It is no secret that an iPhone’s power button is one of the most essential parts, which means it may become damaged or stop working altogether. There are a variety of ways to repair it; for a quicker solution try pressing and quickly releasing both “Volume Down” and “Power” simultaneously until the Apple logo appears on screen before holding both buttons until they light up again.
If your phone’s power button is no longer functioning as intended, a replacement cable could help restore functionality and give it a more solid feel. These replacement cables can be purchased online through eBay or local electronics stores; or an alternative would be purchasing an entirely new battery to replace what may already exist in your phone.
Your power button could be malfunctioning due to a defective Taptic Engine. In such an instance, contact Apple and see if they can provide a replacement part for your iPhone. Furthermore, try restoring your iPhone back to factory settings should the power button fail completely.
To enter DFU mode, press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until your screen goes black – this indicates DFU mode has been entered and iTunes can then restore your iPhone from here.

Use the Bedtime Switch to limit calls and notifications until a specified time of day, perfect for those having trouble sleeping at night, as well as those who frequently glance at their phones throughout the day. This feature may also help those prone to checking them too often!

While some users might find the lack of a Home button annoying, its absence comes with many advantages. iPhone owners can navigate their device using gestures and Face ID to navigate between apps or unlock their phone without using a physical button. Furthermore, Touch ID sensor is located at the bottom edge of display and can be activated either by swiping up from bottom edge or saying ‘Hey Siri.”

Raise to Wake, Apple’s default unlock gesture on iOS devices, can become very irritating if you use VoiceOver. It will wake your iPhone every time it moves around or even moves in your bag or purse; in order to disable it completely go into Settings/Accessibility/Touch and turn off.
iOS 12 now includes a Bedtime Switch that makes setting calls and notifications unavailable easier than ever before. When activated, Lock screen dimming and blackout occur at predetermined times to silence calls while sending notifications directly to Notification Center – also providing you with a notification letting you know when this feature will end.
If you’re tired of the same old iPhone design or simply wish to experiment, jailbreaking can provide the chance to add features you prefer. One such third-party app, LetMeDecline by developer P2Kdev can allow you to bypass full screen incoming call interface with dedicated Decline and Answer buttons; this can be especially helpful for users having difficulty using swipe-to-answer feature or those concerned about accidentally activating emergency 911 calling feature in public places.
