All sorts of troubles with mobile devices happen all the time. The most characteristic of them for Apple smartphones are sorted further.

Screen and case damage

In the first place among all the possible reasons for the failure of "apple" smartphones, there are problems caused by falls. Depending on the strength and angle of impact on the ground, the iPhone may fail some important components (more on that below), but the visible part of the vulnerability during falls is damage to the screen and body of the device. Replacing a damaged matrix is not a cheap pleasure. Especially when it comes to the latest generations of iPhone with "X" model index designations. They have a larger screen area, the matrix is “built” on the basis of OLED technology, and the stretching of the display almost along the entire perimeter of the front panel directly affects the deterioration of maintainability.

Useful advice! "Put" your iPhone in a case and stick a protective glass over its display. They are not a panacea, but in most cases they will save the “carcass” of the smartphone from serious damage.

With the appearance on board Apple iPhone 8 64 GB long-awaited support for wireless charging according to the Qi standard, the back of iPhones has also become glass. Despite the assurances of the Cupertino workers that there is surgical steel under it, and the product itself is not scratched and has maximum strength, you can’t argue with physics - if the device falls on a hard surface with the “sirloin” part down, it will break with a very high probability. A powerful direct blow to the rear window leads to similar unpleasant consequences.

Battery problems

Complaints about reduced battery life, spontaneous smartphone shutdowns and bloating of its “belly” are not uncommon for the entire iPhone tribe. The reason for this is often a losing battery. Its resource is not eternal, and after a couple of years of active everyday use of the gadget, the accumulated problems with the battery come out.

A visit to the service does not need to be shelved if:

  • the phone turns off until it is completely discharged;
  • the battery loses its charge unusually quickly;
  • the device turns off in the cold or in the heat;
  • there are visible “bulges” on the back cover or, even worse, on the screen.
Bloating of the "belly" was observed in some copies of the 8th "iPhone" at the dawn of its sales.

The procedure for replacing the battery can be "cranked" in a proven service for some 15-30 minutes. Most importantly, do not replace the original battery with all sorts of "Chinese".

Important advice! In any matters of iPhone repair, you should not trust self-taught masters from the nearest underground passage. Having once saved on work and components, you risk being left with problems one-on-one and getting into an even larger amount of repairs. For example, a low-grade battery will suddenly “die” at some point, and the “uneven” hands of the so-called “master” can damage important cables when opening the case (which is the main reason for the failure of the FaceID system).

Use of non-certified chargers

iPhone mass murderers are uncertified Chinese chargers. In addition to the negative impact on the battery, the “charger” from the layout near the metro station can render the power controller unusable, damage the connector, or cause the device to catch fire. In addition, a rare “noname” bird from the Middle Kingdom has the functions of stabilizing the voltage in the power supply network.

The "Label" MFi approved (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPad) is placed on accessories for Apple technology that have been certified for compliance with a huge list of requirements.

This is true for both stationary chargers and car chargers. The latter sin with problems of power surges much more. To minimize possible risks, give preference only to certified products (with the MFi label on board).

Moisture ingress

"Apple" smartphones have acquired basic water protection of the case since the Apple iPhone 7 32 GB . However, if the integrity of the case or the conditions of "bathing" are violated, the insidious water can still seep into the device's case. Water damages microcircuits, oxidizes contacts, and disables the speaker cable (in passing, catching the FaceID system). With drowned smartphones, you need to play ahead of the curve - the faster you can deliver the device to a specialized service for drying, the more likely it is to be fully restored after “pumping out” in the future.

Touchscreen not responding to touch

Most often, problems with the touchscreen occur after the notorious falls of the smartphone - even in the absence of visible damage, individual areas of the touch layer may stop responding to finger touches. The verdict here is often unequivocal - replacing the display unit.

“Apparently, the touchscreen has fallen into hibernation,” the newly minted owners of the iPhone X considered in the first frosty days of the life of the “X” generation of Apple mobile gadgets.

In some cases, problems with the responsiveness of the front panel are the result of a software failure or failure of the motherboard. The problem with the touchscreen of a software nature was observed at first in Apple iPhone X 256 GB - it stopped responding to touch when the temperature dropped. It was enough just to go out of the warm room to the street at a temperature overboard of about 0 ° C and below. The bug was fixed in the next firmware update of the device.

Burn-in of pixels on the screen

Happy owners of the iPhone, starting from generation X, may face such a problem. It was in the "top ten" that the OLED matrix was first used, the pixels on which can burn out when a static image is displayed for a long time. However, this is a feature of the technology for creating screens on organic light-emitting diodes, and not only iPhones suffer from it.

Microphone and speaker problems

First of all, the iPhone is a "mobile phone". This means that the microphone and earpiece play a very significant role in the device. Malfunctions with them happen due to moisture ingress and as a result of falls. Less commonly, internal microcircuits are found guilty of their occurrence.

The microphone loses ground on board the iPhones quite rarely.

The path-path to the smartphone to the service center is ordered if extraneous noises and wheezing are heard through the slots of the speaker, and the interlocutors often complain about the poor audibility of you in a conversation.

Camera does not work

Apple smartphones are loved by many adepts of the mobile photography genre. They take great pictures, write stabilized video and cope with complex lighting scenes with a bang. As in the vast majority of cases, troubles with the camera are usually the result of an unsuccessful landing of the device after “flying” from hands, from a table, etc. For the most part, autofocus suffers, which ceases to correctly focus on the subject.

Signs of errors in the software are the constantly “flying out” application “Camera”, the disappearance of the picture during the shooting and other similar scenarios. To solve such malfunctions, it is enough to restart the device or install a system update package.

iPhone does not catch the network

Failures in matters of receiving signals from mobile communication towers happen among iPhones with enviable regularity. Sometimes this is the fault of the service provider, but more often it is a problem with the SIM card or a damaged antenna inside the device case. The most common reason for it to break is what do you think? Of course, the fall of the "tube".

The "No Service" icon in the upper left corner of the screen has spoiled a lot of nerves for iPhone owners.

Spontaneous reboot

Reboot for no reason at all is a sure sign of the imminent death of the battery, as described above, or a malfunction in the smartphone software. If the spontaneous reboot of the iPhone is repeated cyclically, it is most likely impossible to do without the help of specialists from an authorized service.

That's all. Let your gadgets "do not get sick"!
