Why is my iPhone stuck on Black Screen with Apple Logo?
The Apple logo on your iPhone is probably causing you to wonder what caused the problem. You are less likely to repeat a problem if you understand the catalyst. You might be stuck on the Apple logo on your iPhone’s Home screen for some of the most common reasons.
An upgrade
When you upgrade to iOS 15, you may notice that your iPhone gets stuck on the Apple logo. The most common cause of this is trying to install the latest iOS on an older phone.
Your phone was jailbroken
Your iPhone can become stuck on the Apple logo after you have attempted the jailbreak process whether you performed it yourself or took it to a technician.
When you restore from iTunes
After restoring your iPhone from iTunes or iCloud, it can become stuck on the Apple screen.
Through an update or restore
For a variety of reasons, we all need to update or restore our iPhones semi-regularly. Your iPhone can get stuck on the Apple logo screen when installing an update or performing a regular restore.
Hardware issues
Your iPhone may also suffer some internal hardware damage. Your iPhone may be stuck on the Apple logo if you accidentally dropped it or made it experience liquid damage.
The iPhone has been damaged physically
You have likely damaged your iPhone’s internal hardware if you dropped it. Your iPhone may be unable to reboot as a result, leading to the Apple screen of death!
Try Some Ways to fix iPhone Stuck on Black Screen with Apple Logo
Here are some ways you can try to solve this issue.
Way 1: Force Restart your iPhone
The hard reset solution might be new to you, or maybe you’ve heard it’s a waste of time. You should at least try it before you judge it. Hard resetting your phone is quick, easy, and often more effective than you think.
Hard resetting an iPhone 6S or earlier:
- Press and hold the power and home buttons simultaneously for up to 10 seconds until the phone restarts
- Hard resetting the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:
- By holding the volume down button and the side button simultaneously
Hard resetting an iPhone 8 or newer:
- Hold down the side button while pressing and releasing the volume up and volume down buttons
- You may notice that your phone’s screen flashes after performing the hard reset, or it may just go dark. It may automatically reset, or you might have to press the power button to restart it. If so, the boot loop issue should be resolved.
Way 2: Put your iPhone in Recovery Mode
Whenever your iPhone stops at the white Apple logo and doesn’t move, it means that it gets stuck during startup and needs to be restarted.
If a force restart didn’t fix the issue and your iPhone is still unresponsive, you’ll need to perform a recovery mode restore. This puts your iPhone into a state where it can be repaired and restored.
In cases where a factory reset is incapable of resolving major system flaws, a recovery mode restore is usually the next recommended procedure.

- To turn the phone off or on, press and hold the volume down and on/off buttons at the same time for ten seconds.
