One of the difficulties encountered by people, especially those less accustomed to the technological world, after buying an iPhone, is to find the right combination of keys to completely turn off the smartphone. If you also have doubts about it, below you will find all the details.
Key combination
On iPhone XR, unlike other models of Apple branded smartphones, it is turned off through a very specific key combination. Thus, to learn how to turn off the iPhone XR, it is necessary to memorize the correct combination.

In the case of turning off the IPhone, we proceed to hold down thepower button, located on the right side of the device, and one of the two volume keys, present on the left side of the body. Once this action has been performed, the Power off display will appear on the screen. Next, Slide to turn off, just release the two physical buttons and slide your finger from left to right on the display that has appeared. Once this is done, the smartphone will turn off instantly.
In case you want to turn on the iPhone XR again, you can proceed in the "old way", that is, by holding down the power button, which is located on the right side of the terminal. After this operation, the bitten apple logo will appear on the screen and the iPhone operating system (iOS) will load.
Now, type in the unlock code of the smartphone (if active), in addition to inserting thePIN code you have programmed on your SIM card. Finally, you can use your iPhone XR again!

If you do not know where to find an Apple Store, simply connect to the official website, there you can check all the stores available in the city, identifying the closest to your location. If, on the other hand, you are looking for Apple authorized centers, go to official sites of the same, such as R-Store, likewise search for the center closest to you using the available map.

In any case, I remind you that if you have insured your iPhone XR with AppleCare +, the insurance system of the Cupertino company, you also have coverage against accidental damage, allowing you to have two repairs at a reduced price. If you have not yet taken advantage of this possibility, check if you had made this coverage at the time of purchase.

However, as far as the standard warranty is concerned, the latter lasts for two years, of which one year is paid by Apple and one year is paid by the retailer of the phone (which can be Apple itself, if you bought the iPhone XR in an Apple Store or on Apple's website).
