3. Make Sure Your iPhone Is Not Wet
If the phone is extreme low it won’t turn on or charge if the lightning port is wet. Your one choice is to put it in a bag of rice and let it soak in there for a few hours until the residual moisture evaporates. The latest iPhones have an IP67 rating which means that they are dust and waterproof to a certain extent. However, the ratings for older iPhones are not as robust, and any liquid spill could be harmful for them. As a precautionary step, your phone will automatically shut down if there is a major liquid puddle. Instead of attempting to restart your phone over and over, you should put it in a bag of rice or in a bag with silica gel for a few hours so it will absorb the moisture.
Another option is to blow it dry with a hairdryer. You should also try and get all water out from the ports of the iPhone before putting it on charge or if you leave it charging, the device could malfunction. You can also try booting your iPhone again and if that does not work, your only alternative is to take it to a repair shop.
4. Take It To The Customer Service Center
If you’ve tried all the above mention steps, and iPhone 12 won’t turn on. The only option you now have is that you have taken your device to your nearest Apple service center. If it’s under warranty, you can take it to an Apple store or an authorized Apple service center to get it repaired. Since the device’s warranty is still in effect, Apple will either repair it or replace it for you for free.
If your iPhone 12 is not covered by Apple’s warranty, I’ll recommend that you take it to a third-party service center first as it is likely to get them to repair your iPhone at a lower price than Apple would be able to. However, do this only if the professional you contact is reputed for Apple repairs in your location. Otherwise, if you are set on saving money, your best bet is to find authorized Apple service centers.
