So, before we get started,
let's familiarize ourselves with the three buttons
that we'll be using throughout this tutorial.
You have the Side button,
which is located on the right side of the display,
it looks like this.
And then on the opposite side,
you have the two volume buttons: volume up and volume down.
And you'll press those buttons in various combinations
throughout this tutorial.
So, first of all,
let's cover one of the most essential basics,
powering off your iPhone 13.
So, to do so,
all you need to do is press and hold the Side button,
which is on the right side of the display right here,
along with one of the volume buttons,
either volume up or volume down;
doesn't matter which,
you just press and hold both simultaneously
at the same time like this.
And after just a few seconds,
you'll see this with Slide to Power Off at the top.
So, all you do is slide to power off, just like that.
Now, powering on your iPhone 13 is even simpler.
All you need to do is press and hold the Side button
until you see the Apple logo.
Now, if you don't see the Apple logo after a little bit,
that probably either means your iPhone is dead
and you need to charge the battery.
Also, it could be possible that your phone is in DFU Mode,
but that is extremely unlikely,
unless you obviously put your phone in a DFU Mode,
and we'll talk about that a little bit later.
Now, let me show you another way to power off your iPhone.
Open up the Settings app, tap General,
and then you choose the Shut Down option
at the bottom of the General section.
So, there you go.
Now, you just simply slide to power off.
So, no finger gymnastics necessary with that method.
Now, if you don't take anything else from this tutorial,
remember this.
How to force restart your iPhone.
So, you're gonna press volume up, volume down,
and then press and hold the Side button.
You wanna do that in a sequence in quick succession.
So, volume up, volume down, press and hold the Side button,
continue holding the Side button
until your screen goes black.
Just like that.
And now, you can take your finger off the Side button.
You should see the Apple logo up here.
The reason why you would wanna know how to do this
is if your phone starts acting weird,
it doesn't respond to Touch,
and sometimes, that happens
and I don't have to do this often,
but it's something that I definitely remember how to do
because from time to time,
your iPhone will just start acting weird.
It'll lock up or it won't respond to Touch,
and in those cases,
this is probably the first thing
that you should consider doing,
just force restarting your iPhone.
And honestly, it couldn't be much simpler.
Now, I'm gonna show you
how to enter Recovery Mode on iPhone 13.
So, first of all,
make sure you have a Mac or PC available,
have a Lightning to USB-C cable,
and connect that to your iPhone 13.
Now, Recovery Mode allows you to manually update
or restore your iPhone.
And you wanna make sure if you get this little pop-up here
to trust your computer that you connect to.
So, that is important.
So, go ahead and tap the Trust button to accept
and then you'll have to enter your iPhone's passcode.
All right.
So, now, it's time to enter our button sequence
to get into Recovery Mode.
So, it's gonna be volume up, volume down,
press and hold the Side button,
and continue to hold the Side button
until you see the Connect to Computer glyph.
So, I'm gonna show you how to do that right now.
We're gonna do it in quick succession
and put our iPhone 13 into Recovery Mode.
So, let's do it now.
Volume up,
volume down, press and hold the Side button,
continue holding the Side button, do not let it go.
And again, like I said,
if you want to manually restore or update your iPhone,
Recovery Mode allows you to do that.
Continue holding the Side button
until you see the Connect to Computer glyph.
There you go, so now, you can release the Side button
on your computer,
you should notice the Finder open up,
indicating that you are in Recovery Mode.
So, it looks like this,
and as you can see,
you get two buttons there: Update or Restore.
So, Update basically update you to the latest version of iOS
and keeps all your data
while Restore will wipe your iPhone
with the brand-new installation of iOS.
Now, the likelihood of you needing
to actually use Recovery Mode is fairly slim in 2021.
However, it's good to know
how to update or restore manually
just in case you need to.
So, now, let's talk about
how to exit out of Recovery Mode on your iPhone 13.
So, you see the Connect to Computer glyph.
All you need to do is simply press and hold the Side button
until the Connect to Computer glyph goes away.
So, let's do that now.
I'm pressing and holding the Side button
and in just a second, you'll get a black screen like that.
You can release the Side button.
You should see the Apple logo.
Just like that,
and your iPhone will reboot back to the lock screen.
So, that's how to easily exit out of Recovery Mode.
And we'll go ahead and speed it up a little bit here,
and there's our lock screen.
Super simple, super easy.
Now, let's talk about something
a little bit more challenging,
and that is how to enter DFU Mode on the iPhone 13.
So, just like Recovery Mode,
you wanna make sure you're connected to your Mac or PC
with the Lightning to USB cable.
Now, the chances of you needing to use DFU Mode
is slim to none,
but in the off chance that you do need DFU Mode,
I'm gonna show you how to get in it right here, right now.
So, this will require some definite finger gymnastics.
