When your iPhone 17 experiences software freezing but the screen still displays (such as stuck in an application interface), please strictly follow the following order and speed:
1. Quickly press and release the ‘volume up button’
2. Quickly press and release the ‘volume down button’
3. Immediately press and hold the “power button” on the side (also known as the side button)
Press and hold continuously, even if you see the shutdown slider appear, do not release it until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then release the power button.
The phone will automatically complete the restart process, which usually takes one or two minutes to wait.
