Broken Screen, Can't slide the slider to turn it off

"No, it's not a reset.

Like I said, press the home button to activate the screen to show light, then hold the power and home button until the screen turns off. As soon as screen light turns off, let go of all buttons immediately. Your device will now be off."

"All of this didn't work for me.

First of all : The trick about simultaneously pressing Home and Power buttons will potentially restart your iPhone 6, not reset it as many posters here says. I'm not a native English speaker but for me there's an immense difference between those two words. The word ""reset"" to me implies that something is lost (settings), while the word ""restart"" doesn't mean that. Bottom line: Don't be afraid of this procedure. You won't loose anything.

Anyway: here's what worked for me: The thing is that is is not at first black screen where you need to release the two buttons immediately, it is at the second black screen. Capice?

Do like this:

Press Home and Power buttons simultaneously and hold themScreen will go black after some seconds. (continue to hold the buttons)Screen will show Apple logo after some more seconds (continue to hold the buttons)Screen will go black after some more seconds. Now you must immediately release those buttons.The phone is now turned off.

All together you need to wait a considerable amount of time. Perhaps something like 30 seconds."

"Hello light up the screen then hold power and home button together til the screen shuts off then let go of the button immediately.

The device will now be turned off"

"What I usually do, in an instance like that, because I'm already going inside the phone anyways. I just remove the battery cover plate, and disconnect the battery

How to Replace Your iPhone 6 Battery"

Hold the home and power button at the same time until the screen turns black.'but when it does, don't continue to hold the buttons or else the device will reset

"ok i know this is an old thread but since this issue happened to me just today and i found a better way to actually turn off the darn thing, and it's better because you don't have to mess around with the hardware like open the phone or anything like that. so i thought i'd share with the whole wide world.

first off, like one user said, if the darn screen is black, it's kinda hard to gauge whether or not you let go of the button fast enough to avoid a reset. so how to avoid said reset and still manage to turn off this POS?

simple:

1- open iTunes on your computer

2- connect phone to computer

3- wait for iTunes to recognize phone is connected

4- backup freakin' POS phone

5- follow above mentioned turn-off procedures, namely hold down HOME and on/off button AND here PAY ATTENTION:

--> the phone will disappear from iTunes device list

therefore, AS SOON AS the iphone disappears from the iTunes device list, release both phone buttons--you have now turned off your phone without accidentally resetting it.

as for me, Apple annoyed me off so much, i am done with them and my next phone will be a Nexus or HTC Android device."
