Why is my iPhone 12 Pro Max stuck in boot loop?

My Iphone 12 Pro Max is just flashing the Apple logo every 3-5 seconds, but doesn't power on.

Try a Forced Restart.

This can be a bit tricky.

Quickly press and release the Up Button

Quickly press and release the Down Button

Hold in the Side button.....and keep holding it for 20-25 seconds while you ignore the "slider" when it appears. Keep holding the Side button until you see the Apple logo in the center of the screen......then.....release the Side button


If no help after a few tries, there is a hardware problem with the phone that will require service at the Apple Store.....make an appointment.....or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop in your area if that is more convenient.
