Troubleshooting
Device not turning on
Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable and a compatible adapter for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, perform a force restart by quickly pressing and releasing the Volume Up button, quickly pressing and releasing the Volume Down button, then pressing and holding the Side button until the Apple logo appears.
Poor Wi-Fi or Cellular signal
Toggle Airplane mode on and then off. Restart your iPhone. Check for iOS updates. Ensure you are within a strong signal area. For Wi-Fi, restart your router. If using Satellite features, ensure you have a clear view of the sky.
App crashing or freezing
Close the app and reopen it. If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the app. Ensure your iOS is updated to the latest version, as updates often include bug fixes.
Overheating during use
Close demanding apps and reduce usage for a while. Ensure the device is not in direct sunlight or a hot environment. Remove the case if one is in use. Check for software updates, as they can improve thermal management.
Face ID not working
Ensure the TrueDepth camera area is clean and unobstructed. Make sure your face is properly aligned with the screen. Reset Face ID in Settings > Face ID & Passcode. If the issue persists, contact Apple Support.
