How to Power Off iPhone 12

Powering off your iPhone 12 may seem like a simple task, but with the removal of the physical home button, it can be a bit confusing for some users. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to power off your iPhone 12 using the software options available.

Step 1: Access the Side Button

To begin, locate the side button on your iPhone 12. This button is located on the right side of the device.

Step 2: Press and Hold the Side Button with Volume Up or Down Button

To power off your iPhone 12, press and hold the side button along with either volume up or volume down button simultaneously for a few seconds.

Note: The volume up and volume down buttons are located just below the side button on your iPhone 12.

Step 3: Wait for Slide to Power Off Option

After holding both buttons for a few seconds, you will see a slider appear on the screen with the message “Slide to power off”.

  • If using AssistiveTouch:
    • If you have enabled AssistiveTouch on your device, tap on “Device”.
    • Then tap and hold “Lock Screen” until you see “Slide to Power Off”.
  • If not using AssistiveTouch:
    • If you are not using AssistiveTouch, continue holding both buttons until you see “Slide to Power Off”.

Step 4: Slide to Power Off

Swipe the slider from left to right with your finger to power off your iPhone 12.

Note: If you change your mind and decide not to power off your device, you can simply tap on the “Cancel” button at the bottom of the screen.

Step 5: Wait for Device to Power Off

Once you have initiated the power off process, wait for a few seconds for your iPhone 12 to completely turn off. You will see a blank screen and no activity on the device.
