Troubleshooting
iPhone 6s will not turn on
Connect the iPhone to a power adapter and a wall outlet. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, try a different charging cable and adapter, or force restart by holding the side button and Home button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Poor Wi-Fi or Cellular Signal
Toggle Airplane mode on and off. Restart your iPhone. Ensure your Wi-Fi router is functioning correctly. For cellular, check carrier coverage in your area and ensure your SIM card is properly seated.
Apps crashing or freezing
Close the app by double-pressing the Home button and swiping the app up. If the issue persists, delete the app and re-download it from the App Store. Ensure your iOS is up to date.
Touchscreen is unresponsive
Clean the screen and ensure your hands are dry. Try a force restart (hold side and Home buttons). If the problem continues, there may be a hardware issue requiring service.
