Are you looking to find out how to turn off your iPhone XS Max without touching the screen? You’ve come to the right place! The iPhone XS Max is the biggest and most powerful of Apple’s iPhones. It features a 6.5-inch Super Retina OLED display, dual 12MP cameras, and up to 512GB of storage. However, with all its features also comes a bigger battery which can take up quite a bit of juice. To keep your device running smoothly, it’s important that you know how to power it off without draining the battery.

Fortunately, turning off your iPhone XS Max without using the touch screen is easy and can be done in just a few steps. First, press and hold the side button until “Slide to Power Off” appears on the screen. Then simply drag the power icon from left to right and wait for your device to turn off. Alternatively, if you want to fully power off your phone using only keys, press and hold both the Side button and Volume down keys simultaneously for a few seconds until it shuts down completely.

It’s also worth noting that you don’t necessarily need to power down your iPhone XS Max every time you use it. Instead, you can simply use Low Power Mode which will help conserve battery life by temporarily disabling certain features such as Background App Refresh and automatic downloads. To enable Low Power Mode on your device go into Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode and tap on the toggle switch next to it.

We hope this article has helped show you how easy it is to turn off an iPhone XS Max without using its touch screen! If you have any other questions about powering down or managing energy on your device feel free to contact us anytime!
