My wife’s iPhone 16 Pro is not turning on. Several times I have had to push the top volume, bottom volume and then hold the right power button until the Apple came on. And it took much longer than 10 seconds and instead of it coming on by itself, the Apple would show only after I held and released the power button. Did she get a lemon or are others having this problem? She gets a new phone every year so this is not an operator error.

This happened again to my wife's iPhone 16 Pro. She could never get it to start. I tried 3 or 4 times with the force restart and it again would not start. I then plugged it in as a last resort, did the force restart a few time and finally it started. The battery was at 100%. It took quite a long time holding the start button after the volume up and down buttons for it to finally start. I will do a force restart on my iPhone occasionally and it never takes that long. She has had almost every iPhone since the 3G, so this is definitely not operator error.
I am responding here in hopes that it gets pushed to the top of iPhone questions in hopes that others may either respond that they too are having this issue and what the resolution is.
I guess that rules out a possible theory 😢
Ive just woken to the same issue! Im on holiday and need my phone! did you get yours sorted?
I’ve seen your reply and it’s brilliant that it eventually turned on, but it’s so worrying when it happens, I just wish Apple would fix this problem from happening in the first place
This happened to me twice. Why can’t apple fix it. Very frustrating and a waste of money.
My 16 Pro died also. I guess we should have read the fine print that says the new phones are only good for 3 weeks. Yikes!
I have a 16 pro, and I have not had this glitch, but I bought my iPhone at atnt, not the Apple Store
This is currently happening to me….. iPhone 16 pro max
I had exactly the same issue. I found this video that solved the issue. I had to repeat that cycle several times and it worked for me.

I can’t turn on my phone and I’ve done everything you said
Same thing happened to me. I bought this phone 4 days ago. Did you ever find a fix?
Did you ever find a solution? This is happening to my phone after 4 days.

The hard reset and it may take several times over and over to power on until Apple fixes it!
Lilisbuddy, your question about if phones are turned off and charged at night? Yes, we always turn off at night and charge then.
Hi just wondering what the technique was Apple Store suggested?
