Force restart procedures vary by iPhone model; normal shutdown uses Settings or button combinations. Force restart does not erase data.
The term 'force power down' requires clarification, as it can mean either a normal shutdown or a force restart—two distinct operations with different procedures and outcomes.
For a normal shutdown on any iPhone, use Settings > General > Shut Down, then slide to power off. Alternatively, on iPhone 8 and later, press and hold either Volume button together with the Side button until the power-off slider appears, then slide to power off [1].
For a force restart—used when the iPhone is frozen or unresponsive—the button combination depends on your model. On iPhone 8 and later (including iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and newer), quickly press and release Volume Up, quickly press and release Volume Down, then press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears, then release [1]. On iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, press and hold Volume Down and the Side button together until the Apple logo appears. On iPhone 6s and earlier, press and hold the Home button and the Top or Side button together until the Apple logo appears.
A force restart reboots the device and does not erase your data—it is the recommended first step for an unresponsive or frozen iPhone. If the device still will not respond after a force restart, try a different charging cable or charger, and contact Apple Support if problems persist.
The key distinction: holding buttons until the Apple logo appears initiates a force restart (the device will reboot). A normal shutdown via Settings or the power-off slider stops the device without restarting it. For most users experiencing a frozen screen, a force restart is the appropriate solution.
