3 Ways To Turn Off iPhone X, iPhone 11, And iPhone 12

Want to turn off or restart your iPhone but don’t know how to because it’s your first iPhone? The process to turn off newer iPhones like the iPhone 11, iPhone X, or iPhone 12 is a little different from previous generation models that had the Home button and the Touch ID.

For instance, you can turn off the iPhone 8 by pressing and holding the sleep button and dragging the power off slider. But the same trick cannot be used to turn off the newer iPhones. Here are three ways to turn off iPhone 12, iPhone X, and iPhone XR.

How to turn off the iPhone 11-styled models?

Method 1

This is the easiest and most common method to restart iPhone 11-styled models. Here’s what you need to do:

Long press and hold any one of the volume buttons and the sleep button simultaneously.
You will see a power-off slider on the screen.
Drag the slider to the right to turn off the iPhone.
To turn the device back on, long press the sleep button until you see the Apple Logo.

Method 2

If the iPhone is damaged and the side buttons are out of service, but the screen is intact, here’s what you need to do to turn off your iPhone X and above.

Go to the iPhone settings
Scroll down and tap on General
Tap on the Shut Down button located at the bottom
Drag the power slider to the right to turn off the iPhone.

Method 3 (Frozen screen fix)

If you have an iPhone with a cracked screen or the touch is not working (frozen screen), you can follow this method to restart your iPhone 11-styled model.

Press the volume up button
Press the volume down button
Long press and hold the Sleep button. You will now see the Power off slider screen
Keep holding the button until the screen turns off

This method will also turn out to be effective in cases where your iPhone is unresponsive and you need to force shut it.

How to turn on the iPhone 11-styled models?

You have turned off the iPhone. Now, if you want to restart your iPhone 11, iPhone X, or iPhone 12, long press and hold the sleep button (button on the right) until you see the Apple logo.

And that’s how you can restart your iPhone X and above. Note that iPhones work in a way that frequent restart is not required. However, if it comes to that, you now know how to turn off the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, or the 2017’s iPhone X.
