Crazy question? How do you turn off an iPhone?

[skiltrip]

Can you actually turn OFF an iPhone? What I mean is, all my old-school dumb phones, you can just turn them off. There was no sleep mode, etc. You turned them on when you wanted to use them, and if you wanted it off, you turned it off.

I see there is a sleep/wake button on the iPhone. Is that the same as an on/off button. For example, when it's in sleep, and a call comes in, does it wake up and ring? I'd expect it would. So is there a way to shut the iPhone off?

Hold the power button down for a few seconds and get the slide to power off screen. Viola, it is truly powered off and not in standby/sleep mode.

hold the top button

Hold down the sleep button for a couple seconds, and then slide the red thing to power off.

Hold the standby button and an option will appear at the top.

You hold down the off button for a few seconds and it will prompt you to turn it off.


Edit: Oh well you will probably get a lot of answers on this one. 🙂

Hold down the sleep/wake button for a couple seconds. Then swipe. Phone is now off

I blend mine.

Just kidding, I hate those videos already.

Seriously, did we need 10 responses detailing the same action?

Man this guy has an old iPod too.. So I assume he never knew how to hold the play button to turn it off

You can also hold the sleep/wake button and home button to force the phone to turn off. Useful when the phone isn't responding.

When the phone is asleep (when you tap the sleep/wake button), calls will obviously come in; your screen doesn't have to be on to receive calls...

At least you get points for the most original response up until that point. Thanks for being so helpful! 🙄

Why don't you get the damn phone then ask if you can't figure it out...

Judging from all the iPhone lust around here, there's probably a lot of that going on. lol.
