How to force-restart an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus


Unlike other iPhone models, the iPhone 7 and its Plus-sized sibling do not feature a physical home button - it's a software-based haptic button that senses a press and buzzes to simulate a click rather than physically pressing down - and you'll find that the guide above won't work on these devices.

However, if you do encounter problems you can still force-restart your iPhone 7: press the power/lock key on the right side of the phone while also pressing and holding the volume down key on the left.

After holding these two buttons for a short while, your iPhone will turn off its display and you will soon see the Apple logo appear.
