No matter what iPhone® model you have, you’d probably prefer fixing it rather than replacing it when there’s a problem, right? As Stark County’s leading iPhone repair experts, Experimac Canton OH understands you may want to try troubleshooting the issue on your own before bringing it all the way to them. Below, they explain what to do if your phone is experiencing certain issues as well as when you should replace your device. 

Common iPhone Problems & Solutions

Phone Won’t Charge

If you have a phone that doesn’t keep a charge anymore, it’s likely because its battery needs to be replaced. If your phone is still under warranty and its battery is functioning at less than 80% of its capacity, Apple will replace it free of charge. You can also replace the battery yourself, although if you’re not such a tech wiz, it’s a good idea to bring it to an iPhone repair professional to ensure the job is done properly. Experimac Canton OH will easily switch out your iPhone battery in a matter of minutes while you wait, making it much faster than attempting to perform the repairs yourself. 

Water Damage

Afterwards, power it down and cover your phone with uncooked rice or silica gel packets for 48 hours; this removes the excess moisture. Often, these steps are enough to avoid a trip to the iPhone repair shop; however, if your phone is still unresponsive after a few days, you may need to take it to an expert. 

When to Repair vs. Replace

When the cost of repairs outweighs the price of buying a new phone, consider replacing your device. This is rare, as nearly everything from screens to interior components can be replaced. But if your phone has extensive electrical or water damage and its components need to be switched out, it is easier to replace it. This is especially true if you don’t want to wait until the new parts arrive from the manufacturer. 

iPhone repairs can help you save hundreds and avoid purchasing a new phone. If your phone won’t stay charged or you drop it in water, Experimac Canton OH is always happy to help.
