When it comes to the sauciest and the juiciest gossip from the world of Apple and iPhones, there’s nothing bigger than an incoming iPhone operating system (iOS) or a new version’s release coming round the corner. The world of iOS and Apple in general is so specific with their updates, additions, and new versions that there’s an excitement within the Apple community and even outside where news portals are full of gossip, leaks, and whatnot! That is now the case as we draw closer to the release of iOS 17.

But then how do you know what to believe and what not to believe? What are the trustworthy sources you can believe and which ones should be avoided completely? Well, for starters you can read this blog and find out the genuine news related to iOS 17. So let us begin!
First things first, what’s the iOS 17 Release Date in India?
iOS 17 Release Date
The iOS 17 release date was expected to be somewhere in the month of June after the WWDC conference gave us enough hints and now we know for sure that iOS 17 will be launched at the annual Worldwide Developer Conference from June 5 to June 9. This will be done via a special one-person event where a dignitary or Apple official, most probably Tim Cook, will come forward to release the new iOS 17.

Though iOS 17 beta access will roll-out immediately, believes iMore, it is said that the official version of the iOS 17 will only be available for users later this year in September. It is understood that the iOS 17 will roll-out only after the launch of the iPhone 15 series so that automatically means September.
iOS 17 Supported Devices
After the release date, the most worrisome piece of news for Apple users is to find out whether their older devices will be able to support the new iOS 17 update or will there be a pressure from Apple to get users to upgrade to newer models. Might work as a tactical move but might also fall flat considering how Apple moves from one flagship to the other in a matter of 365 days flat.
So if you’re worried about the iOS 17 supported device list, you should start by knowing that the iOS 17 will be readily available on the yesteryear iPhone 12 and 13 series and will function full-throttle in the flagship iPhone 14 series and the upcoming iPhone 15 series. We saw that Apple discontinued support for a few iPhones after the launch of iOS 16, namely the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 series and it is believed that they might go a step further when they finally decide to launch iOS 17.

This might see Apple pull their support from the iPhone 8 or iPhone X series. Though Apple may pull away from all models with the A11 bionic chips, it may still be possible that they roll out the latest iPhone Operating System for these models.
iOS 17 Features (Probable)
According to sources, these are some of the reliable features that will most probably come out with the release of iOS 17. Some features might be subject to changes after Apple completes their trial, testing, and error tests in their bunkers. These are the iOS 17 features you can look forward to:
Side-Loading Third-Party Applications
Though this feature might be delayed in India, European and American users may get side-loading options for third-party applications like the Alt Store in iOS 17. This comes after European legislation made it mandatory for Apple to open their operating-systems to third-party applications.

VR Reality Pro Headset Support
Next up, it was rumoured that Apple’s VR Headset is prepping for a big launch, it is expected that Apple will provide support for its newest offering to gel well with the everpresent iPhones.

Third-Party Browsers
Apart from side-loading third-party applications, there’s more fun for third-party platforms as Bloomberg reports that Apple can remove the requirement for third-party browsers to use WebKit. Under the new mandate, Apple may very well remove this obligation to use WebKit.
CarPlay
The next generation Car-Play will likely be released in September as the iOS 17 will be rolled out. The 2023 update will allow Car-Play to provide multi-display support, instrument cluster integration (info on speed, fuel level, engine temperature, oil pressure, and other navigational features), and other widgets for Climate control, FM radio, etc.
Others Fixes and Updates
Goes without saying Apple will release updates for all the bugs and glitches that people experienced with iOS 16 and with these there will be a lot of optimizations that are being rumoured. You can look for other updates in your iPhone to know what to expect from the release of iOS 17.
There are other CarPlay updates, revamping of the Control Center, and other such additions that will be a part of iOS 17, reports MacRumors . You can stay tuned and continue to read our blogs for the latest updates, happenings, and announcements related to Apple and OnePlus.

