Well there are a few things to try for sure. The first thing I’d do is see whether it really turned itself off or just stopped talking.
First, make sure it’s plugged in even if you think the battery is fine. Plugging it in will actually start it if it’s powered off in most cases. While you’re at it, and if it is plugged in, unplug it and replug it in. Note whether the little power noise happens. This doesn’t guarantee anything I found with my last major problem, but try muting and unmuting it. If the phone has power, and if you can make it mute and unmute, you’ll get that little haptic on muting, this is another good indicator that you have power to it. If you don’t have power to it, leave it plugged in for about 20 minutes and try all this again. So we’ve got power and it mutes and unmutes, but still not talking. Plug in some headphones. Or if you have it paired to a Bluetooth speaker or headset, activate that. If that gets sound, but the speaker does not, we can go from there. If you know you have power, you can try turninging voiceover on and off if you’ve set that up on triple click home. If you still can’t get its attention, we’ll probably have to talk in prep for you to call Apple. I’ve always been able ultimately to recover my phone, there are a few things that typically happen. But the very most recent time it was a total system fail and Apple had to replace it. Even that was a challenge, I had to use Rick’s phone to get into mine to turn off Find My Iphone for them. If we get to that miserable place, I can do that for you as well because it’s something they will not do. But we’re not to that yet. Let me know if none of this gets it, I’m home all day if you need to call.
