Introduction

Performing a force restart should not delete any data, but can be helpful if your iPhone X is frozen, won't turn on, or needs troubleshooting.

Step 1

Quickly press and release the volume-up button (1).
Quickly press and release the volume-down button (2).

Step 2

Finally, press and hold the side button (3) until the Apple logo appears, and then release.
The screen will temporarily go dark as the iPhone shuts down and reboots. Keep holding the button until you see the  logo.

I’ve been trying to restart my iPhone X since yesterday night… doing it the way I always do (volume up or down and hold side button) and NOTHING. I just came to look for help online and all the same thing. BUT I found your way… and I got my phone back!!!! It was frozen on the same screens, unresponsive. THANK YOU!!!

You saved my day. My iphoneX did not respond to anything after connect with the itune. I tried to shut down by holding volume up/down + side button but it didn’t work. So I tried your method and it worked!!! Thank you so much
