Why is my iPhone5 stuck on the Apple logo and then moves to a red screen?
Recently, I’ve been experiencing a frustrating issue with my iPhone5. When I try to turn it on, it gets stuck on the Apple logo for a few seconds and then suddenly moves to a red screen. This cycle repeats every time I attempt to restart or power it off. I haven’t made any recent changes or installed new apps that could have caused this problem. Despite trying to reset my phone multiple times, the issue persists. It’s quite concerning and I’m not sure what is triggering this behavior. If anyone has experienced a similar issue or knows what could be causing my iPhone5 to behave this way, I would greatly appreciate any insights or explanations.

Here’s a possible solution that worked for my iPhone5 when faced with similar issues: Sometimes, simply reinstalling the latest iOS version fixes the problem. Connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes and check if an iOS update is available. If an update doesn’t help, erasing all content and settings and restoring the iOS might be necessary. Be sure to back up your data first. This method erased the corrupt files causing my phone to get stuck on the Apple logo and transition to a red screen. After a fresh iOS installation, my iPhone5 was back to normal.
I empathize with your frustration, as I faced this issue with my own iPhone5. My solution involved a bit more of a technical approach. Entering DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode resolved the issue for me. Connect your phone to a computer, open iTunes, and put your phone into DFU mode by pressing and holding the ‘Home’ and ‘Power’ buttons for 10 seconds, then releasing the ‘Power’ button while continuing to hold the ‘Home’ button until iTunes recognizes your phone in recovery mode. From there, you can restore your device. If you’re wary of this, using third-party tools like Tenorshare ReiBoot or Dr.Fone – Repair can also address such iOS issues effectively.
When my iPhone5 encountered this same problem, I found a few effective strategies. To start, perform a force restart by holding both the ‘Home’ and ‘Power’ buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, and hopefully, it does not transition to the red screen. If this doesn’t work, connect your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. Try to update or restore your phone through iTunes. In my case, this process fixed the software glitch that was making my phone stuck. If you notice hardware damage, such as a cracked screen or swollen battery, visit an Apple Store for professional help. Sometimes these issues stem from physical damage.
Hello, I completely understand how troubling this can be. My iPhone5 once behaved similarly and here’s what ended up helping me: First, I tried resetting all settings by going to ‘Settings’ -> ‘General’ -> ‘Reset’ -> ‘Reset All Settings.’ This action did not delete my data but reset the system settings. Second, I realized the battery might be the culprit due to its age. After getting the battery replaced at an Apple Store, my problem was resolved. Lastly, when the issue persisted, I reached out to Apple Support. They reinstalled the iOS, and my phone started functioning correctly. Seeking professional help might be a necessary step.
