There are lots of things that can go wrong with our phones, but we don't always know if it's time for a replacement or if we can fix the issue ourselves. Here's how to tell when it's time for an upgrade or replacement on your iPhone.
Here are some signs that your iPhone may need replacing:
How often should you replace your iPhone?
If you're experiencing an issue that you can't solve, it may be time to replace your iPhone. If the problems you're having are completely normal for an older device, then the problem might be with the phone itself and not a software issue.Here are some signs that your iPhone may need replacing:
When should you replace your iPhone?
So when should you replace your iPhone?
If you drop your phone and the screen cracks, or if it gets damaged by water or liquid, then yes,
you will need to replace it. If your phone isn’t charging properly or if there are any issues with the battery life of your device then that could be a reason why replacing would be needed as well. If you have one of these things happen then don’t hesitate to contact Apple Support right away!
Avoid dropping your iPhone. Don't take your phone into situations where it might get dropped (bars, parties), and don't hold other people's phones when they're drunk or doing something stupid like going down the stairs backwards (true story). If someone drops their phone in front of you, pick it up carefully and hand it back to them (or run away as fast as possible). You may want to invest in a case for extra protection.
Don't use harsh chemicals on your iPhone's screen or body - this includes cleaning products that contain vinegar and alcohol! These chemicals can damage the finish on your device!
Restart your iPhone regularly - this will help fix minor issues with apps crashing or not working properly! To restart: hold down power button until "slide to power off" appears at bottom of screen then click power off icon; wait 30 seconds before turning back on again by holding down home button until apple logo appears then wait another 5-10 seconds before unplugging charger cable if necessary so that battery doesn't drain too quickly during these steps; finally turn back onto home screen where all apps should start functioning normally again now instead of freezing up every few minutes!
