A coworker recently purchased an iPhone. The other day he had something happen that I’m sure most users have experienced. The iPhone freezes, and you can’t do anything. You can push the home or sleep/wake button and nothing happens. He wasn’t sure how to get it working again. So here’s a quick tutorial on how to hard reset your iPhone.
First press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time – just like in the picture above. Keep holding the buttons and your iPhone screen should go black in a second or two. Keep holding the buttons until the Apple logo appears on your screen – then release the buttons. That’s it. Your phone will reboot and should work fine again. It’s that simple.
