How To Restart IPhone 7 And IPhone 7 Plus

If you are an iPhone 7 owner, you may be wondering how to restart an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus given that it does not have a clickable Home button. It turns out that iPhone 7 models do not need the pushable Home button to forcibly restart the device, because they instead rely on the volume buttons. Let’s review how to restart an iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. It may be a little unusual at first if you’re accustomed to the old way of force rebooting other iOS devices with a clickable Home button, but it’s just as easy despite being a bit different. A forced restart is not the traditional restart procedure of shutting down and starting back up. A forced restart is typically necessary when a device has frozen or crashed or is otherwise unresponsive. Some people erroneously call is a force reset or hard reset or an iPhone reset, but resetting a device actually resets it to factory settings which is not at all what a forced restart or forced reboot does. The Power button is located on the right side of the iPhone 7 device looking straight on to the glass face. The Volume Down button is located on the left side of the iPhone 7 if you’re looking at the glass screen face. All you need to do is hold both Volume Down and Power concurrently to start the force restart process on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Continue holding down both the Volume Down and Power buttons on iPhone 7 until you see the Apple  logo appear on the screen. Once the Apple logo appears on the display you can stop holding the buttons, the iPhone 7 has successfully been restarted. It’s different, but once you reboot an iPhone 7 this way a few times you’ll learn the new habit.

Even though the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus don't have a whole new design to flaunt, it does have enough to stand out. The one feature that has made a lot of buzzes is the press-sensitive Home button. Now, you no longer have to click the Home button to get the job done. Just place your finger on it and you are done! As we are too accustomed to the iconic Home button on iPhone or iPad to easily get along with something new. With the touch-sensitive Home button arriving on the latest iPhone, you will have to learn the new technique of rebooting your smartphone. And, I don't think I need to explain you the need to reset (forced reboot) your device once in a while. Let's find out how it works! First up, you have to press and hold down the On/Off button located on the right side of your iPhone.

While holding the On/Off button, you need to press and hold the volume down button located on the left side of your iPhone. Make sure to keep holding both buttons as the screen turns off and then turns back on and shows the Apple logo. With iOS 11, you can quickly restart your iPhone and iPad even without pressing buttons. Though you could get it done before through some roundabout ways, now it's become more straightforward. Check out this guide to get it done. Though the pressure sensitive Home button on iPhone 7 functions properly, at times it does go for a toss—especially when the weather is too cold. In spite of this little inconvenience, I’m pretty satisfied with this capacitive touch Home button on my iPhone. Do share your feedback with us in the comments below. Is it easier than before or has it become a bit difficult, I leave you to decide the verdict.

If all else has failed, you may need to restore your iPhone; if it won't restore normally, you'll need to put it into DFU mode. Turn Off your iPhone 7 if you haven't already done so. Plug in your iPhone 7 to your Mac or PC. Make sure iTunes is running on your Mac. Press and hold down the On/Off button on the right side of your device for 3 seconds. Press and hold down the volume down button on the left side of your iPhone 7 while still holding down the On/Off button. Keep holding both buttons down for 10 seconds. Let go of the On/Off Button but keep holding the volume down button for about 5 seconds. If the screen stays black, that's it! Your iPhone 7 should now be in DFU mode. At this point, iTunes should show you an alert saying it's detected your iPhone 7 and will allow it to be restored from scratch or a backup. Reminder: If you see any logos on your device, you might be in Recovery Mode, but you're not in DFU mode. If Recovery Mode works, great. If not, try for DFU Mode again.

DFU mode, short for Device Firmware Update, allows you to restore your iOS device from any state. When enabled, DFU mode allows your device to communicate with iTunes and prevents the boot loader and the OS from being loaded. Whether your device is jailbroken, stuck in a continuous bootloop, or in any other state where there is no solution, you can easily put it into DFU mode and restore. Nonetheless, you can still put your iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus into DFU mode or perform a hard reset. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how. Step 1: Connect your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus to your computer via Lightning cable. Step 2: Turn off your iPhone. To do this, press and hold the Power button and then slide to power off. Step 3: Open iTunes on your computer. Step 4: Press and hold the Power button on the right side of your iPhone for 3 seconds.
