Search YouTube for 'iPhone frozen', I'm sure you'll find a video that'll help

Good luck

How was the battery before it happened?
Mines did similar couldn't get reset to work as battery was low and my multiple attempts just made it worse. Charged it up for a few hours then the reset thing of holding home and power worked fine.


Otherwise if it was fine its messed get a new one! :thumbsup:

Try it for a lot longer than that, about a minute, or until it resets. It should still work..... :unsure:
