What is the origin of the White Screen of Death?
When it comes to this particular sickness, there are two basic causes: software or hardware. We now know that almost all issues fall into one of those groups, although the White Screen of Death can be caused by either, making diagnosis a bit more difficult.

So instead you’ll need to do something Apple calls a Force Restart. This won’t wipe any data or anything like that, but it should allow you to quickly power down the iPhone.
