Yes, yes, iPhones can freeze too. You may never experience this, but the fact remains. However, this is not a problem, because after a reboot, the device will most likely recover. The problem is different - the iPhone cannot be turned off or restarted in the usual way. Accordingly, the question arises - what to do?
Indeed, if you press the POWER button, nothing will happen.
Apple has come up with a way to reset the device for situations like this. And it consists in this: you need to press not only the POWER button, but also the HOME button, and do it at the same time! Thus, you press the keys and hold them for about 10-20 seconds until the screen goes blank.
As soon as the screen is off, you can release the keys. If suddenly the reboot did not take place, while the screen went blank, press the POWER button to turn on your device.
If holding down the HOME and POWER buttons for 10-20 seconds does not help, hold them longer. In some cases, this may take a minute or more, but the device should reboot.
Please note that this method works on all iPhones up to 5, 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus. In the case of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the process is somewhat different. The fact is that Apple, starting with these models, has abandoned the physical HOME button, so the forced reboot procedure has changed.
If you have an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you need to hold down the POWER key, as well as the volume down key, and hold them until the device reboots.
What if the HOME or POWER key does not work? Force rebooting a hung device won't work. In this case, you have only one thing to do - wait for the moment when the battery in the iPhone runs out, put it on charge and turn on the device in the usual way.
At least once, but every owner of an iPhone or any other iOS device has experienced software failures when the device stops responding to touching the screen and pressing mechanical control buttons (Home and Power).
