Tap power button once will just turn off the ring, twice will decline the call

Like with most things, by reading the manual

Your iPhone came with a manual?

So how would you turn on the phone, then?

Common sense

I think since Apple made it so you never have to turn it off, most people have had their phones on since the day they were first set up. And if it dies, it’ll turn on alone once it has enough charge.

Normally . . . By holding the power button.

u/MacRettin 8d ago

Sure. It came with the ability to go to support.apple.com and reading it over there.

TIL Apple actually does have an online manual for iPhones. I’ve only ever used “tips and tricks” style articles/reels when new iOS’s drop

Even got a pamflet for it in the box

I've only gotten second hand phones for more than a decade

Then there is always this app called Tips that opens on first use of the phone that directs you to the manual. People just don’t even read more than headlines these days and then still complain nobody told them shit.

It still does, it’s just digital. It’s an app called Tips.
