The iPhone® is the world’s most famous cell phone. Despite its popularity, however, the device is not meant to last forever. If you own one, you will likely need cell phone repair at some point. Here are a few ways you can tell it’s time to get your iPhone serviced by a professional. 

How to Tell You Need Cell Phone Repair

1. Slow Performance

If you’ve had your iPhone for a few years, it will function more slowly the more it’s used. Over time, apps, photos, videos, and documents take up space on the phone’s hard drive, and everyday use adds wear and tear to the internal components. You can clear out files you no longer need by deleting them or backing them up onto a computer or storage app. However, if that doesn’t resolve the issue, seek the assistance of a cell phone repair professional. 

2. Lost Charging Capabilities

A phone that won’t charge can be the result of a few issues. For instance, the charging cable could have damage. Check both ends of the cord for signs of wear. If necessary, replace the cable. The charging port could also have debris, so clean it with a small cloth or duster. If the phone still doesn't charge after troubleshooting, there may be an issue with the battery, for which you will need a replacement. 

3. Cracks & Other Impact Damage

Dropping an iPhone may crack its screen, but a sturdy case can prevent severe cosmetic damage. However, if the force of the fall is strong enough, it can also damage the phone’s internal parts. A technician will inspect the iPhone’s impact sensors and pinpoint the damaged areas or repair the screen.
