It is possible that some of you have happened: after updating or restoring iPhone, for some reason the device turns off and appears with the frozen apple logo on the device screen. What happens is that the moment we turn on the iPhone, the computer has to go through a series of processes before it is fully operational (all of this is done while we see the Apple logo on the screen. ).
If the phone does not exceed the logo, it means that it is possible that something is wrong with the system boot processes. This situation can be relatively common, so here are some tips to follow if at any time this happens to you.
What to do to make your iPhone pass the apple logo
First of all, if your iPhone has been on the Apple logo for a few minutes without moving forward, you should try force restart the device. To do this, you need to follow these recommendations:

- iPhone 7/7 Plus: Press and hold the lock button while pressing the volume down button.
- iPhone 4 / 4s / 5 / 5s / 6 / 6s: Press and hold the lock button along with the home button.
Use Finder or iTunes to resolve the issue
If you restart the device and the problem persists, we recommend use Finder to solve it. Keep in mind that for multiple versions of macOS, you need to use Finder to sync your iPhone (iTunes is always used on Windows). What you need to do is follow these steps:
-
Open Finder on your Mac (or iTunes on one with Windows) and connect the frozen iPhone using a USB cable.

If Finder or iTunes on Windows doesn’t recognize your iPhone, you need to put it in recovery mode. For this, we recommend that you connect the device to the computer. While the device is connected, you should force it to restart by following these steps, but don’t release the buttons when you see the Apple logo, as you have to wait until the Connect to iTunes screen appears:
-
On a Face ID, iPhone SE, or iPhone 8: Quickly press and release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Then press and hold the side button until the Connect to iTunes screen is displayed.
