how's it going everyone phil here from
fierce technology and if you have one of
the newer iPhones that does not have the
home button located on the front of it
then this video is for you this will
work from anywhere from the iPhone 10
all the way up to the newer iPhones so
how do you shut your phone off a lot of
people can't figure it out there is two
ways to do it and I'm gonna tell you
both ways the first way is go into your
settings go into general and go down to
shutdown and then you would just slide
to power off so you can slide to just
shut it completely off we're not going
to do that right now the next way to do
it is to do it from the buttons which I
find is the much easier way to do it so
let's go ahead and do that all you need
to do is hold either the down or the UP
button you can choose whichever one you
want to so for this purpose we're gonna
hold the down button and then we're just
gonna hold that that power button and
there we go and that will bring up the
screen that we need so we can slide to
power off from this mode which we will
do right now and to turn back on your
phone all you're gonna do is hold down
the slide power button right here for
about two or three seconds until you see
Apple logo there we go
Apple logo is coming back on and your
phone will completely restart now why
would you need to hard reset your phone
hardware you setting your phone is
actually not bad for maintenance if you
hard reset your phone maybe once a week
it's a good refresh for your phone and
it's good for your battery to do it also
if your phone is frozen for some reason
in an app or it's not switching back and
forth for screens you probably want to
do a hard reset on it with previous
iPhones all you would have to do is just
hold down your home button and hold down
this button right here the power button
and you be able to hard reset your phone
but that's not the case anymore because
there is no button in the middle this
process requires you to use three
buttons your volume up your volume down
and your power on and off lock switch so
let's go ahead and get started so all
we're going to do is go volume up volume
down hold down your side power button
until you see the Apple logo continue
holding the button down here on the side
and there we go it's restarting once you
see the Apple logo there we go now you
can release the side power button you
don't have to continue holding these
buttons at all all it is is just up down
and hold down your power button until
you see the Apple logo and just let it
reset and now that the phone is all
restarted your phone should be unfrozen
and should be working properly so again
guys this is a super easy process to do
I'm gonna show you once again without
going through your settings I'm just
gonna use the buttons this time I'm
gonna hold the volume up and then the
power button down together for about two
or three seconds and there we go we get
the slide to power off so all we're
gonna do is just slide to power off and
you're completely done let's say you
have a phone that is acting up the
software is a little bit buggy it's
running slow your battery is dying
really fast and you need to reset the
phone and restore it to factory settings
I'm gonna show you how to do that today
it's gonna require a couple of steps but
it's really not that difficult to do the
first thing you will need is a computer
for the purpose of this video I do have
my macbook pro here but you can do this
with a PC the first thing you want to do
is download the latest iTunes software
on your macbook or your PC once you've
done that go to your phone let's have a
look at the phone itself we've got a
cable plugged into it you can see the
USB cable right here and the USB cable
right here the lightning cable we're
gonna plug that right into the phone
itself we'll plug that in first there we
go it's probably gonna ask you to trust
or something on your computer sometimes
it won't if you've already done that
before but we're gonna leave that as is
for now now what we're gonna do is we're
going to press a couple combinations of
buttons the first thing we're gonna do
is press the UP button and then the down
button and then we're gonna hold down
the power on and off button so let's go
ahead and do that right now we're gonna
press up down hold the button continue
holding this button you're gonna have to
hold this button for probably 20 or 30
seconds until you see the phone go into
recovery mode continue holding continue
holding don't let go of the button right
there
even if you see that Apple ogle don't
let go yet continue holding it will show
up with like a little computer on the
iPhone itself and not will let you know
there we go now you can release the
button and you can see now the phone is
in like a recovery mode or DFU mode as a
lot of you like to call it so we'll
leave it as is we'll put the phone down
here for a second and it says there's a
problem with your iPhone that requires
it to be updated or restored updating it
would be updating it to the newest
software restoring it would be factory
resetting it making it nice and fresh so
we're gonna hit the restore now before
you do that I want to remind you that
this will erase everything off your
phone so any photos pictures or anything
you have on your phone is gone unless
you have backed up your phone through
iCloud or your itunes computer before
then you do have a backup of it but
don't do this if you don't want to lose
your information so make sure you have a
backup of your phone so let's go ahead
and hit the restore on there and restore
and update so this means that if you
don't have the latest software on your
phone
this will require it to update to the
latest software if you don't have the
latest update on your computer it's
going to download that update for you
before it restores your phone so I'm
gonna go ahead and click on restore and
update and we're just gonna let it do
its thing you can see because I have the
software already on my computer its
extracting the software and then we're
gonna let it do its thing you can still
see my phone still has that recovery
mode on there but let's go ahead and
fast-forward and see what it does once
it's done extracting and installing that
software you can see once it's preparing
and restoring the software it does show
with the Apple logo so it does go away
from that little computer screen on the
iPhone but let's go ahead and let it do
its little bar install up there and once
that process is done you will get a
little icon on your screen which says
these iPhone has been restored and now
that it's done you can see it's just
hitting that reset mode and it's gonna
go back to completely the beginning the
factory fresh when you got your iPhone
and while it's restarting you can see it
did pop up with this screen which says
activation lock which means that you do
need to enter your app
ID username and password to unlock the
phone so if you found this phone or it's
a lost phone and you're trying to do
this process to get into the phone if
you don't have the Apple ID username or
password you're not gonna be able to use
this phone the phone is completely
useless so if it's stolen phone or it's
a lost phone try and find the original
owner and give it back to them but if
it's your phone all you need to do is
enter your Apple ID username and
password and you can continue the
process and there we go we are at the
beginning stages of this phone as if it
was brand new I can unplug it now and
then we can continue the process as far
as activating the phone and normal again
if you haven't entered your Apple ID
user and password it will take you to
the steps to do that on here if this
video was helpful for you make sure you
smash that thumbs up and leave me a
comment down below to let me know and I
will catch you guys on the next video
