Force shutdown of iPhone

Question

Is it possible to force the iPhone to shutdown (programmatically, of course)?

Answer 1

Not on an unjailbroken phone, no.

Answer 2

Programatically, you can program a set of lego mindstorm to push the top button and the home button at the same time till it shutsdown ;-)

Answer 3

As has already been answered: No.

In general, the answer to these questions is pretty easy. Ask yourself: "Could this feature be used to interfere with the operation of the iPhone as a phone?"

If the answer is yes, then no, you can't do it.
