What to do if iPhone 14 can't be turned on
The iPhone 14 series has been on sale for a long time. At present, the general version of the iPhone 14 has a very sufficient supply. Basically, all the little partners who bought the iPhone 14 have got their own new models. Many users choose to update the latest iOS 16 system, but some of them cannot boot after updating the system. Next, Xiao Bian will bring you a detailed solution to the problem that the iPhone 14 cannot be started.
What if the iPhone 14 cannot be started? Solution to iPhone 14 Failure to Start
Method 1: Force restart
To forcibly restart your iPhone, press and release the volume up key, then quickly press the volume down key. Once released, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo. This may take up to 40 seconds, and we recommend that you press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the logo.
The forced restart process has a relatively small time window to register the correct keys. Therefore, if the first attempt does not produce results, we recommend trying this process several times. In most cases, a forced restart will restart your iPhone 14, bring everything back to normal and restart as expected.
Method 2: Restore your iPhone in DFU mode
If forced restart does not solve your problem, you can try to restore your iPhone in DFU mode. DFU mode is Apple's recovery mode. Restoring your iPhone through this process will install a new version of iOS 16 on your iPhone. This will help fix any persistent errors that prevent you from restarting iPhone. Use the following steps to help you restore iPhone 14 in DFU mode.
Note: DFU recovery will delete all data contained on iPhone. Your iPhone cannot be backed up in DFU mode. We recommend that you keep this in mind before continuing with the following steps
Connect iPhone to your computer using a lightning cable, but don't start iTunes for now. Instead, force your iPhone back into recovery mode. Modern iPhones only enter recovery mode when connected to a computer. To place iPhone in DFU mode, press and release the Volume Up button, and then press the Volume Down button. Now press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until your iPhone restarts and gives you a blank screen.
If you are using a Windows PC, start iTunes on your computer now. If you are using a Mac, open Finder and select your iPhone from the left sidebar. ITunes will automatically detect that your iPhone is in recovery mode and prompt you to restore it.
ITunes will then download and install a new copy of iOS 16 on your iPhone 14. Do not disconnect your device during this process until prompted by iTunes. After restoring iPhone, you will see the welcome screen. You can now set your device as a new device and restore your backup so that everything is back up and running again.
The above is the specific solution for iPhone 14 failure to boot. There are two methods to choose from. The overall operation is complex. Normally, if the problem is not particularly serious, you can restore it to normal through forced restart. If it is not feasible, you can only use the second method.
