iPhone Takes a Long Time to Turn on, Is This Normal? What Solution Do You Have?

The most basic thing about an electronic device is that it turns on and can be used. In an iPhone it is evident that also, although even in this ignition process some problem can appear. If you have verified that your iPhone takes time to turn on and it does so with a slowness that is inappropriate for it, do not worry because it could be normal or have a solution that is within your reach. In this article we cover everything related to turning on the device when this process occurs very slowly.

iPhone Takes a Long Time to Turn on

Can it be normal that it takes time to turn on?

Yes and in fact it could even be something common depending on which devices. If your iPhone is old , even if it keeps updating its software, it is very likely that it will take longer to start up than in previous versions of iOS and even when you took it out of the box. It should be borne in mind that despite the fact that the performance may be good when it is turned on, in the end the load of the operating system occurs more slowly on devices that are already somewhat far from the recent ones.

It also happens if you have a lot of space occupied on the device, since in the end what is done during the power-up process is to load all your data and files so as not to have waiting times when it is already operational.

Another possibility is that the iPhone has just been restored or updated, since the load that is carried out at that moment is not the same as the usual one that occurs when it is turned on. The system needs to load all the news internally and that will make the process a little slower.

Check if you have enough battery

These cases are in the end weirder, since if the iPhone does not have a battery it directly indicates it on the screen and does not turn on. In some other cases, it shows the Apple logo or even the main screen already on, but at the moment it turns off. However, it is recommended that you try to turn it on while charging to make sure that it is not the battery that interferes with this ignition process.

Free up internal memory space

As we said in the first section, when you have little free storage space, the iPhone tends to turn on with a longer time than usual. Therefore one option you have to avoid it is to free up space on the system. We advise you to review an article that we have published and in which we precisely indicate how to free up memory space on an iPhone.

Try restoring the software

At this point, another possibility you have is to restore the operating system or completely format the iPhone. The recommendation is to do it completely and without loading any backup , that way you will avoid accumulating your own and internal device data that make it difficult to start it when you press the power button. This is especially advisable in cases where the ignition process is extremely slow.

If it doesn’t turn on directly

Another possibility is that the iPhone does not turn on, sometimes even without showing the loading screen with the apple logo. If you are in this position, there may be several causes that originate the problem. Some of them are related to internal components such as the battery or the motherboard of the device. In any of these cases, our recommendation is to go to Apple or an authorized technical service. Remember that you can make an appointment through the company’s website or with the Support app available in the App Store.

If there are no other apparent faults

If you have not noticed that your iPhone presents any type of error during its operation and the “problem” is only that it takes time to turn on, we make a recommendation: do not give it more lapses. If the iPhone was faulty it would show other problems beyond this and if you have not noticed any other signs, there is no need to worry. After all, turning the iPhone off and on is not something that is done continuously and sometimes it is not even done for a long time, so it is not something that you should worry too much about.
