iPhone Stuck on Apple Logo? Here’s the Fix

Is your iPhone stuck on the Apple logo and won’t start? Don’t panic — this problem is very common and usually easy to fix. Here are the best solutions to get your iPhone working again.

1. Force Restart Your iPhone

This is the fastest method and works most of the time.

• iPhone 8 or later: Press Volume Up → Volume Down → hold Power Button.
• iPhone 7: Hold Volume Down + Power Button together.
• iPhone 6 or earlier: Hold Home + Power Button.

2. Charge Your iPhone for 30 Minutes

If the battery is extremely low, the phone may freeze on the Apple logo. Plug it in for 30 minutes and try again.

3. Connect to a Computer and Update

Use a Mac or Windows PC and open iTunes/Finder. Connect your iPhone and choose “Update”. This will reinstall the system without erasing your data.

4. Enter Recovery Mode

If updating doesn’t work, try Recovery Mode. Your computer will attempt to repair your iPhone system.

5. Restore iPhone (Last Option)

If nothing works, you may need to restore your device. This deletes everything, so use it only as a final option.
