To reset an iPhone (with a home button), hold down the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. For older iPhone models, this action performs a hard reset, which can sometimes resolve minor software issues. Ensure your data is backed up before performing a reset.
