Troubleshooting
Device won't turn on

If the issue persists, try force restarting the iPhone: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button, press and quickly release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.
Poor Wi-Fi or Cellular signal
Check if Wi-Fi Assist is enabled (Settings > Cellular) and disable it if necessary. Toggle Airplane Mode on for 30 seconds and then off. Reset network settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings). Ensure your SIM card is properly inserted.
Apps crashing or freezing
Close the app completely by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and pausing, then swipe the app preview up. Re-open the app. If the problem continues, try deleting the app and reinstalling it from the App Store. Ensure iOS is up to date.
Battery draining faster than expected
Check Battery usage in Settings to identify apps consuming the most power. Reduce screen brightness, disable Background App Refresh for non-essential apps, and enable Low Power Mode. Ensure your iOS is updated, as updates often include battery optimizations.
Camera not focusing or showing a black screen
Clean the camera lenses gently with a microfiber cloth. Close the Camera app and reopen it. Restart the iPhone. If the issue persists, try a force restart. Check if the LiDAR scanner or camera lens is obstructed.
