In this article, we will describe how to force the termination (forced restart) of each iPhone model, as well as the precautions at this time. Click on the iPhone screen does not have any response, with the usual means can not turn off the power …. In this case, let's consider forcibly terminating iPhone.
Forced termination (forced restart) refers to
Forced termination (forced restart) refers to powering down the iPhone without following the correct steps. There is no response to the operation of iPhone. When it falls into the so-called "frozen state", it is forced to turn off the power supply as a last resort.
When you force off iPhone, the power is turned off and the screen disappears. Then a few seconds later, the power will automatically turn on, the Apple logo will appear on the screen, and after a while, the iPhone will be rebooted.
Forced termination (forced restart) steps according to iPhone model
The steps to force termination are different on iPhone models. At 14:00 in iOS, the compulsory termination procedure for the iPhone model is as follows:
Press the button on the left side of the iPhone in the order of up (volume up) and down (volume down) for a short time, then press the button on the right (side button) for a long time. If the Slide off Power switch is displayed on the screen, it can be ignored. After about 10 seconds, where the Apple logo appears on the screen, release your finger from the button.
Continue to press the left volume down button and the right side button of the iPhone at the same time. After about 10 seconds, where the Apple logo appears on the screen, release your finger from the button.
Press the side button on the right side of the iPhone and the round button at the bottom of the screen (home button) at the same time. After about 10 seconds, where the Apple logo appears on the screen, release your finger from the button.
Be sure to remove the USB cable when forcibly terminating the iPhone. When you force termination when you connect to your computer through a USB cable, recovery Mode is started to initialize and restore iPhone. If you operate incorrectly in recovery mode, all data recorded on the iPhone may disappear.
If it cannot be forced to terminate (force restart)
If repeating the above does not force termination, it is also a way to place the iPhone before the battery runs out. Soon, due to battery depletion, the iPhone will be powered off, with the same effect as forced termination. Then the power will be turned on automatically after starting charging, but if nothing is displayed on the screen after waiting for a period of time, and pressing the side button does not respond, then suspect a hardware failure.
What is the difference between a forced termination (forced restart) and a normal restart?
When you restart iPhone following the normal steps, the process of closing files that are open at this time and terminating various programs (processes) that are running will be initiated. Files and programs will be cleaned up in the correct way, so there will be no harm to iPhone.
On the other hand, forced termination makes these processes fast, so the open file will remain the same, and the running program will complete the operation without notice. Data loss in an application can lead to unexpected conditions, so forced termination may be the last resort when trying to restart iPhone.
The usual way to restart is for previous models of iPhone 8 and iPhone SE generation 2 to press the side button (power button) first, while models after iPhone X press both the power button and the volume button. The Slide Power off button appears on the screen, so operate it and turn off the power. Then press the side key to turn on the power again.
