My upgrade isn't until January, and my lock button just broke. I turned on the accessibility so that I can lock it from there, but sometimes my phone freezes and I need to turn it off and then back on. The only problem is that I can't seem to figure out a way to turn it off now that the lock/power button is broken. Anyone know what I can do?

How to turn off an iPhone with no power button or a broken power button:
- Enable Assistive Touch: Tap SETTINGS, General, Accessibility, AssistiveTouch (near the bottom) and tap AssistiveTouch to ON. You will now notice a small dark square with a circle in the middle (you can move this square anywhere). Tap the dark circle to open the assistiveTouch menu, then tap Device and tap and HOLD the Lock Screen icon. This will bring up the iPhone's Power-Off slider - no need for a power button any longer! **Voted Best Method to turn off an iPhone with a broken power button
