If your Apple iPhone 7 is frozen and won’t turn off, here’s what you can try.
- Press and hold the “Sleep“/”Wake” button on the top of the device for about 10 seconds. See if the red slider eventually appears so that you can shut it off or force quit the offending app by pressing and holding the Home button.
- Press and hold the “Sleep“/”Wake” button and the “Volume Down“ button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Hopefully, the Apple logo will appear and the iPhone 7 will finally turn off.
Note: The “Sleep/Wake” button is located on the right side of the iPhone 7.
There have heard a few users report occasions where they’ve had to simply let the battery run all the way down before the device will work again. I’m afraid if the steps above don’t work, that is your last resort.
Thanks! It worked.

Thank you so much for the home button/volume down button trick! Fixed the problem immediately!
I have connected my iphone to PC and deleted couple of apps and some photos I have moved it to my desktop (cut paste). I think some memory got cleaned up. Then I am able to restart the device.
