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 when not needed.

For Wi-Fi: Toggle Wi-Fi off and on, 'Forget This Network' in `Settings` > `Wi-Fi` and reconnect. Restart your router. For cellular: Ensure 'Cellular Data' is enabled in `Settings` > `Cellular`, toggle 'Airplane Mode' on and off, and check with your carrier for service outages.
Apps are crashing or freezing.
