  • How to switch off iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max

    Ever get that “need to restart” feeling with your shiny new iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max? Apple’s made it super easy to power down, and today I’m going to cover how to switch off iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max using three different methods.

    How to turn off iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max

    Method 1: The Classic Button Combo

    This one’s for the old-school iPhone users (like me!).

    • Step 1: Press and hold the Side button and either the Volume Up or Volume Down button simultaneously.
    • Step 2: Keep holding those buttons until the “slide to power off” screen appears.
    • Step 3: Slide that power icon to the right, and your iPhone will shut down.

    To turn it back on, just press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo graces your screen.

    Method 2: Control Center Quick Shutdown

    iOS 18 and later have this nifty trick up their sleeve:

    • Step 1: Open your Control Center (swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen).
    • Step 2: Spot that little power icon? Tap and hold it.
    • Step 3: The “slide to power off” option will pop up. Slide to shut down!

    Method 3: Using Siri

    For the hands-free approach, Siri’s got your back:

    • Step 1: Activate Siri (say “Hey Siri” or long-press the Side button).
    • Step 2: Simply say “Power off my iPhone.”

    If you prefer typing, double-tap the bottom edge of your screen to bring up the keyboard, then type “Power off.” You’ll get a confirmation prompt before your iPhone shuts down.

    Bonus Tip: If your Side button isn’t working, don’t panic! Plug your iPhone into a charger using a USB cable. It’ll restart automatically.

    That’s it! Three simple ways to turn off your iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max. Hopefully, this helps you out. Don’t forget to share this with your friends and leave a comment if you have any other cool iPhone tips!
