We have found out that when your iPhone battery gets to zero, it will automatically get switched off and won’t get turned on even if you try many times.
So connect your iPhone to the charger and keep it charging for around 30 minutes or more to get charged at least 30%. After that, press and hold the power button and volume up buttons of your iPhone to check whether the iPhone is turning on or not.
TIPS:
- Check whether you are using a third-party-bought charger cable. If yes, please replace it with Apple authorized lightning cable and charger adapter and then charge it.
- If the charging port of your iPhone is damaged or filled with dust, it might throw such problems which prevent charging the iPhone battery. So take a clean cloth and wipe the charging port to remove any dust particles and then try charging.
If it still does not get charged, you have to contact the Apple support team to get it repaired.
