IPhone frozen while updating fix?

My iPhone is updating and the freezes. My lock button is broken. What to do.

Usually you would hold down the power and home button until the phone goes into restore mode. However since your phone is broken, you might have to wait until it dies. You may or may not need to get your lock button fixed first, unfortunately.

  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
  • What happens if you call an iPhone while it is updating? I've been wondering this, my GUESS is the person calling would just hear ringing until they're sent to voicemail, but that's just me GUESSING. Lol, some idiot on Apple's forums said if you call an iPhone while it's updating it could corrupt/brick the phone!
