Is the battery brand new?

Troubleshooting
iPhone won't turn on.
Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to the provided wall adapter and charging cable for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, try 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.
Battery drains quickly.
Check battery usage in Settings > Battery to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable Background App Refresh for non-essential apps, and turn off Location Services for apps that don't need it. Ensure your iOS is updated to the latest version.
Apps are crashing or freezing.
Try force-quitting the problematic app (swipe up from the bottom and swipe the app card away) and reopening it. If the issue persists, restart your iPhone. Ensure the app itself and your iOS are updated. If the problem continues with a specific app, try reinstalling it.
Poor network or Wi-Fi connectivity.
For mobile data (4G), ensure your SIM card is properly inserted and your cellular plan is active. Try toggling Airplane Mode on and off. For Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 5), try forgetting the network (Settings > Wi-Fi > 'i' icon > Forget This Network) and reconnecting. Reboot your Wi-Fi router. If issues persist, reset network settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings).
Face ID is not working.
Ensure your face is unobstructed and you are holding the phone at a natural distance. Clean the front camera and sensor area. Try resetting Face ID in Settings > Face ID & Passcode and setting it up again. Ensure your iOS is up to date.
