From communication and music to GPS and productivity, an iPhoneⓇ allows you to harness the power of a supercomputer in your pocket. While the smartphone definitely makes life easier, it's not immune to breakdowns. Here's a look at some of the top problems users experience, as well as the associated iPhone repairs. 

Your Guide to Common iPhone Issues

1. Cracked Screen

From dropping it on concrete to sitting on it, screen cracks are one of the most frustrating problems. Not only do they inhibit a user's ability to read the screen correctly, but the glass can also cause injury. To rectify a broken screen, have it replaced. After the iPhone repair, use a heavy-duty screen protector to prevent cracks in the future. 

2. White or Black Screen

A phone that only displays a single color can signify a software or hardware problem. A backlit white screen without any text or images usually occurs after a system upgrade failure. In such instances, restarting the device may help, but if that's unsuccessful, a reset may be necessary. 

A blank, black screen, on the other hand, is common with hardware damage, such as dropping the phone or water damage. It can also indicate malware or corrupted applications. To fix the issues, you need to first identify the root problem. In most cases, a professional evaluation is recommended. 

3. Fast-Draining Battery

A dead phone can be frustrating, and, unfortunately, the problem occurs more often as time goes by. Regular wear and tear can drain the battery as can apps running in the background. While turning off applications and uninstalling heavy energy consumers, like GPS, can increase battery life, a replacement is often required. However, if the problem didn't start occurring until a software upgrade, a factory reset may fix the issue.
