How do I turn on my iPhone SE?

Published in iPhone Basics 2 mins read

To turn on your iPhone SE, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button (also known as the power button) until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Steps to Turn On Your iPhone SE:

  1. Locate the Sleep/Wake Button: This button is located on the top (iPhone SE 1st generation) or the right side (iPhone SE 2nd & 3rd generation) of your iPhone SE.

  2. Press and Hold: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.

  3. Wait for the Apple Logo: Continue holding the button until you see the Apple logo appear in the center of the screen. This indicates that your iPhone is starting up.

  4. Release the Button: Once the Apple logo appears, you can release the Sleep/Wake button.

  5. Wait for Startup: Your iPhone will now complete the startup process. This may take a few seconds.

  6. Unlock Your iPhone (If Applicable): Once started, you may need to unlock your iPhone. This will depend on your security settings. The screen will either prompt you to:

    • Press the Home Button: (On older models with a Home button) Press the Home Button again to unlock the phone.
    • Swipe Up From the Bottom: (On newer models without a Home button, if applicable)

Additional Information

  • If your iPhone SE doesn't turn on: Make sure it's charged. Plug it into a power source and let it charge for at least 15-30 minutes before attempting to turn it on again.
  • If your iPhone SE is frozen: You may need to force restart it. Refer to Apple's support documentation for instructions on how to force restart your specific iPhone SE model.
  • If the Apple logo appears and then disappears: This could indicate a software issue. You may need to restore your iPhone.
