If you’re stuck with a non-functional button, you may be wondering what to do to turn it off or on. Is there actually a way you can turn on your iPhone without using the buttons? The short answer is, yes.
There may be any number of reasons why your iPhone won’t power on when you need it to. While an unresponsive button i one of them, your iPhone may also be low on battery, hence why powering it up using the button may fail.

Turn ON iPhone Without Buttons
One of the easiest ways to turn your iPhone on without using the power button is to plug it into a power source. Here’s how:
First, connect your iPhone to a lightning cable or USB-C cable, depending on the iPhone version. Then, plug the other end of the cable into a power source (a wall adapter, computer, or portable battery).
Wait for your iPhone’s screen to display the Apple logo. This means the iPhone is booting up.
Most iPhones will automatically power on when connected to a charger. You can now use the Iphone as normal once the boot up is complete.
