Similar to iPhone 11 and iPhone 12, Apple’s iPhone 13 lineup features Face ID and comes without the Home button. The power button has also been replaced with the new Side button on newer iPhones. The Side button on the right side of the iPhone activates Siri when you press and hold it. As a result, the method to power off or restart an iPhone X or later using physical buttons is entirely different. Whereas on iPhone 8 or earlier, one can simply press and hold the power key to switch off the device.

Perhaps, if you’re coming from iPhone 8 or older then you might find it difficult to turn off iPhone 13. Worry not! In this quick guide, we will cover different ways that you can use to switch off or power off your iPhone 13. Besides, there is a trick to shut down and restart iPhone 13 without the power button in case it is broken or not working.

To turn on the iPhone 13, just press and hold the Side button for a few seconds. The device will switch back on and the Apple logo will appear on the screen.

Without power button

There is a hidden setting in iOS to shut down an iPhone or iPad without the physical buttons. This way you can easily shut down your iPhone without using the combo of Side and Volume buttons. It is helpful when the Side button isn’t working or when you are using the device with one hand. Surprisingly, not many iPhone users are aware of the virtual Shut Down option.

To turn off your iPhone 13 without the power button,

  1. Go to Settings > General.
  2. Under General, scroll down to the bottom and tap “Shut Down“.
