OK - here is a new one...
Woke up last week to a dead iPhone X. No response, nothing. Thought maybe it didn't sit on wireless charger correctly so plugged into PC, then wall charger for an hour each. Nothing.
Got an appointment at Genius Bar and 3 hours later, the guy helpfully hard reboots it immediately. Says this happens sometimes with iPhone X. You need to very quickly hit the volume up, volume down and then hold the power button down. He did it in seconds. Said that the X is a very powerful device that needs to be hard reset each week or it crashes like this and requires it. I thought that was crazy particularly since if you google hard reset iphone X, you see a number of articles on how to do it but no mention of a bricked phone needing it.
Last night, same thing happened. Pulled it out of my pocket, nothing. Hadn't been charging this time. Tried everything for a while including hard reset. Waited an hour while contemplating another Genius Bar visit and finally got a response doing hard reset commands.
It seems like there is some magic to the timing. Very quick up and down volume, then it took 12 seconds (mental counting) to see the apple logo and reset.
So some advice as I noticed another post about bricked iPhone X being returned, give this a shot.
Anyone else had this happen?
