The iPhone® is an invaluable device that allows you to carry an unparalleled computer and communications device right in your pocket. Like any electronic machine, though, it can experience certain problems that require professional attention. Here's a look at the most common iPhone repair issues and how to address them.

What Problems Is an iPhone Most Vulnerable To?

1. Cracked Screen

Because you need to select touchscreen buttons for dialing, playing games, and browsing the internet, a cracked screen can make it difficult to use your phone at all. A simple break along the edge might not cause any interference, but a large spiderweb crack in the middle of the screen could be disastrous. 

Fortunately, it is easy and fairly inexpensive to replace the screen. Take the device to a trusted expert, who will be able to provide a crystal-clear new screen with minimal waiting. Afterward, protect your phone with a sturdy case and apply a translucent screen protector.

2.  Power-Up Problems

Normally, being unable to turn the iPhone on means that the battery is dead. Plug the device in and let it charge for an hour or so and try turning it on again. If this doesn't work, you might have a bad charging port or a defective battery. Contact an iPhone repair shop to replace the port or install a new battery.

3. Water Damage

It's very common for users to drop their iPhone in a sink, toilet, or a body of water. Unless you act quickly, this could cause the device to short out and stop working permanently. 

If yours gets wet, take it out of the water and power it off as quickly as possible. Remove all accessories, disassemble the device, and dry everything with a clean towel. 

For many years, iPhone models haven't been equipped with removable batteries, so the next step is to seal the entire device in a plastic container of dry white rice for 48 hours to absorb as much moisture as possible. Placing it in a sealed plastic bag with silica packets is another trick that works well. Try powering it up again after two days.
