My iPhone Won’t Go Past the Apple Logo – What Should I Do?

Posted on: 03/15/2023

Okay, so you grab your phone, excited to tell your friend some good news, only to turn the phone on and find that it is stuck on the Apple logo. You try to restart the phone, but the problem continues to exist, and you cannot get past the logo. How frustrating! 

When you find that your iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo, you may be wondering just what the heck is going on. Below, we will present you with some reasons as to why the issue may be occurring and what you can do to fix it. It is important to remember that you should practice patience, even though it can be hard. Sometimes, it just takes time to get past the logo, but if it has been a long time, then the solutions below may work for you. 

Full Storage Capacity 

If you have received several warnings about full storage on your phone, well, here it is – the storage is full. When your phone’s storage is full, the phone is unable to function properly and does not have the minimum amount of storage needed to turn on, which is why it is stuck on the logo. 

To fix the issue, try this: 

  • Force restart your iPhone (you may need to do this a few times) 
  • If a forced restart does not work, you will need to reset the device 

Software Corruption 

If you have recently tried to update your phone or perform an action on it and the update or progress did not finish, you may run into a corrupted file. When a file or update has been corrupted, it will not work correctly and will cause issues with the functionality of your phone. Software corruption does happen, so do not be too alarmed if there was an error. 

To fix the issue, try this: 

  • Connect your phone to iTunes on the computer through your USB cable 
  • Enter iTunes 
  • Once on iTunes, you will receive a message that states there has been a problem with the iPhone and that you need to update or restore the device 
  • Update the phone first 
  • If the update does not work, you will need to restore the phone, but note that you will lose your phone’s data, so be sure to back it up first 

Issues with the Logic Board 

Your logic board is your phone’s hub for pretty much everything. It sends and receives signals or commands, and it is responsible for thinking for your phone. This important piece has many little components that can become damaged over time or due to environmental things that occur to the phone. 

Logic board damage can be a result of a drop, liquid damage, a short in the connections, and even rough use. If you can see the board when you open your phone, check to see if it has any physical damage such as loose parts, liquid damage, if it is bent, or if it has been burned. 

Some issues you may experience when your iPhone logic board is damaged include dot projector failure, issues with the phone detecting the battery, a boot loop, Face ID failure, and the phone not turning on at all.

If you notice any serious issues such as this, it is important to get the phone to an iPhone expert. You will likely need to have the board replaced. If your board can be salvaged, repairs can be made to it as well.
