Temporary Solution
If your iPhone's power button is suddenly stopped working, you can use AssistiveTouch: Enable it from Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch to access a virtual power button.
AssistiveTouch doesn’t fix the power button physically, but it provides a workaround by offering an on-screen alternative. Here's how it helps:
Locking the Screen – You can use AssistiveTouch to lock your iPhone without needing the physical power button.
Turning Off the Device – The virtual power button allows you to access the "Slide to Power Off" option.
Restarting the iPhone – If needed, you can restart the device using the combination AssistiveTouch + Siri (Siri can turn the device off, and you can plug it into a charger to restart).
Taking Screenshots – Since the power button is also used for screenshots, AssistiveTouch provides an alternative method.
đź”´ Note: You cannot turn your iPhone on using AssistiveTouch. If powered off, plugging it into a charger or a computer will automatically turn it on after a few seconds.