It feels frustrating indeed when your iPhone gets disabled suddenly and you find yourself locked out of the device. However, just like any other issues such as iTunes sync error 54 and No Service, it also has a quick fix. If you are on the lookout for helpful solutions to get rid of this annoying problem on your device, we’ve got you covered. Let’s get to the root of the problem and fix the ‘iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes’ error!
Why is the “iPhone is disabled. Connect to iTunes” Error appears
Before trying to resolve the “iPhone is Disabled” error, it would be apt to briefly discuss the reasons that might lead to this problem for a better understanding.
As part of the security feature designed to safeguard your data, iOS automatically disables your iPhone if wrong passcode attempts are made more than five times.
To be more precise, when you enter the wrong passcode six times, your iPhone is disabled for one minute. From then onwards, the time increases with every wrong passcode attempt.
When you input the wrong passcode 10 times, your iPhone gets completely disabled, and you are asked to connect to iTunes to restore the device.
Error Messages that Appear After each Wrong Passcode Attempt – iTunes iPhone Disabled
6 failed passcode attempts: iPhone is disabled. Try again in 1 minute
7 failed passcode attempts: iPhone is disabled. Try again in 5 minutes
8 failed passcode attempts: iPhone is disabled. Try again in 15
9 failed passcode attempts: iPhone is disabled. Try again in 60 minutes
10 failed passcode attempts: iPhone is disabled. Connect to iTunes
Side note:
You need to keep in mind that if you have enabled Erase Data setting in the Face/Touch ID section (Settings > Face/Touch ID), all your data will be wiped out when you enter the wrong passcode 10 times.
Another reason why the ‘iPhone is disabled’ error occurs is the screen damage. If the screen is damaged either physically, or sometimes even internally, it tends to develop ghost touch, which causes various sections of the screen to be pressed automatically. As a result, the wrong passcode is entered multiple times, which results in the iPhone getting disabled.
What are the solutions to resolve the iPhone is disabled error?
If your iPhone is disabled due to the entry of wrong passcodes multiple times, you can solve the problem by using these three methods.
Restore the iPhone using Recovery Mode

So, in this guide, we talk about 20 common iPhone problems and their solutions. If your iPhone is malfunctioning, make sure to check out these viable fixes that have worked for many users in troubleshooting the oft-faced iOS issues.
Most recent iPhone problems in 2022 and 2023:
1. iPhone Black Screen of Death
In some cases even the Apple logo does not appear and it can be termed as the iPhone black screen of death. A failed upgrade, jailbreak or hardware problem can cause this iPhone problem and you must start by trying to restart your device. If this doesn’t help in any way then you might have to opt for a hard reset (factory reset) for your iPhone.
If hard reset does not work either then you might have to go for a DFU (device firmware upgrade) boot for your iPhone.
If you do not have an iCloud or iTunes backup then you might not attempt this as it leads to losing your settings and data. So make sure you have a backup or you simply find an expert who can help you resolve this problem.
2. Overheating Issues
There are times when you might get a message like ‘iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it.’ This generally means your iPhone is getting too hot and you might face problems because of the same. There have been instances in the past where an iPhone caught fire or simply exploded because of the rising temperature inside, thus you must be aware of the situation.
To solve this problem – first take your device to a cooler environment, try shutting off a few applications and the bluetooth and then start the recovery. Next, remove the case or cover your iPhone has and stop using it for some time.
You can also try the ‘Reset All Settings’ option on your phone to get over this issue quickly and for a long period of time. Updating to new iOS can also help you get rid of this problem.
If the problem persists despite trying all these methods, you must contact the experts to help you solve this common iPhone problems.
3. iPhone Camera Roll Crash
Camera roll crashes are not that common but can occur due to a lack of storage or other such issues. An iPhone camera roll crash can lead to the loss of hundreds of photos stored in your device. This may also lead to the inability to perform any activity on the existing set of photos and videos.
How to fix this? Start by restoring the iPhone to factory settings. However, as you know, restoring to factory settings will lead to the complete loss of photos, videos, notes, contacts, chat messages, etc.
Thus do it after you’ve taken a backup. Get your iPhone in sync with iCloud or iTunes. You can use a third-party iPhone data recovery software if you cannot connect to iCloud or iTunes. This can be done with the help of an expert who can do it for you.
4. iTunes Error 3194
The iTunes 3194 Error is also something that we don’t see often but is an issue that is faced by thousands of iPhone users. This iTunes 3194 error can be encountered when you are trying to restore or upgrade your iPhone. It can be caused because of a wrong firmware version, a wrong iOS version that is not approved by your device, or when you try to jailbreak your way in.
The solution to this lies in the host files of the iPhone and some changes have to be made in order to remove this error. The other way to do it is to give your device a ‘factory reset’ as we mentioned for many other problems in this blog.
For Windows 5. Wifi Is Not Getting Connected

If the problem continues, you can reset the network settings to get rid of the sluggish network. To do so, go to the Settings app on your device and choose General. Now, tap on Reset and select Reset Network Settings. Once you have successfully reset the network, check out if the problem has been solved.
7. iPhone is Stuck at Apple Logo

