Is your iPhone not doing what its supposed to do and acting all Funky?



Sometimes Apple's iOS software does some funky things. Wifi stops working, Apps wont install, Cell signal is out, or a hundred other annoying small glitches. You may think that it's time to replace your phone, but is it really? You see these little glitches crop up now and then, but most of the time there is a simple fix. Its called a hard reset.....it's kinda like when you go on a relaxing vacation and come back all refreshed and ready to move forward in your world. A hard reset will not erase your phone or change your settings. It only resets the software in your phone and clears the cache so that hopefully your phone will come back refresed and ready to correclty run its software. 

Different generations of iphones have different ways to achieve this reset. The iPhones and iPads with mechanical home buttons can be reset by holding the power button and the home button until the phone shuts off, then in about 1 second, release the power button and continue to hold the home button until the Apple logo reappears. DO NOT LET GO until you see the Apple logo (and this goes for all of the following gererations as well). The iPhone 7 reset is achieved by holding the power button and the volume down button until the logo appears. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, X, XS MAX, iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12 series, and iPhone 13 series reset is achieved by pressing and releasing the volume up, then the same for volume down , then hold the power button (the single button on the right which controls the screen off or on) until the logo appears. Now if you fail to release the power button within a few seconds of the logo reappearing, you will put your phone in to DFU mode (a mode for reprogramming your device). If this happens simply restart the hard reset procedure and this time, release the side button when the logo appears..

Hopefully this help. And here is a pro tip: We have on many occasion fixed iPhones that had frozen or black screens with this method. Every once in a while you should perform the hard reset on your phone just to send him/her/they/them on a vacation. Let us know how it went for you.
