Connect the phone to a charger and give it sufficient enough time before you try to switch it on. Also, make sure to use your original Apple charger at all costs. After about 15 minutes, give it a shot and see whether recharging has fixed the issue; if not, let’s move on to the second step.

Force restart

There is a handful of reasons why an iPhone doesn’t restart; the black screen is one such reason. Your smartphone can stick on a black screen because of erroneous apps and system failures. To overcome this frustrating occurrence, first, you have to connect the phone to a charger as you did in the previous step. Then try to force restart the iPhone XR while it is getting recharged.

This is how you perform a force restart on iPhone XR

First, press and release the volume up button while it is in connection with the charger. Then, immediately press and release the volume down. Finally, press and hold the side button (power) of the iPhone XR until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

A force restart is the simplest of remedies for the Apple iPhone XR black screen issue and this particular problem. You don’t have to worry about the stored data on your phone as there is no impact created by a force restart on your valuable data.

Restore iPhone XR in iTunes

If your iPhone XR won’t turn on even after a full recharge and force restart, it is an indication that your device is experiencing a complex issue with its system. That is why we suggest you opt for a system restore. This isn’t a Himalayan task; all you need is the latest version of iTunes on your Mac or Windows computer.

Then, press the power on button of your smartphone. Please don’t release the power button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen.

Then, all the data of your phone will get wiped along with the errors, and you can opt for a previous backup or start using the phone as a new one.

DFU mode restore

DFU mode restore is the most advanced restore option available for iOS. If your iPhone XR won’t turn on even after you perform the above method, this is the solution you have to try. Here is how you execute it.
