How to fix iPhone flashing Apple Logo
Solution #1. Force-restart your device
Sometimes forcing your iPhone to restart is all you need to do to fix the problem. Since your iPhone won’t turn on past the Apple logo, you’ll need to Perform a hard reset. The process of hard resetting an iPhone depends on which iPhone model you have, so we’ve broken down the process for each device. First make sure that your device is connected to a power source. And charge your iPad or iPhone for at least 15 minutes. Then:
- iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone 11 or later, and iPad with face ID models: Quickly press and release the volume up button then quickly press and release the volume down button and then press and hold the side (or top) button until the Apple logo appears.
- If you have an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus: Press and hold down the volume down button and the power button at the same time. Keep holding both buttons until you see the Apple logo on the screen. (ignore the “Slide to power off” screen if you see it).
- If you have other iPhone model (iPhone 6s, iPhone SE, & older, iPad with Home Button or iPod touch, etc): Simultaneously press and hold the Home button and the power button (Sleep/Wake button) until the display turns black and the Apple logo appears again (ignore the “Slide to power off” screen if you see it).
Solution #2. Put Your iPhone In DFU Mode
A Device Firmware Update (DFU) restore erases and reloads your iPhone’s software and firmware. This type of restore is also the final step you can take to resolve any type of iPhone software glitch.
