My iPhone has been acting a bit slow, so I want to restart it but I’m not sure of the exact steps since different models seem to work differently. How do you restart newer iPhones without a home button compared to older ones? Also, is there a way to force restart if the screen is frozen? Looking for simple step-by-step instructions.
 
  • Face ID models: Hold Side + Volume → slide off → hold Side to turn on
  • Home button models: Hold Power → slide off → press Power again
 
To restart an iPhone with Face ID, hold the side button and either volume button, then drag the slider. For older models, hold the side/top button to slide. If frozen, force restart by pressing and releasing Volume Up, then Volume Down, and holding the side button until the logo appears.
 
The next step to restart your iPhone is to hold the Side button and then press either the Volume button until the power slider comes up. Drag the slider to turn it off. Once the device has been turned off, it should be turned on again with the Side button and then pressed and held until an Apple logo appears. Your iPhone will boot back to normal.
 
To restart an iPhone, press and hold the side button with either volume button until the power slider appears. Drag the slider to turn it off, then wait a few seconds. Press and hold the side button again until the Apple logo appears. This simple restart can fix minor glitches and improve performance.
