2. Siri
- Activate Siri: Say "Hey Siri" or press and hold the side button (if it's working).
- Use Voice Commands: Tell Siri what you want to do, such as "Lock my iPhone," "Open YouTube," or "Make a call to [name]."
3. External Keyboard & Mouse (iOS 13 and later)
- Connect a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse: Pair your keyboard and mouse with your iPhone.
- Navigate and Use Apps: Use your keyboard and mouse to navigate your iPhone's interface, type text, and interact with apps.
4. Repair or Replace the Power Button
- Contact Apple Support: Schedule an appointment with Apple Support or visit an authorized service provider to repair or replace your power button.
Remember to keep your iPhone updated to the latest iOS version for the best functionality and security.
