Force Restart iPhone 14 Pro Max During iOS 18 Beta on Verizon

If your iPhone 14 Pro Max running the iOS 18 Beta becomes unresponsive, frozen, or stuck during updates, a force restart can quickly resolve most temporary issues. This method works safely even if your device is on Verizon or any other carrier.

Step 1: Press and Release Volume Up

Quickly press and release the Volume Up button on the left side of your iPhone.

Step 2: Press and Release Volume Down

Immediately press and release the Volume Down button. This prepares your iPhone to accept the final restart command.

Step 3: Hold the Side Button

Press and hold the Side button on the right side of your device until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. Release the button once the Apple logo appears—this indicates your iPhone is rebooting properly.

Step 4: Wait for System Reboot

After the Apple logo disappears, your iPhone will restart and return to the Lock Screen. The process usually takes less than a minute, depending on your iOS 18 Beta build.

Step 5: Check Performance After Restart

Once restarted, verify that apps, touch response, and network connectivity (especially Verizon signal strength) are functioning correctly. If you continue experiencing lag or system instability, refer to Performance & System Optimization for advanced troubleshooting.

Step 6: Keep iOS Beta Updated

Always install the latest iOS 18 Beta updates to avoid performance bugs and system crashes. Apple frequently releases patches that improve system stability and compatibility with carriers like Verizon.

AvNexo Tip

If your iPhone freezes often during beta testing, avoid overloading it with background apps and restart it at least once every few days. This simple habit improves performance and reduces system glitches during iOS Beta phases.
