"Yesterday my iPhone 6s suddenly turned off and won't turn on any more. It was fully charged. When I hold down the Power button, it only shows a white screen with a black Apple logo, and then turns off in a few seconds. I tried many times and even tried to hold down both the Power and Home button at the same time, but it was still the same result. What should I do? Please help!"

Step 4: Now turn to iTunes on your computer. You will see iTunes pop up a dialog box showing this message: "There is a problem with the iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored" and gives the option to Restore or Update. Choose Update, then iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Wait while iTunes downloads the software for your device. If the download takes more than 15 minutes and your iPhone device exits the connect to iTunes screen, just let the download finish, then repeat Step 3. If the download fails, close iTunes and launch it again, then repeat Step 3 and Step 4.
