Chosen Solution
I accidentaly opened Apple Home, and it showed a critical alerts notification. I tried to press “Don’t Allow” but it did not work. Pressing ‘Allow’ also did not work. All I can think of it to just wait for the battery to die. iPhone is at 90%, on power saver, and has a new battery that lasts almost 17hrs. Is there a way I can either dismiss the notification, or get it to die faster?
If you cannot get the phone to power off normally, do a force restart. For a XS press and release the Volume Up button, then the Volume Down button. Then Press and hold the power button until the device shuts off and restarts.
You may use Apple Configurator for Mac app to restart your iPhone - just connect your iPhone to Mac (if you have one of course), right click your iPhone in Apple Configurator for Mac app and choose Advanced - Restart Device.
