Troubleshooting
iPhone won't turn on or is unresponsive
First, connect your iPhone to a charger and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes. If it remains unresponsive, perform 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.
Poor battery life or quick draining
Go to `Settings > Battery` to review battery usage by apps and identify potential culprits. Enable `Low Power Mode` when needed, reduce screen brightness, and manage `Background App Refresh`. If `Battery Health` (under `Settings > Battery`) shows significantly reduced maximum capacity, consider a battery replacement.
Apps crashing or freezing frequently
Ensure both your apps and the iOS operating system are fully updated to their latest versions. Force-quit the problematic app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (then swipe the app card away). If the issue persists, try deleting and reinstalling the app.
Face ID is not working or unreliable
Ensure your face is clearly visible to the camera and not obstructed by anything like a mask or accessories. Clean the front camera and TrueDepth sensor area with a soft cloth. If issues continue, try resetting Face ID in `Settings > Face ID & Passcode` and setting it up again.
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi or cellular data
For Wi-Fi: Restart your Wi-Fi router and your iPhone. You can also 'Forget This Network' in `Settings > Wi-Fi` and then reconnect. For cellular data: Toggle `Airplane Mode` on and off in `Control Center` or `Settings`. Verify your cellular plan is active with your carrier. As a last resort, go to `Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings` (this will reset all Wi-Fi passwords and cellular settings).

Care