Hard Reset iPhone 7/7 Plus: Press and hold the side button and the volume down button at once for a few seconds until the Apple logo shows up.
Hard Reset iPhone 6s or earlier: Hold down the home button and power button simultaneously for a few seconds until the Apple logo appears.
8. iPhone App Freezing/Crashing Randomly
Frankly speaking, apps freezing and crashing is the sort of problem that most of us have come across sometime or the other. Well, the good thing is that you can easily sort it out. Mostly, apps tend to freeze or crash when they are outdated. So, make sure the app in question is updated to the latest version (Go to App Store > Profile. After that, head over to the app that you want to update. Then, hit the Update button).
9. No Newest Version Update
Are you searching for common iPhone problems and solutions before buying a new iPhone? One of the common iPhone problems is that the iPhone is not getting updated to the newest iOS version. The solution goes like this: simply connect your device to Mac or PC and force restart which will bring your iPhone to recovery mode. Then you will be able to see an update option and when you click on it, the update starts and once it is completed your phone will work as normal. If you couldn’t see the update option after force restart, try to restore the option which will remove all data from the phone. You will now get the latest software version and can be restored with the backed up data.
10. Screen Is Cracked
There is nothing quite as annoying as a cracked screen, right? Though the cracked phone can be used for a long time, some day it might suddenly become unusable. So, it is advisable to contact an iPhone repair centre in Delhi. They may opt for iPhone screen replacement in this case. For this problem, there are a number of do it yourself kits available, but approaching the right service centre is a better option as they will finish the job at a reasonable price and accurately.
11. iPhone Data Lost
It is quite frustrating when you lose all the important data from your phone. But this is yet another common problem in the case of iPhones. If you have an iCloud backup, the solution will be easy. Just sync your device to iCloud-iPhone. Syncing can be done at night when it is locked. Your missing content will be available in iCloud. But if you can’t find it there too, you must rush to an Apple store to find any possibilities of getting back the lost data.
12. The Camera Is Not Working
Your iPhone camera will not work if you have any restrictions that are enabled. You can check this by navigating through Settings-General instructions and turning on the Camera. Most of the camera problems will be solved here. If still the camera is not working, try resetting your phone as said earlier. If again you didn’t find any improvement, it could be an issue with the hardware. Take it to an iPhone service centre in Delhi to resolve the issue.
13. Rapid Battery Drain
One of the common problems associated with an iPhone is quick battery drainage. The best solution is to turn off the unwanted apps that you are using. If the iPhone battery issue still exists, it is advisable to contact a service provider as soon as possible.
14. Damage Due To Water
For all electronic equipment, water is a nightmare and the same is applicable in the case of iPhones. Don’t worry if your phone gets submerged in water, as you can try many solutions before giving up. The first thing to do after taking the phone out of the water is to wipe away all the excess water using a tissue paper.
Never try to switch on the phone immediately as it leads to permanent damage. The next thing you must do is take a cup of rice and put your phone in it. The rice will absorb the remaining moisture within 24 hours. Also, you can dismantle the phone and dry it manually, but it needs much skill. If the phone is still not working, you can contact the nearby service provider.
15. Not Getting Charged
Yet another one of the common iPhone problems is the battery not charging when plugged in. There are a couple of solutions to this issue. Wipe the charging port to remove dust or debris.
If the issue still exists, the next step is to check the connection cable if it is working with other Apple devices or if other USB cables are working in the USB plug etc. You can also try to force restart the device, or if it doesn’t work, try a factory reset. If the issue persists, contact the nearest service provider.
16.The Touchscreen Is Not Working
iPhones often face touchscreen issues like when the screen stops responding or if it is displaying only a black screen. The first and foremost solution is to restart your device. If it doesn’t work, charge your device for an hour. Most probably the issue will be solved.
If the screen is cracked and not responding, it might be a hardware problem. So you will need to go for iPhone screen repair. Try contacting an authorised Apple reseller, and your problem will be fixed at a reasonable price.
17. Bluetooth Issues
Out of many common iPhone problems, issues with Bluetooth can be easily resolved by going to settings-general and selecting reset all options and settings. This will remove all saved settings along and solve your issue too.
18. Stuck Volume Button
If the volume button gets stuck, you might feel irritated when calls come in during inconvenient hours. There are many solutions to this issue. You can try turning on airplane mode. So, all calls will be directed to voicemail. Also, you can mute all the sounds on your device. Or you can go to settings-accessibility-assistive touch and turn on assistive mode. Now you will be able to control your device from the home page itself.
19. iPhone Is Slow
Sometimes, your iPhone might run slowly. Don’t worry as there are multiple solutions to this problem. In order to speed up your phone, try removing all apps, redundant data, useless screenshots and even wipe out the browser cache and history.
20. Not Able To Backup The Data
Sometimes the iPhone won’t backup the data to iCloud. If this is your case, check if iCloud storage is full. If it is full, try deleting some data from it. It includes unwanted photos, games etc. game apps take lots of storage space just like a mail app. So clear it off. If you want all the data to be kept, try upgrading the storage plan. Before trying all these steps, you can check for any iOS updates available. If not, try resetting the network options by resetting wifi passwords, cellular and VPN settings. You can do this by going to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.
In a nutshell, these are some of the common iPhone problems and solutions reported till date. If you have faced any difficulty like the above-mentioned ones, try solving it immediately.

