I was on four, FOUR sites to explain how to shut the SE (2020) iphone down and NO ONE except you told me the new version of shut down. Thank you sir! So much!

This one worked much better than other “hacks” I’ve tried. Up. Down. Power hold. Do not press both the power and the down button at the same time. It calls the cops

[philskeba]

loved the fact that you said, "let's do this together". great touch...nicely done.

[beanielowery]

thank you so much! no clue why they changed it from the standard home + power button combo but you're a life saver

[meganklingensmith]

This was incredibly comforting as I'm trying to troubleshoot. Thank you!

My daughter said to tell you she loves you and she’s so happy you showed her this. She thought her phone was dead forever.

I got stuck on YouTube trying guided access with my iPhone SE. I put a passcode of 1234 but for some reason from the get go it didn’t recognize the password. After searching so many videos I found this one! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! It worked… switched the phone off and allowed to switch back on and turn off guided access :) thank you from ireland 🇮🇪

Tried so many other things and nothing worked, your video worked and on first try! Thank

[LJMOO]

Thank you so much. There is an ios 16.6 beta glitch that makes it impossible to get out of guided access mode. This restarted my phone and got it working again.

[ethanclement]

Doggone how simple can you get! After several other instructions this actually works. I was getting worried for a little bit I was going to have to stay up all night holding the buttons in :-)

Thank you so much, my iPhone got stuck on a factory reset and wouldn’t respond for ages, but this saved me 😁👍

Thanks for not having a 45 second intro and a 5 minute monologue... and for helping me fix my iPhone.
