iPhone 11 Stuck On Apple Logo

During the course of using your phone, something in the ones and zeroes that makes it run, might have been lost, or changed in a way that renders your device unusable. This is commonly a result of a botched update, an app which conflicts with functionality, or even a malicious piece of software.

To attempt to correct this, perform a reinstall of the operating system. You'll need to get it into recovery mode to initiate this process.

1. Connect to a Mac or PC with iTunes install using a USB cable.
2. Press and release the volume up button, then volume down, then press and hold the power button until the screen goes black. Continue holding this button until the recovery mode screen appears
3. The connected computer should pop up with the message “There is a problem with the iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored.” To start, try an update.
   • If the update is unsuccessful, it's time to assess the state of your backups. If you're certain you have a recent backup or are willing to sacrifice your data to regain use of your phone, proceed to restore. This will erase any data presently on your phone.
   • If the update or restore fails with an error message, document it. Now might be a good time to visit the Answers forum, where you can get more personalized help. Be sure to mention the error message in your question!

Have you been getting warnings that your device is running low on storage? It’s easy to ignore, but computerized devices also need some free space to operate properly. Think of it like your sock drawer. You can squish any number of additional pairs of socks in, but eventually your drawer will stop closing. It’s possible your phone is in this “can no longer function as intended,” state.

• Try the force restart steps outlined at the beginning of this page again. A few times even. If you’re lucky, this may allow you the one successful boot you need to get in and clear out some of the five hundred blurry pictures of your puppy chasing a paper bag around the yard.
• If this doesn’t work, ultimately you’re going to need to reset your device—especially if you've been getting recent low storage warnings prior to the issue popping up. If it’s not already in recovery mode, you’ll need to get it there and restore your device by connecting it to a Mac or PC with iTunes.
  • This may be the underlying fault if you have received errors 14, 78, or 1110 when processing a recovery mode update.

The logic board is the hub for the vast majority of an iPhone's functionality. Any number of the small components on the board may have failed or become damaged, resulting in this sort of issue.

• Board damage can be caused by liquid contact, electric insult, a significant drop, or even flexion from being repeatedly shoved into your pocket. Check to see if your board looks bent, has signs of liquid, burn or loose components.
  • You can inspect your logic board by following the Logic Board Replacement Guide.
  • The iPhone 11 has a two board layout. The two boards are sandwiched together and hide a bevy of components in the middle which you will be unable to see.
• Replacing the logic board is often the most practical solution if your board is the underlying issue.
  • Be aware that certain functions (Face ID especially) will rely on having the components that were originally paired with the board to work properly.
• If you’re feeling especially motivated, the tiny components on the board can be repaired with microsoldering. It is an art unto itself, but a worthy endeavor for those who are adventurous. If you’re curious and want to know more about getting into micro soldering, here’s some good reading and some good watching to get you started.
