Every iOS device owner knows that you slide to unlock the device. It’s been that way since 2007.
Unfortunately, today was the day my iPhone decided (thanks to a weird statusbar bug) that the unlocking slider wasn’t quite wide enough…so it stretched it past the borders of the screen. No matter how precise I tried to be, there was simply no way for me to get the slider all the way to the right side to complete an unlock.
I then tried to turn the device off by holding the power button down, but “slide to power off” bar had, apparently, gorged on a few extra helpings of turkey this past weekend, so it, too, was stretched well beyond the confines of my screen. To make a short story even shorter: holding the power and home buttons for a quick soft reset did the job and my unlock screen is back to normal.
