Troubleshooting

iPhone will not turn on

Ensure the iPhone is charged by connecting it to a power source using a USB-C to Lightning cable and an adapter (sold separately). If the screen remains black, try forcing a restart: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.

Poor Wi-Fi or Cellular signal

Check if Wi-Fi Assist is enabled (Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Assist) and consider turning it off if you want to prioritize Wi-Fi. For cellular, ensure Airplane Mode is off and that you have good signal coverage. Restart your iPhone and your Wi-Fi router. Reset network settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings) as a last resort.

App crashing or freezing

Close the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing in the middle, then swipe the app's preview card up. If the issue persists, try restarting your iPhone. If it continues, delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store.

Overheating

Avoid using the iPhone in direct sunlight or leaving it in hot environments. Remove any case that might be trapping heat. Close unused apps running in the background. If the device is uncomfortably warm, close all apps and let it cool down. Software updates can also improve thermal management.

Battery draining quickly

Check Battery usage in Settings to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, enable Low Power Mode, turn off Background App Refresh for non-essential apps, and disable Location Services for apps that don't require it constantly. Ensure iOS is up to date.
