Is your iPhone frozen, glitching, or just plain stubborn? Don't panic! Before you resort to factory resets, try the trusty hard restart. Think of it as giving your iPhone a quick power nap to clear its head.
The method varies slightly depending on your iPhone model:
* **iPhone 8 and later (including iPhone SE 2nd & 3rd gen):** Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Then, press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
* **iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:** Press and hold both the Side (or Top) button and the Volume Down button until you see the Apple logo.
* **iPhone 6s and earlier (including iPhone SE 1st gen):** Press and hold both the Home button and the Side (or Top) button until you see the Apple logo.
Once the Apple logo appears, release the buttons. Your iPhone will restart, hopefully resolving the issue. A hard restart is a safe and effective first step in troubleshooting most iPhone problems. If problems persist, further diagnostics might be needed.
