Troubleshooting
iPhone won't turn on
Ensure the iPhone is charged by connecting it to a power source using the Lightning cable and a compatible adapter. If it still doesn't turn on, try forcing a restart by quickly pressing and releasing the Volume Up button, then quickly pressing and releasing the Volume Down button, and finally pressing and holding the Side button until the Apple logo appears.
Poor Wi-Fi or cellular signal
Toggle Airplane Mode on and then off to reset network connections. Check for software updates, as these often include network performance improvements. Ensure you are in an area with good network coverage. Reset network settings by going to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings (this will erase Wi-Fi passwords).
Apps crashing or freezing
Close the app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (or double-pressing the Home button) and swiping the app away. Relaunch the app. If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the app. Ensure your iOS is up to date.
Wireless charging not working
Ensure your iPhone is placed correctly in the center of the Qi-certified wireless charger. Check that the charging pad is plugged in and functioning correctly with another device. Remove any thick cases or metal objects from the back of the iPhone, as these can interfere with charging. Try a different Qi-certified charger.
Camera issues (blurry photos, not opening)
Clean the camera lenses with a soft cloth. Restart the iPhone. If the issue persists, check if the camera app is updated. If the camera app won't open, force close it. If problems continue, consider a software update or a factory reset (back up data first).
