My phone screen went black/unresponsive 2 days ago and I assumed it had died, but when I plugged it in to charge the screen remained unresponsive. I tried to force restart by holding down the side and volume buttons, but to no avail. I have spoken to someone online from Apple support, who told me this could have happened as a result of not updating iOS.

I don't see how I can fix it if the screen will not turn on, does anyone know what I can do?

I’ve woken up a few times with my iPhone being black and unresponsive. Did you try the up volume, down volume, hold the power button hard reset?

I left it alone, and did the button thing one more time and it turned on
