up button on the left side once only, then press the volume down button below it once only and then keep holding the power button till the apple logo shows up.
Best wishes to all and hope you never have to use it but if you do keep this thread.
My Apple 16 phone will not turn on
Help
My iPhone will not turn on; it’s less than a year old.
Thank you so much. This worked for me. I also tried all the tricks before this which didn't work. Mine is brand new so I hope this doesn't happen again. Thanks again!
This is the best solution and worked on the first go. Careful and follow exactly as he say
Your post was the most helpful to me and it worked well. Thank you.
Hi. Its late March 2025, and this is still happening to new 16P. I wonder if connecting it to Apple Devices on Windows will be the 2nd try fix procedure because I do not have Itunes?
which it obviously does have a hardware problem!! 16-e, not even 18 hours since the box was opened, ios 18.3.2
I have been using optimize battery since I got it. Still shutting down and takes forever to get it going again.
I wish I would have read akk this before I got this iphone. Nothing works to get it back on. IT decides when IT is ready to come back on. Should have stayed with Samsung!!!!

So you returned it, right?
My iPhone 16 Pro Max screen does not turn on. I see a lot of people have the same issue. What stand me to do.
I have a Pro Max iPhone 16. My screen does not come on. Even with Always on. Nothing is on display
So how did everyone finally get theirs to turn on? Mine has been like this for a few hour after it updated over night. Very disappointing! I don’t know what yo do! Phone is like new.
Update: If you try the hard reset with no luck, you need to go to the Apple store. They attempted a manual hard reset and nothing. They have a mechanism in the store that they can run to basically for a reset that is not the volume up, volume down, power button, and nothing. They also ran an HDI to power on and he said it was essentially a "this phone will never power on ever again." They do not know why it did this and the phone was received 1 month and 4 days ago. Going to the Apple store and them running the HDI to power on will definitively tell you if there is any hope left in the phone. It's wildly inconvenient but at least there is an avenue to get answers.
