If your iPhone 11 Pro Max is acting strangely, such as laggy when you swipe between pages or turning black out of nowhere, forcing it to shut down may be necessary. To do this, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears; this method will reset without losing data. If this does not help, attempt updating wirelessly using iTunes, otherwise connect directly to a computer via USB to download and install latest software update via iTunes.
iPhone 11 series devices and their associated Apple Watch tend to randomly freeze due to recent iOS 13 updates, if your device has been randomly freezing up regularly or you are having difficulty turning off, try one of the following fixes to reset it – you should notice an improvement in performance after rebooting it.
- Press and hold the Volume Down button for a few seconds.
If your phone keeps freezing or becoming stuck on a black screen, try holding down the Volume Down button for several seconds; this should turn off your device and help alleviate the problem.
If you own an iPhone 15 Pro (and Pro Max), its physical volume buttons may no longer operate in the same manner as before. Apple has apparently changed their design of these volume/mute buttons so they no longer physically press in; instead they use haptic feedback to simulate pressing them instead.
Apple introduced QuickTake mode to their 2018 iPhone models (XR, XS and XS Max) that allows for continuous burst photography when pressing and holding down on the camera shutter button – and releasing to stop taking images. Furthermore, iOS 13 adds support for invoking it by pressing and holding down on physical volume down button instead, something older models don’t offer.
If your iPhone keeps freezing up on you, pressing and holding the Volume Down button for several seconds could force it off. If this does not help, a hard reboot may be required.
- Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds.
Last week’s event may not have featured any “One More Thing”, but Apple insider Sonny Dickson recently revealed that their iPhone 11 Pro and Max have bilateral wireless charging hardware that is disabled within software.
Wireless charging features built into iPhones that enable other devices to wirelessly charge are widely anticipated to play an integral role in driving the success of Apple’s recently unveiled AirPods wireless cases at this event. Though not an obscure secret per se; wireless charging features have existed within various software builds for months now; most users simply are unaware as it lies deep within iPhone settings.
Every customer who purchases an iPhone 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max will be offered complimentary Personal Setup in-store or online to customise their new phone by transferring data from old devices, wiping their old iPhone, setting up email addresses and more. In addition, AppleCare+ extends limited warranty protection while giving priority access to technical support around-the-clock.
