It may be that your iPhone is buggy, preventing you from using it. In such cases, a forced reboot is necessary, or even a switch to DFU mode if the problem doesn’t resolve itself after the first solution. It’s also possible to reset your iPhone without a PC, and we’re going to explain how to do it, as you’ll see.
How to reboot your X / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14?
It’s very simple, just follow the instructions below:
- Place your fingers on the “+” and “-” volume buttons simultaneously.
- While pressing the volume buttons, also press the iPhone Power button
- Keep your three fingers pressed on the 3 buttons until the restart display appears.
If this technique doesn’t work for you, or if the problem persists despite your efforts, you’ll need to switch to DFU mode.
