iPhone Black Screen of Death

“It goes like this. I always check my iPhone 13 within five minutes of waking up but this time the screen is completely black. I hold down the lock and home button multiple times but is of no use. Immediately I kept my phone on the charger and fortunately, it turned on but is stuck on the Apple logo for like 4 hours and nothing else. There’s more to it, I don’t have any backup of my phone and have some important documents and pictures in it. Can someone suggest to me how to fix the iPhone black screen of death but more importantly, how can I recover my data?”

-Anthony Aldo

In this particular case, there are two issues to be resolved.

  • To fix iPhone black screen of death
  • To recover all files

Black screen in iPhone arises due to software or hardware issues. Firmware modifications, dropping the iPhone on the surface, iOS upgrade/downgrade, jailbreaking it, etc., are some of the common incidents that lead to black screen errors. But these 5 effective solutions can definitely fix the iPhone black screen of death error effectively.

Five Troubleshooting steps to Fix iPhone Black Screen of Death:

  • Drained Battery
  • Crashed App
  • Force restart your iPhone to fix the iPhone black screen of death
  • Restore iPhone in iTunes
  • Hardware fault

Method 1: Drained battery

One of the reasons why your iPhone is stuck on black screen could be due to the drained battery. Connect your iPhone to a power adapter and then press the ‘Home’ button, wait for a few minutes till the icon appears.

Method 2: Crashed App

If the screen went black just after launching a particular app, then that app is the cause of the problem. To fix black screen of death, quickly press the ‘Home’ button twice, then swipe the screen left or right to see a list of recent apps. Swipe on that particular app to close it, and press the ‘Home’ button again to return to the home screen. Now, launch that app to check whether the issue is resolved or not.

If the issue repeats, contact the app developer (Apple support).

Method 3: Force restart your iPhone

Follow these steps to force restart your iPhone to fix the issue:

For iPhone 7/7 Plus and above: Press and hold the power and volume button for a few seconds until the Apple icon appears.

For other iOS devices: Press the Power and Home button for at least 10 seconds until the logo appears.

After the reboot, the black screen will disappear.

Method 4: Restore your iPhone via iTunes

You can restore your iPhone to Factory Settings via iTunes but doing so might wipe out all data. If you have a backup, then you’re good to go else you need to consider an iPhone data recovery software to recover lost data after the reset.

Follow these steps to reset your iPhone:

  1. Connect your iPhone to the system and launch iTunes
  2. Head to the Summary tab and click Restore iPhone
  3. Proceed by clicking Restore. iTunes will fix the iPhone black screen of death error but will also erase its data

      Hi Courtney,
      We are sorry to hear about the condition of your iPhone XR. As you mentioned, if you cannot do a Force Restart where an Apple Logo screen appears, it seems more like a hardware issue than software. However, you can try our software- “Stellar Toolkit for iPhone” which can eventually repair the iOS of your device.
      If unsure, you may refer to this here from Apple Support for such an instance.
      I hope you get it worked up again.

      Hi Jeremy, It happens, maybe to calibration defect or perhaps due to dust and moisture after prolonged use.
      1. Open an app. Any default iOS app.
      2. Hold the Sleep/Wake button (Power)
      3. Now press and hold the home button till the slide goes away and you get to the home screen.
      (Now you’ll notice that the app is closed) For button you need to enable accessibility Assistive Touch.
      If you have the same issue, contact the nearest iPhone store.
