The iPhone® is one of the most popular smartphones out there. It offers cutting-edge technology and can provide many years of use if you take good care of it. However, as you take your phone with you everywhere and use it daily, there’s a good chance you’ll eventually need iPhone repairs to extend its life span. Here are a few of the most common reasons people need iPhone repairs.

Old Battery

As a battery ages, it will not be able to hold a charge as well. This is a problem that can only be fixed with a new battery. When you can no longer get through the day without your phone dying, it’s time to take it in for a battery replacement. Most iPhone batteries typically last for about 400 charges or two years of use. Once you get a new one, maximize its life span by avoiding extreme temperatures and not letting it completely die.

Cracked Screen

A cracked screen may or may not impact the ability to use your phone, but it can lead to larger cracks and possibly cause cuts from glass shards, so it should be repaired as soon as possible. Once you get your new screen, protect it from future impacts by putting a strong case on it, as well as a glass screen protector.

Water Damage

Contrary to popular opinion, you should not place your phone in a bag of rice when it’s been accidentally dropped in water. Leaving the moisture inside can cause permanent damage to the electrical components. Instead, don’t try to use the phone or plug it in; have a professional take it apart and dry it from the inside out. To protect your Apple® device in the future, look for a case that is waterproof or at least water-resistant.
