Generally, iPhone devices will go to sleep after the specified period of inactivity. Whenever your iPhone is asleep, it will use the battery power for a certain process. This is not an ideal situation if you want to conserve power while you’re away from home. What should you do? Turning off the device is the only way to conserving battery power. Along with conserving battery power, you also need to shut down the device once it performs strangely or if it is unresponsive. There are different methods available to turn off the iPhone. We will show you the step-by-step instructions for all the iPhone models.
