How to Restore an iPhone's Apple Screen
Restore an iPhone's "Apple" screen whenever your iPhone freezes to restart the device and begin using it again. As is the case with laptop and desktop computers, iPhones sometimes freeze and aren't able to resume normal operation without being restarted. Once the Apple symbol appears on the screen, you know you have successfully restarted the iPhone.

Tips & Warnings
If your iPhone frequently freezes, consider restoring the device to its factory settings, a procedure Apple recommends for iPhones with chronic operational problems. To do this, connect the iPhone to the computer, launch iTunes and select the "Restore" button. Click "Yes" when iTunes asks you back up the data, then wait for the iPhone to restart and follow the on screen instructions to restore your backed-up data and complete the process.
