How to Turn iPhone 10 Back on

Last Updated: May 21, 2021

This wikiHow will teach you how to turn on an iPhone X (also known as the iPhone 10), which is a newer style of iPhone that does not have a Home button.

Steps

1
Locate the power button. It's on the upper right side of your iPhone.
2
Press and hold the power button to turn your iPhone on. You can lift your finger from the button once the Apple logo appears.^{[1]

3
Try removing your case if nothing is happening. An older or poorly fitted phone case could prevent you from actually pressing the power button, so you should take any case you have on your iPhone off.
- If your phone still won't turn on, continue to the next step.
4
Troubleshoot any software issues. To make sure there aren't software issues preventing your iPhone from turning on, you may need to force restart it. If that doesn't work, connect it to a power source for at least 30 minutes using the lightning cable it came with.
5
Repair hardware issues with Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you have the iPhone connected to power for 30 minutes and it still won't turn on, you may have a bad display (which means you might need a new phone), a bad power button, a faulty battery, or a faulty charging port (all of which an appointment with a repair shop or genius bar inside an Apple Store may help).^{[2]
