Restart iphone 7 Plus - If you are an iPhone 7 owner, you may be wondering how to restart iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus because it doesn't have a clickable Home button. It turns out that iPhone 7 models don't need a pushable Home button to force restart the device, as they rely on volume buttons.

Let's review how to restart iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. This might be a little unusual at first if you're used to the old way of forcing rebooting another iOS device with the clickable Home button, but it's just as easy although it's a bit different.

How To Restart iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

1. Force restart the iPhone 7

A forced restart is not a traditional restart procedure for shutting down and restarting. A force restart is usually required when the device freezes or drops or is unresponsive. Some people mistakenly refer to it as a hard reset or hard reset or reset iPhone, but resetting the device is actually a factory reset which is not at all what a forced restart or hard reboot does.

2. Restart Power iPhone 7

Press and Hold VOLUME DOWN Button and Power Button to Initiate Power Restart

The Power button is located on the right side of the iPhone 7 device that looks directly at the glass face.

The Volume Down button is located on the left side of the iPhone 7 if you look at the glass screen.

All you need to do is hold Volume Down and Power at the same time to initiate the force startup process on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

3. Keep Holding Volume Down and Power Up Until You See the Apple Logo

Keep holding the Volume Down and Power buttons on the iPhone 7 until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.

After the Apple logo appears on the screen you can stop holding the buttons, the iPhone 7 has restarted successfully.

The main thing to remember is that by restarting the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (and possibly restarting future iPad and iPhone models too, which will definitely remove the traditional home button ...) is that instead of holding down the Home button, which is no longer clickable, you hold down the Volume Down button instead, which remains clickable. Usage of the power button remains the same.

It's different, but once you've rebooted your iPhone 7 this way a few times you'll learn a new habit. You'll almost certainly want to memorize it too, as iPhones are usually at the forefront of changes made to Apple's lineup, which suggests that all future iPhone and iPad hardware without the typical home click button will have the same mechanism for rebooting those devices.

For a simple iPhone 7 restart, you can still turn off the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and then boot them back up as usual.
