Apple is constantly updating the iPhone design and iOS software, so naturally there may be a few annoying issues here and there.
Here are some of the most common iPhone problems, and how you can solve them.
How to fix the “slide to update” problem
Many iPhone 6 users have reported that their phones will freeze at the “slide to update” screen. Obviously this isn’t ideal, but fortunately the fix is quick and easy. Firstly, hold down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds, which will automatically jumpstart the process. If this doesn’t work try unplugging your phone from the computer and shut down iTunes.
How to fix the iOS 9 battery life problem
One of the biggest draws of the iOS 9 system update is that it significantly boosts the iPhone’s battery life. While most users are seeing an increase in battery life after the update, a few have seen the opposite effect.
If you’re one of the few whose battery life is worse off after the update, don’t panic. Simply wait a few days for the update to take effect. Your battery life should start to improve after a day or two.
How to fix the iPhone 6S touch screen problems
A common problem with the iPhone 6 and 6S is that the touch screen may stop responding to touch gestures.
The fix is simple enough. Simply hold down the home button and power button to reboot the phone. Once it boots up again the touch screen should be working.
If it doesn’t work after the first reboot you may need to reboot your phone again. Some users have reported that it can take up to three reboots before the touch screen starts working again.
How to fix the iPhone 6S photo quality problem
One of the biggest appeals of the iPhone 6 and 6S are their great 12MP rear cameras. However, certain users have reported that they are experiencing low quality images in low-light settings.
If you’re noticing that your iPhone 6 is taking poor images, first try turning off the Live Photo features that debuted on the iPhone 6. Turning off the Live Photo feature stops the camera from shooting at 12FPS and will instead capture the photo at more optimal settings.
How to fix the the iOS 9 iMessage problems
The iOS 9 system update has included a common issue with the iMessage feature. Luckily, it’s easy to fix.
Simply turn the iMessage feature on and off again by going into Settings > Messages > Toggle iMessage off. If this doesn’t work then try rebooting your phone as stated above or by resetting your Network Settings.
