Imagine that your iPhone 7 (Plus) gets stuck on the Apple logo and takes hours to load past the Home screen or won't turn on at all. That's what could happen when your phone crashes during startup, upgrading, data transfer, or restoring. In rare cases, hardware failures - i.e. faulty audio IC - can also render an iPhone 7 (Plus) stuck on a white or black screen showing only the Apple logo.

It's actually not as big a deal as it sounds, though. Here're some tricks to help your get the frozen device up and running as soon as possible if you find yourself in this horrid situation.

Simply press and hold both Sleep/ Wake button and the Volume Down button until you see the Apple logo. Then wait the device to boot up.

Tips: This won't erase any data and information on your handset.

4: Going Deeper - DFU Restore Your Phone

Depending on the severity of the Apple logo issue on iPhone 7 (Plus) with white or black screen, you may perform all the aforementioned methods favorably. But if what your device undergoes is a more complex issue - stuck in endless boot-loops sequence or apple logo flashing on and off, the device's operating mechanism might go awry. In that case, you'll need to boot it into DFU mode.

Same here: Ensure that you've archived backups ahead of schedule as this know-how will get iPhone 7 (Plus) out of the startup loop by restoring it to when you unboxed it.

• Connect the device to a computer and launch iTunes or Finder.
• Hold down both Sleep/ Wake button and Volume Down button.
• After 8 seconds, let go of the Sleep/ Wake button while continuing to hold down the Volume Down button.
• When there's nothing displaying on the screen, your device is in DFU mode.
• Then, iTunes or Finder will alert you that a device was detected in recovery mode. Click on OK button and step through the prompts to fulfill the restore process.

Now, after a fresh installation of iOS, the iPhone 7 (Plus) stuck at Apple logo with endless reboot problem should be fixed.
