Wouldn't yinz like to know.
So, I got my iPhone 14 today. I went through the usual transfer and set up process, and after it finished that, it turned off (i guess to restart), and never turned back on again. My new phone is a brick. The always on is now the always off display :p Anyone else experienced this or have any advice? It's literally just plugged in and unresponsive.
 
Ok so, I fixed this, and just want to post what I did here in case someone else has this issue. I followed Apple's "forced restart" method. I didnt even know this is a thing lol. Basically:
  1. Quickly press and release volume up button
  2. Quickly press and release volume down button
  3. Hold lock button until you see the Apple logo and release.
It worked for me! Hopefully it helps someone else here!