You need to press volume up, volume down,
press and hold the Side button for 10 seconds,
then press and hold the volume down button
while continuing to hold that Side button.
And then, after about five seconds,
release the Side button,
and continue to hold the volume down.
I know, it's a lot. (laughs)
But just trust me on this one.
I'm gonna show you how to do so in this video right now.
So, let's go ahead and put the iPhone 13
in the DFU Mode, watch this.
So, we wanna press and release volume up,
press and release volume down,
press and hold the Side button for 10 seconds.
Six,
five,
four,
three,
two,
one.
Now, press and hold the volume down button
while continuing to hold the Side button for five seconds,
release the Side button after five seconds,
continue to hold the volume down button
for about 10 seconds.
The screen should stay black.
That is the key.
So, if the screen is staying black,
you have successfully entered DFU Mode
and you know you're in DFU Mode
when you look at your computer
and you see this message right here.
So, what this is telling us
is that your iPhone needs to be restored.
So, that's one of the differences
that you'll notice visually
between Recovery Mode and DFU Mode.
In Recovery Mode, you get the option to update.
In DFU Mode, you don't get the option to update.
You only have the option to restore your iPhone
with a fresh new install of iOS.
Now, how to exit out of DFU Mode on iPhone 13.
It's not as easy as Recovery Mode, but it is easy.
You just press and release volume up,
press and release volume down,
press and hold the Side button
until you see the Apple logo, and that's it.
So, let's do it.
Press and release volume up,
press and release volume down,
press and hold the Side button,
continue holding until you see the Apple logo.
It will take a little bit of time, just be patient.
Patience, folks.
All right, so, in just a second, there we go.
There's an Apple logo.
You can release the Side button and we're good.
It's gonna boot back to the lock screen.
Now, let me tell you how to temporarily disable Face ID
and actually, we've already done this.
It involves pressing and holding the Side button
with one of the volume buttons, just like this.
And now you see this screen.
That's familiar, right?
But notice when you hit Cancel,
that face ID
is disabled.
So, you actually have to enter your passcode
in order to re-enable Face ID.
So, we can go ahead and do that right now.
I'm just gonna put my passcode in.
And now, when I lock the device
using the Side button and then I wake it back up,
you'll notice that face ID is reactivated.
Just like that.
So, that can be handy,
but let's talk about the next tip, Emergency SOS.
Now, I wanna preface this section with a warning.
Please do not use this
unless you are in a genuine emergency
because it will contact emergency authorities in your area.
Now, to do so, all you need to do
is press and hold the Side button
and one of the volume buttons, and continue to hold them.
So, let me show you what we're doing right here.
So, volume up, I'm just gonna choose that one
along with the Side button.
Press and hold both at the same time,
continue to hold,
and see the countdown?
(iPhone beeping)
Yeah, you don't want to let that count all the way down
because emergency authorities will be contacted.
The cool thing is you can do this
with your phone in your pocket
if you're being chased, or if you're in an emergency,
that is a good way
that you can quickly contact the authorities
and let them know there's an emergency.
Now, another way to do this
is simply to press and hold
the Side button and a volume button,
get to this screen right here,
and then use the SOS slider, just like that.
Now, don't slide it all the way over,
unless you want to genuinely contact emergency authorities.
There is one additional way to use Emergency SOS,
and it requires you to go in
and configure this option within the settings.
So, let's go into the Settings app,
go down to Emergency SOS,
and then you'll see Call with Side Button.
So, basically, when you enable this,
it allows you to invoke Emergency SOS
by pressing the Side button five times in succession.
So doing that is a simple and easier way
to invoke Emergency SOS
with just a single button instead of using multiple buttons.
So, I'm not gonna actually press it to five times.
I don't want to contact emergency authorities
and send out any false alarms here.
So, those are the three ways to use Emergency SOS,
just good to know, just in case.
Now, let's talk about the final thing.
This is new for iOS 15,
how to disable Find My when powering off your iPhone.
So, new for iOS 15.
Notice the new message below the Slide to Power Off slider.
It says, iPhone Findable After Power Off.
So, your phone can still be tracked with Find My
if you're logged into the Find My network,
you have Location Services enabled,
even when your phone's off.
So, to disable that temporarily,
you simply tap that message
and then choose the option to Temporarily Turn Off Finding.
So, this will make it so your phone
can't be tracked by Find My, even when it's off.
It's temporary.
So, you have to use it each time.
So, tap Temporarily Turn Off Finding,
then, it's gonna ask you for your passcode
to temporarily disable Find My for the next power off.
So, I put my passcode in
and then you have to quickly slide power off
because as you see there,
it will reset and make you do it all again.
So, you have to be quick about it,
be quick on the toes.
Let's go ahead and try it again.
We'll tap the little message there.
Tap Temporarily Turn Off,
put in your passcode,
and then quickly slide power off,
just like that.
So, no more tracking with your phone off temporarily.
