An error can turn your iPhone into something "unusable"

IPhone users sometimes turn off and restart their devices to avoid updates that might occur at an inconvenient time, but this seemingly simple operation is not without risk.

All that is required is for an iPhone user to press the button on the right side of the phone and then the "Swipe / Shut Down" message until the device stops.

Reusing the iPhone phone does not cause any damage when the phone is in a normal situation, but it becomes different when this step occurs while loading the device for updates.

Kelso warns that disabling the device while it is being updated may result in the loss of all data on Apple phones, according to the Schevenends website.

The expert recommends that users allow enough time for updates to be downloaded to iPhone devices, even if they arrive at an inconvenient time of day.

Kelso says the restart has turned the phone into something "permanently unfit."
