Broken Screen, Can't slide the slider to turn it off

All of this didn't work for me.

First of all : The trick about simultaneously pressing Home and Power buttons will potentially restart your iPhone 6, not reset it as many posters here says. I'm not a native English speaker but for me there's an immense difference between those two words. The word "reset" to me implies that something is lost (settings), while the word "restart" doesn't mean that. Bottom line: Don't be afraid of this procedure. You won't loose anything.

Anyway: here's what worked for me: The thing is that is is not at first black screen where you need to release the two buttons immediately, it is at the second black screen. Capice?

Do like this:

1. Press Home and Power buttons simultaneously and hold them
2. Screen will go black after some seconds. (continue to hold the buttons)
3. Screen will show Apple logo after some more seconds (continue to hold the buttons)
4. Screen will go black after some more seconds. Now you must immediately release those buttons.
5. The phone is now turned off.

All together you need to wait a considerable amount of time. Perhaps something like 30 seconds.

Hello light up the screen then hold power and home button together til the screen shuts off then let go of the button immediately.

The device will now be turned off

What I usually do, in an instance like that, because I'm already going inside the phone anyways. I just remove the battery cover plate, and disconnect the battery

Since there's two people asking two questions that are pretty much the same. Here's the i6 manual

Hold the home and power button at the same time until the screen turns black.'but when it does, don't continue to hold the buttons or else the device will reset

ok i know this is an old thread but since this issue happened to me just today and i found a better way to actually turn off the darn thing, and it's better because you don't have to mess around with the hardware like open the phone or anything like that. so i thought i'd share with the whole wide world.

first off, like one user said, if the darn screen is black, it's kinda hard to gauge whether or not you let go of the button fast enough to avoid a reset. so how to avoid said reset and still manage to turn off this POS?

simple:

1- open iTunes on your computer

2- connect phone to computer

3- wait for iTunes to recognize phone is connected

4- backup freakin' POS phone

5- follow above mentioned turn-off procedures, namely hold down HOME and on/off button AND here PAY ATTENTION:

--> the phone will disappear from iTunes device list

therefore, AS SOON AS the iphone disappears from the iTunes device list, release both phone buttons--you have now turned off your phone without accidentally resetting it.

as for me, Apple annoyed me off so much, i am done with them and my next phone will be a Nexus or HTC Android device.

there is a simple solution to this one! when repairing a phone in which the screen is destroyed,

1st) open the phone as if the screen were off and you were preparing to take off the lcd/screen

2nd) rather than taking off the screen, first remove the battery connector from the logic board.

as long as there is no power getting to the lcd, the screen repair can be done. Also, sometimes if the battery percentage is low before the repair and you have to unplug the battery, it will take a while (i've had upwards of 45minutes) to turn back on once the repair is complete.

Press the power and home button until the screen turns black, as soon as it does, release the home button, but continue holding the power button. The apple logo will appear for about 3-4 seconds, as soon as the screen goes black again, release the power button. iphone is now shut down.

I have a black screen. The phone was accidently dropped for only 2 seconds into a half-cup of water last night. To even have half a chance of saving it, it should be turned off and put in rice or perhaps silica. I thought the phone was off (hard to tell when the screen is BLACK). Put it in a zip lock bag full of silica gel paks. Pulled it out a few minutes ago and it was horribly hot. SO the power / home button thing is useless, obviously. How can you tell if it's powered off or if it's not?

Again, I don't WANT it to reset. I want it off. All responses I've seen are trying to reset and turn the phone back on. I think the OP (and myself) want to be able to turn it off.

It's probably ruined now anyway, since it never powered off. :-(

Just like what they said, hold the power and home screen button, until it turns black, Then it will reset.

Hold down your power button and your home button until you see the Apple logo. Then it should come back on. Hope this helps!

hold the power button on the top or side and the home button simultaneously your screen will turn black.

don't hold on for too long because it will reset your phone

hold the power off button and the home button, until screen goes black then release or will restart the phone

I actually have this problem soon after I upgraded to iOS 11, the touch is not responding at all. After a few trials, I was able to switch off the phone successfully. Here is what you should you. Open iTunes on your laptop or Mac then connect your phone via USB and then press Home button and Power button simultaneously until the phone gets into the restoring mode. As the phone enters in restoring mode, disconnect the USB cable and then simply hold the power button to switch it off.
