Fortunately, you do not need to panic as this issue is usually correctable and does not mean that your phone is completely doomed.
If you do find that your phone is stuck with the Apple logo on proud display, try the following tips and tricks to help get it unstuck.
Why Is It Stuck on This Screen?
Before we jump into how to fix the issue, let’s talk about why the issue is happening. Here are some common reasons why your phone won’t progress past the Apple logo:
- Phone has been dropped and the interior components are messed up
- Phone has a software corruption issue
- Phone has liquid damage
- Corrupted files were transferred over to the phone
- Phone has been jailbroken
How to Move Past the Apple Logo
Here are some solutions for you to try the DIY approach to correcting the issue of your iPhone being stuck on the Apple logo.
Force a Restart of the Phone
One of the first things you should always try when your phone is acting up is a forced restart. In most cases, this will solve the problem for you as the phone will close anything that may be open and causing the problem. Force restarting your phone is quick, simple, and easy.
Device Firmware Update (DFU) Mode
If you find that a hard restart on the phone does not work, you can restore the phone through DFU mode. This will allow you to overwrite any incomplete or corrupted firmware and software. This solution is known to fix many problems that may arise with your device.
Reinstall the iOS
If you find that all other issues are not working, you may want to try to reinstall the iOS on your phone. It is possible that your iOS was corrupted during an update and that has led to this issue. To reinstall the iOS, you will need to connect your phone to iTunes and then enter recovery mode for the phone. Once there, you will need to click the update button to proceed.
Perform a Factory Reset
Okay, so you have tried quite a few different things and still are having no luck. The next solution to try would be a factory reset of the phone. Know that this will erase all data on the phone and wipe it clean, so you will want to make sure that you have saved any important information or any data that you do want from it. A factory reset will restore the phone back to its original factory settings.
Use a System Repair Program
If you continue to have issues, you can download a system repair program and try to run that on your phone. These programs are designed to assist you in repairing issues with your iPhone and may be able to help in this instance.
