Dear Everyone!
After considering back and forth, I consider get my hand on the newly-bought iPhone XS Max. However, I encounter some issues with the new device. First, the phone won't power on whenever I shutdown no matter how I press the side button. It can turn back on only if the phone is connected to wall adapter. Note: the phone have 40% battery. Second, the Imessage and Facetime cannot be activated. It said the the error occur during activation. I really appreciated if you could help me.

Are you pressing long enough on the power button? Something around 4 secs. And for the activation of FaceTime and iMessage, if you are on a prepaid plan make sure you have enough credit. If you’re not on a prepaid plan, top up with a little bit more than required by your provider for your plan.

Hi,
In reguards to your first question, to turn on the phone, press and hold the side button for a couple seconds until the apple logo appears. If you can't see it, press it for 3 seconds or so and the phone should turn on.

Dear everyone, I sincerely appreciated for all your helpful advice. For the time being, I dare not restart my phone again. Anyway, I also express my thankfulness for the information to turn off the phone without going through the setting.
