How To Power Off & Force Restart An iPhone 13
The process to turn off or force restart an iPhone 13 isn't exactly intuitive, especially for users switching from an Android phone or upgrading from an older iPhone model. On the iPhone 8 and earlier, Apple had a relatively simple process for powering off which involved long-pressing the side button until the Power Off slider appeared. It's a similar process on most Android phones. When Apple swapped out the Home button / Touch ID sensor in favor of Face ID on the iPhone X, it also changed the way users could power off their devices.
Apple doesn't provide an option to restart an iPhone and requires users to manually turn it on after it's switched off. However, there is an option to force restart an iPhone (also called a hard reset). A force restart may be required if the iPhone is frozen or unresponsive. If the device can't be powered off the usual way, a force restart can usually solve the problem. It's important to note that when an iPhone is forced to restart, it doesn't shut down the way it should. As a result, this action should only be performed if really required. Force restarting an iPhone too often can cause problems in the long run.
