Battery drains quickly.
Check battery usage in `Settings` > `Battery` to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, turn off Background App Refresh for non-essential apps, and disable Location Services for apps that don't need it. Ensure your iOS is up to date.
Apps are crashing or freezing.
Close the problematic app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and swiping the app card upwards. Reopen the app. If the issue persists, restart your iPhone. Ensure the app is updated to its latest version from the App Store.
Face ID is not working.
Ensure your face is fully visible and not obstructed by masks, hats, or sunglasses. Check that Face ID is enabled in `Settings` > `Face ID & Passcode`. If it still fails, try resetting Face ID and setting it up again in the same settings menu.
Limited storage space (64 GB model).
Go to `Settings` > `General` > `iPhone Storage` to see what's using space. Delete unnecessary apps, large videos, or photos. Consider offloading photos/videos to cloud services (like iCloud Photos) or transferring them to a computer. Enable 'Offload Unused Apps' in iPhone Storage settings.
