Part 3: How to Fix iOS 27 Beta Stuck in Recovery Mode

It is not uncommon to find your iPhone completely unresponsive or endlessly looping on the recovery screen during a system repair or software update. If your device gets trapped in this loop, don't panic. Before running to an Apple Store, you can try the following practical solutions to safely force your iPhone back to normal.

Solution 1: Force Restart Your iPhone (Might Fail)

The fastest first attempt, no computer needed. This works for minor recovery mode freezes but often fails on deeper system corruption.

For iPhone 12 and later (including all Face ID models):

  • Press and quickly release the Volume Up button
  • Press and quickly release the Volume Down button
  • Press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears. Hold through the recovery screen; it may take 10--20 seconds
  • Holding Side Button Until Apple Logo

If the recovery screen returns immediately after the Apple logo, the issue is deeper than a force restart can fix. Move to Solution 2.

Solution 2: Use a nearby device

1. Triple-click the side button while on the standard recovery mode screen.

2. The system will initiate the Nearby Device Recovery process.

3. You can use another iPhone or iPad to:

●Help exit recovery mode.

●Reinstall iOS.
