Re: IPhone won't switch on.
I do NOT know of any Apple shops
that have dedicated Disabled parking within 50 yards of the
entrance - that makes visiting one very difficult
I the past, I visited the one in
the former Fruit and Vegetable market at Covent Garden in
London.
It was a VERY unpleasant experience
with loud background music and lots of unruly children.
I don't use Apple Pay - I use cash!

My iPhone XR has no home button, and no fingerprint reader. It
works on face recognition.?
Tap the screen and it lights up. At the bottom of the screen
it says to unlock, scroll up, if the facial recognition balks.
When it is being difficult or I am wearing a face mask, it
presents a numeric keypad for a 6-digit passcode.?
I assume the fingerprint recognition has the same
alternative. Borrow a friend’s or stop by an Apple dealer to try
it a bit.?
If you use ApplePay, it asks for the passcode to authorize a
purchase, so it helps to keep the passcode fresh in your

Re: IPhone won't switch on.
Same on the European mainland, but you might have to pay a nominal amount of around 100 to 200 Euro depending on exactly which model. And of course, the European iPhone 15 still has a SIM card slot.

There are two possibilities here.
1. connect it to ANY computer with its USB cable whether Windows or MacOS and see whether it gets detected at all.

Re: IPhone won't switch on.
If the iPhone has been *completely* shut down, you will have to hold the On/Off switch depressed for several seconds to re-boot it. How long depends in part on how old the device is – newer ones have haver hardware. Brent wrote:

Perhaps you might have to resort to using two cables - such

another that is a Lightning to USB A?

Plantronics USB DSP v3
But I was considering replacing it

Yes, it needs to work for both

My Hearing Aids (issued by the NHS)
are supposed to connect to my Hearing Aids by Bluetooth - which
they do about 70% of the time. Sometimes they connect
automatically, sometimes I have to connect them manually using
"settings" and sometimes they will NOT connect even after lots
of fiddling.
I have a iPhone 6s. I bought one of
those refurbished because it does have a Headphone socket.
I'm? NOT concerned about sound
