If you are lucky enough to own an iPhone, the chances are you really like it, and use it almost constantly. Most Apple users rely heavily on their devices, so when they go wrong they want to get them fixed as soon as possible.

Below we have listed the most common issues that iPhones have and provide you with advice about how to solve them, and do so quickly.

Dodgy batteries

The older a phone gets the harder it becomes it is for it to hold a charger. This is normal. All batteries degrade with use, so if you own an older phone the only solution is to buy a replacement battery. If you have a new phone, you may need to turn off some of the apps that are running in the background.

Cracked screens

Most of us have dropped our Smartphone at some point, which means that cracked screens are a common problem. If you have done this, the best approach is to get it repaired, and do so immediately.

Avoid the temptation to carry on using it and send it somewhere like Fix Apple Now in Hallandale. They will quickly replace the screen and send it back to you via a fast courier service. When you use them, you will not have to go for long without your phone. In addition, this approach reduces the danger of dust, dirt and moisture getting into your handset via the cracked screen, which can cause long-term damage.

Water logged phones

If you are very unlucky, you will drop your phone into water. When that happens it feels like a disaster but, fortunately, most modern iPhones can be dried out, and restored to full working order.

The best approach is to hook the phone out of the water quickly and dry it straight away using a towel or tissue. Once you have got rid of the surface water, shake the phone gently. This will allow some of the water, which has got inside of the unit, to exit your phone via the microphone and charger slots.

Once you have got as much moisture out as possible out, you need to put your handset into a container with a substance that will absorb the water. Uncooked rice does a good job, but those little bags of silica you find in furniture packaging are even better. If you have enough of those, pop them in a plastic container with your handset. They will dry your phone out fast.

This method works with tablets too. You can find out more about drying out a tablet via this link. The important subject of whether you should turn your gadget off before putting it into the drying out substance is discussed in this article, so it is well worth reading.

Bear in mind that, your phone may still be under warranty, or insured. In which case, you may be able to claim compensation or get it fixed for free. It is always worth checking this before attempting a repair yourself.
