What to do if iPhone XS screen is frozen and won’t turn off?
Previous iPhone models can easily be fixed even with this problem as you simple have to press and hold the Side and Volume Down keys for a few seconds. The new models don’t respond to such combination anymore. But instead, here’s what you’re going to do…
- Press and quickly release the Volume Up key.
- Press and quickly release the Volume Down key.
- Press and hold the Side key until you see the Apple logo.
After doing this, your iPhone XS should already be booting up, I’m certain of that. If the display is frozen on a certain screen and even though the phone isn’t responding, it’s still powered on so there’s no way that this is a hardware issue. Unlike the other problem wherein the phone is stuck on a black screen, you don’t have to worry if your phone turns on or not because it’s already powered on.
So, as far as fixing the frozen screen that won’t turn off is concerned, that’s all you need to do to make your device respond again.
