A lot of iPhone^® users try to keep their gadgets safe from daily wear and tear by investing in sturdy casings and screen protectors. However, performance issues might still crop up, and hardware damage is almost inevitable with frequent use. Some problems can be resolved by searching for answers online, but if you don’t want to risk damaging your device, you should get cellphone repair from a trusted electronics technician. Here are a few problems often encountered with an iPhone.

5 Problems That Require Cellphone Repair

1. Poor Battery Life

When you notice your battery draining faster than usual, check the charging port and cable. Plug in the cable to other USB outlets to see if it’s working, and clean the port on your device to remove accumulated dust and debris. If both are functioning, the culprit might be the battery itself. Have your device checked by an authorized cellphone repair company to see if the battery needs to be replaced.

2. Overheating

Many devices overheat with heavy use, so let your iPhone cool down when it gets too hot. Check which apps utilize the most power and cause considerable stress on the phone’s processor. In some instances, a failing battery results in excessive warmth, so you might need to replace it before it causes damage to other components.

3. Dead System

If your iPhone is stuck on the Apple^® logo or a white screen after turning it on, try charging the device since it might be running low on battery. If it remains frozen or unresponsive—even after repeated hard resets—then the issue might be software or hardware related and require professional assistance.

4. Unresponsive Touch Screen

An unresponsive touch screen is one of the most common iPhone issues. Try wiping the screen clean with a cloth or remove any films or protectors over it to improve responsiveness and sensitivity. If this doesn’t work, your screen might be broken and need to be replaced.  

5. Water Damage

Accidental spills and dropping your phone in wet places often result in water damage. There are plenty of do-it-yourself solutions to try, such as soaking it in a bag of rice. However, if you want to be safe, bring your device to a cellphone repair shop instead, so they can diagnose the extent of the damage.
