How to turn on an iPhone that has run out of battery and is completely dead
The iPhone is one of Apple’s superior products whose quality is guaranteed. Many smartphone users prefer the iPhone as their main communication tool.
Even though this smartphone is only equipped with a small battery capacity which causes the iPhone battery to waste, it turns out it’s not a problem for iPhone users, they still buy it.
It is not uncommon for iPhone users to experience the battery running out and completely dying when used outside, resulting in the iPhone being difficult to turn on again because it doesn’t have the slightest power to activate it.
Running out of battery is a habit that often occurs among iPhone users, this happens because the battery on the iPhone runs out quickly.
Turning on an iPhone that is completely dead is quite a serious problem, several attempts to activate it, such as pressing the power button many times, can’t turn it on.
So how do you overcome this?
No need to worry, because here I will share tips and how to turn on a dead iPhone because it ran out of battery.
Curious about how? Just take a look at the full explanation below.
How to Turn On an iPhone Running Out of Battery
Incidents of the iPhone completely shutting down often occur on older iPhone series, such as the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s and iPhone 6. Because the older iPhone series had a small battery capacity, and the battery management was not as good as the current version of the iPhone.
Here are some tricks or ways to turn on an iPhone that has run out of battery.
1. Charge the iPhone battery with the original charger
The first step you can take is to charge the iPhone battery properly. Use the original adapter and cable (which came with the iPhone) or you can use another cable but it must be MFi certified.
When the charger is connected to the iPhone, the battery charging process should occur with the iPhone turning on, displaying a battery charging animation.
Wait a while until the iPhone battery is sufficiently charged, maybe 5-10 minutes. If you think it’s enough, try turning on the iPhone.
2. Use an iPad charger
When some iPhones are completely dead, they sometimes cannot charge the battery with the default charger, either because the power provided is insufficient or something else.
Well, maybe you can try charging your iPhone battery using an iPad charger.
Why iPad? Because the iPad charger has a larger output than the iPhone charger, the iPhone can receive power to the battery.
If the iPhone is successfully turned on, immediately replace it using the default charger to fully charge the battery.
3. Connect the iPhone to a PC that has iTunes installed
Have you tried charging the battery with various types of chargers but the iPhone still won’t turn on? Another way you can try is connecting your iPhone to a laptop or computer that has the iTunes application installed.
You have to try this method. If your iPhone is having problems then the iTunes application will detect the iPhone error.
Usually the iTunes application will provide a notification to restore iOS on the iPhone. Yes, just do it, who knows, it might turn on.
4. Perform a Hard Restart iPhone
The fourth way is to do hard restart or force restart the iPhone. Don’t worry, this method is not dangerous and no data will be deleted on your iPhone.
I have discussed restarting for all iPhone series in full in the previous article, if it is discussed here I think it would be too long.

5. Take it to the nearest iPhone flashlight service
The final step that must be followed is to take your favorite iPhone to a special iPhone service center or you can also go to the nearest cell phone counter, as long as the technician really understands iPhone machines (but it is not recommended).
Tell the technician why your iPhone died. If you later check that there are problematic parts such as a damaged IC, you must be willing to spend money to repair it.
The reason the iPhone won’t turn on is because it can’t charge the battery
1. Damaged Charger Port
If the charger port is damaged, the iPhone cannot turn on, because the iPhone does not receive battery power when it is charged.
2. Water ingress
Even though the iPhone is equipped with advanced features such as waterproof (water resistant), but it is not completely safe when exposed to water. So if your iPhone dies because it gets water, the internal engine parts could be damaged.
3. iPhone OS Crashes
Some iPhone users have experienced crashes in their operating system. Even though iOS is famous for its sophisticated operating system, it is still a technology that is bound to experience errors (bugs). To solve this, just restart the iPhone.
4. KW Adapter and Cable
Unlike smartphones in general, iPhones really need to use quality adapters and data cables. If you use a cheap charger, your iPhone could be further damaged due to poor battery charging.
5. Defective Battery
An old battery could be one of the reasons your iPhone dies and can’t be turned on again. You have to be willing to spend money to replace a new iPhone battery.
The final word
Those are a few tips that I can give on how to turn on an iPhone that is completely dead because it has run out of battery.
The capacity of an iPhone is indeed smaller compared to an Android cellphone. Therefore, you as an iPhone user must bring a charger and power bank in case your iPhone battery is low.
