How to turn on iPhone 12 pro max?
A single press of the Side button will turn on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The device may need charging if it doesn’t display the Apple logo. Connect it to an electrical outlet and let it charge for a few minutes, then try again. Once two sliding buttons appear on the screen, simultaneously hold down the Side button and the Volume Up or Volume Down button.
Turn on iPhone 12 Pro max Via AssistiveTouch
How about using a digital button if you’re looking for a more unconventional method? iOS 11 includes a convenient “Restart” feature within the AssistiveTouch accessibility feature. By choosing this option, you will be able to restart and shut down your iPhone almost instantly.
Make sure “AssistiveTouch” is enabled by going to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch. To restart, tap Device > More > Restart, then tap AssistiveTouch.
Activating or disabling AssistiveTouch can be sped up by switching on “AssistiveTouch” in Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then triple-clicking the Side button.
This way, you don’t have to go to settings every time you need it. If you want to be even faster, in the AssistiveTouch preferences, go to “Customize Top Level Menu,” tap “Custom,” then “Restart.” Instead of going through Device > More > Restart, it will be the first option.
Turn off iPhone 12 pro max with buttons
The “slide to power off” screen will never appear if you hold down the side button. You can instead use one of two methods to shut down the device using the side button.
- By holding down one or both Volume buttons at the same time, you’ll unlock the phone.
- As soon as the “slide to power off” bar appears, let go.
- Turn off your iPhone by swiping on the bar.
In the second option, you will find a slider for turning off the iPhone. Although it won’t display an emergency SOS bar, unlike the first method, you won’t have to worry about accidentally dialing 911 when using this method.
- Press and hold the Volume Up button.
- After pressing the Side button, hold it for a few seconds.
- When you see the “slide to power off” bar, let go.
- Turn off your iPhone by swiping on the bar.
Turn off iPhone 12 Pro Max from the Settings Menu
Know that you can trigger a shutdown right from Settings if you don’t want to mess around with buttons. Scroll down to the bottom of the “General” page in Settings. Slide your iPhone to turn it off by tapping “Shut Down,” followed by “Power Off”.
I’ve written additional guides under the “Turn On” category as well. This section tackle tasks such as “How To Turn On Speaker On iPhone,” “How to turn on hotspot on iPhone 11,” and more. If you’re keen on developing a more comprehensive understanding, I invite you to explore these guides more extensively.
Bonus Tip: How to Restart iPhone Using Voice Control?
Apple’s iOS 13 update overhauled the Voice Control feature. With accessibility, you can restart your iPhone by speaking commands rather than using Siri.
Make sure that Voice Control is enabled under Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control. If you are using Voice Control for the first time, tap “Set Up Voice Control,” then follow the set-up steps. Then, you can ask Siri to enable Voice Control if you’ve already enabled the feature in the past.
In order to reboot the device, all you need to do is speak “reboot device” when the blue microphone appears in the top left.
A pop-up with a confirmation prompt should appear when iOS displays the “Reboot device” command. You can restart your iPhone by tapping “Restart”.
