Although the iPhone® is one of the most popular smartphones in the world, it isn’t free from occasional glitches. If you have an iPhone, you may eventually need smartphone repairs to fix software problems or hardware damage, but you might also be able to fix certain issues on your own. To prepare for any situations that might arise while using your phone, below are a few typical problems to keep on your radar. 

3 Common iPhone Concerns

1. Difficulty Connecting to Wi-Fi

You use your iPhone for much more than making phone calls, which means you need a reliable Wi-Fi connection to check email, write messages on Facebook, stream videos, and tend to other tasks. If you can’t connect, restart the phone and log back into the router. If that doesn’t fix the issue, go into the “Settings” menu, then choose “General,” “Reset,” and “Reset Network Settings” to change passwords to your network. Falling behind with software updates could cause connection problems, so make sure the latest version is installed on your device. If all else fails, a smartphone repair specialist can investigate.

2. Cracked & Chipped Screen

No matter how careful you are, accidents do happen. The impact from a drop on the ground or bump against an object can cause the glass to chip, crack, or completely shatter. This makes it difficult to see the interface display or use its touch-sensitive features. You could also get cut on the fragments, so take the device to a smartphone repair technician. In addition to replacing the glass, they will also examine additional components for damage.  

3. Charging Issues

If your smartphone is plugged in but the charging icon doesn’t appear, there could be several reasons why. First, make sure the charger and outlet are both clean, as debris could block the electrical charge. You might also need to replace a worn or bent cable, as the wires inside could be broken. If neither of these solutions does the trick, a repair technician can examine your phone to see if there is internal damage.
