How durable is the iPhone XR?
The iPhone XR features a durable glass front and back with an aerospace-grade aluminum band. It is also rated IP67 for splash, water, and dust resistance, meaning it can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. However, water damage is not covered under warranty.

Troubleshooting
iPhone XR won't turn on or respond.
Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source using the provided charging cable. If it still doesn't respond, perform a force restart: quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
SIM card not detected or no service.
First, ensure your SIM card is correctly inserted into the tray. Remove and reinsert it. Check if the SIM card is active with your carrier. If the issue persists, try restarting the iPhone or testing with another known-good SIM card (if available).
Wi-Fi connection issues.
Try turning Wi-Fi off and then back on in Settings > Wi-Fi. Restart your router and modem. If the problem continues, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase all network settings, so you'll need to re-enter Wi-Fi passwords.
Apps are crashing or freezing.
Ensure your iOS operating system is up to date (Settings > General > Software Update). Also, check if the app itself has updates available in the App Store. If the problem persists with a specific app, try deleting and reinstalling it.
Battery drains too quickly.
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health to check its maximum capacity. In Settings > Battery, you can also see which apps are consuming the most power. Adjust background app refresh (Settings > General > Background App Refresh) and location services (Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services) for less frequently used apps. Reduce screen brightness.
