Either way, if it doesn't come back, plug it in to power and see if it comes on. I have had it happen where I held the button too long and it powered off. But the timing is also important. Fairly quickly press and release the volume up, then press and release the volume down, then hold in the powe

Hi Richard, Yes, I also noticed that faint click when a headset is connected, but on my iPhone 8 it’s at least 10 seconds, I have never had it as fast as 6 or 8. I think 12 is a safe bet and not so long that it interferes with the phone restarting. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of K

I'm fairly sure the X phones and 11's use the same steps as the 8, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong. In my experience it only takes 6 to 8 seconds. If you have an earphone in, you can hear a faint click when it reboots. Richard "Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are

RE: IOS 13.3 bug

I recommend a hard reset, but it depends on your device as to how you accomplish it. On the iPhone 6S and prior you push and hold the home button and side button simultaneously for about 12 seconds. On the iPhone 8 you push volume up, then volume down and then push and hold the side button for
