Method 2: Restore iPhone/iPad to Factory Settings

This is another method of fixing the white Apple logo on your iOS device. You can factory reset your iOS device with iTunes. You need to know that factory reset will clear every information that is in your device. However, if you want to save your data on your Mac or computer, use the iPhone Data Recovery to save all the important data.


Step 1: Connect your iOS device to your PC via a USB cable and press and hold the Home and Wake button simultaneously until the device resets.

 

Step 2: Release the wake buttons as soon as the Apple logo appears. Do not release the home button until the option to connect to iTunes appears on the screen. If it doesn’t work automatically, open iTunes yourself and then click "OK". After a while, a message saying iTunes has detected a device will appear on the screen.

Step 3: Carefully follow the instructions on the screen to complete the recovery process and it may take you a few minutes. Therefore, you should be very patient.

 

Step 4: Ensure your iOS device is connected to your PC with iTunes. In addition, you shouldn’t interrupt your device during the recovery process.

As you can see from the above steps, it is not a rocket science to fix the issue. However, you should be careful with the method two, as it will erase all data on the iPhone. If you forgot to backup the devcie, all the data will be gone forever. So my suggestion is to go with method 1 first. It is less risky and quite solid to solve the problem.
