My phone has died, and i have put it on charge and left it (wall plug). when i click the lock button it comes onto the white screen showing just the Apple Icon, then turning itself off.
I have tried a few attempts such as holding the home button and lock button for a period of time.
Currently i am downloading iTunes to see if it works as i have read a couple of forums saying connect it to the laptop and open iTunes, as it is coming up sometimes the iTunes icon on my iPhone 6s.

Anything else i could try?

Sorry to hear you're having this problem.

I have experienced this before, the way I fixed it was I connected it to my PC, made sure I had the newest version of iTunes downloaded. I did a full back up to my computer and i factory restored it and restored it from the backup that I just did.

This seemed to bypass the long loading screen and put me on to the home menu so I backed it up anyway to prevent it again.

I hope this helps, if you have any questions shoot me a PM!

Yea, your best bet is to try and get it into DFU mode (hold power and home button) and restore it. It's a boot loop and its usually caused by either a failed update to where it's bricked or hardware issue of some sort. Best of luck to ya.

If your iPhone wont power on, you might want to run through the steps in the following article:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The first thing you want to do when troubleshooting your iPhone that wont power on is try force restarting it:

If your device still won't turn on or start up:

Second thing to do is allow the phone to charge for about an hour.

After a few minutes, you should see the charging screen, If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check the jack, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
