Troubleshooting
SIM card not recognized or 'No SIM' message appears
Ensure the SIM card is correctly seated in the tray. Remove the SIM tray, re-insert the SIM card, and push the tray back firmly. If the issue persists, try restarting the iPhone or testing the SIM card in another compatible device to rule out a faulty SIM.
Battery drains quickly
Check `Settings` > `Battery` to see which apps consume the most power. Reduce screen brightness, enable Low Power Mode, disable Background App Refresh for non-essential apps, and turn off location services for apps that don't require them. Consider replacing the battery if its 'Maximum Capacity' in `Battery Health` is very low.
Apps are crashing or freezing
First, close the problematic app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (or double-pressing the Home button if enabled) and swiping the app card upwards. If the issue continues, check the App Store for updates to the app and ensure your iOS is up to date in `Settings` > `General` > `Software Update`. As a last resort, delete and reinstall the app.
Unable to connect to Wi-Fi
Toggle Wi-Fi off and on in Control Center or `Settings`. Restart your iPhone and your Wi-Fi router. If the problem persists, go to `Settings` > `Wi-Fi`, tap the information icon (i) next to your network, and select 'Forget This Network'. Then, reconnect by entering the password again.
Screen is unresponsive or frozen
Perform a force restart: Quickly press and release the Volume Up button. Quickly press and release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
