what's going on guys my name is Wade
with tech daily so as we all know one of
the big changes to both the iPhone 7 and
iPhone 7 plus is the removal of the
physical home button for general
day-to-day usage of your phone this
isn't a big deal but if you ever need to
hard reset your device meaning if you
ever need to force it to power down
because it's freezing or glitching or if
you ever need to enter DFU mode in order
to fully restore your device not having
an actual home button means there's a
new way to handle those things the
iPhone 7 just doesn't recognize if you
hold down the home button with the power
button anymore the only thing that that
triggers is the screenshot so there's a
completely new combination of buttons
for hard reset and entering DFU mode to
hard reset your phone or force it to
shutdown we're going to be using the
power button on the right side and the
lower volume button on the left press
down on the power button first for a few
seconds and then while still holding the
power button hold down the lower volume
button now as well keep holding both
buttons down and after a few seconds
your phone should completely shut down
entering DFU mode requires a few extra
steps you're first going to want to grab
a computer because we need to be
connected to itunes to do this after
your phone is connected to the computer
via the lightning cable go ahead and
shut down the phone like normal once
again we'll be using the power button
and lower volume button to do this so
first hold the power button down for
about three seconds
and then immediately hold the lower
volume button for 10 seconds your screen
should still be black here so if your
phone turns on you'll have to try again
after about 10 seconds release the power
button but keep holding the lower volume
button for a few more seconds you should
then get a message in iTunes saying that
there's an iPhone in recovery mode and
you can now restore it and if you ever
want to get out of DFU mode just hold
down the power button and lower volume
button together until your iPhone
displays the Apple logo and powers back
on again so there you go this was just a
quick video on something I figured a lot
of people may need in the future if they
ever run into problems with their iPhone