Despite having the most powerful iPhones in the market for over 3 months now, it is hard to say whether we’ve reached the level of peak smartphones yet or there’s still time for that tag to be presented to some iPhone model in the future. But it must be said that Apple made some remarkable changes to its flagship iPhone models and that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max gives users the ultimate battery experience. This usually means that your iPhone will now last longer, charge faster, and drop battery slowly in comparison to its predecessors. If we’re talking in terms of iPhone battery mAh, then the iPhone 14 Pro 3200 mAh battery and the iPhone 14 Pro Max comes with a 4323 mAhbattery; which is awesome!
But the surprising bit comes with the iPhone 14 Plus, which starts at Rs. 89,900, and has a 4325 mAh battery; the biggest and best battery backup that we have seen in an iPhone so far barring the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Safe to say, Apple is fulfilling its promise of delivering reasonably priced iPhones with the best battery backup.
But that’s just the case of the latest generation of iPhones in the market. What’s the story as we go behind or go back to a few yesteryear models. Stay tuned as we provide you with the latest iPhone battery mAh list – all the top Apple iPhone battery mAh data that can help you decide what iPhone suits your needs the best if not for the latest iPhone 14 series.
** Standby Performance is measured when the device is in ideal condition, display is not “always on” and location services are turned off. Stress performance is measured when device’s display is “always on” and video is played on any streaming app.
Key Takeaways – For Those Who Are In Awe With iPhones
With the above-mentioned list, you can deduce that the iPhone battery capabilities vary from model to model and year to year and there’s no clear indication from Apple suggesting that all their future iPhone models will boast a better battery life. This can be reflected by comparing the iPhone 7 battery mAh and the iPhone 8 battery mAh. Where the iPhone 7 was boasting 2220 mAh, the successor model didn’t exactly get a promotion in terms of battery.
Similarly, the iPhone XR was an upgrade for the iPhone X but in comparison, the iPhone XR battery mAh(2950 mAh) was reduced by a small margin in comparison to the iPhone X battery mAh (3000 mAh).
But if we see the iPhone 7 battery mAh (2220 mAh) in comparison to the iPhone 7 Plus battery mAh (2900 mAh) then one can deduce that the Plus and Pro models – because of the device’s size – can boast of a better and longer battery performance than the base iPhone models.
Then again, if we put to test two pro models (that are relatively new), the iPhone 11 Pro Max battery mAh (3969 mAh) easily puts to bed its competitor and successor in iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 Pro Max battery mAh (3687 mAh) finds no upgrade where other things do as we shift from iPhone 11 series to iPhone 12 series. In comparison, the iPhone 12 Mini battery mAh (2227 mAh) legitimises the problem of space and the lack of a large battery in the mini models.
Stand-Out Devices
Even though a lot of the previous-year Apple iPhone models are becoming obsolete and most will not have the power of 5G enabled, there are still some worthy devices out there if we’re talking plainly about their battery and camera performance.
These are some of the recommended iPhone models in terms of battery life:
Of course the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Plus are the latest and the go-to options for people but if they’re thinking of shelling a few thousand bucks less, then the iPhone 13 Pro Max has the best battery life in comparison to all other iPhone models. It boasts a 4352 mAh battery, which is the best in the iPhones segment.
Apart from these, the following have a reasonable battery life in accordance with their current market price:
1. iPhone 6S Plus: even though a yesteryear iPhone, the 3500 mAh battery life was brilliant considering the phone was launched in 2015.
2. iPhone X: after a series of iPhones with an average battery life, iPhone X offered a 3000 mAh battery, which was quite a development.
3. iPhone 11 Pro & iPhone 11 Pro Max: the iPhone 11 series took a new turn for the betterment of the new-age iPhones as iPhone 11 Pro Max offered a staggering 3969 mAh battery, where the iPhone 11 Pro also came with an impressive 3048 mAh battery.
4. iPhone 12 Pro Max: as mentioned earlier, the Pro Max models are the biggest in terms of display and overall size and the iPhone 12 Pro Max battery mAh (3687 mAh) is still impressive and quite good for the device.
5. iPhone 13: despite being the base model, the iPhone 13 offers a 3227 mAh battery and that’s great considering the sleek and slim size of the iPhone 13.
These were some of the takeaways after comparing all the iPhone battery capacities and their respective mAh or milliampere per hour of energy charge. You can make sure you revise this basic info before purchasing a new iPhone or going for a refurbished one.

Black Screen: If camera loads to a black screen, rule out the obvious first. Check if anything is blocking the camera sight. If any accessory is hindering, remove it and check the camera again.
Toggle between the front and back camera to check if issue is with both or a single camera. If your device hangs during the toggle, force close the camera app, restart the device and try again. If the issue persists with both cameras, chances are it is software related.
Camera being sluggish or delayed response or app crashes: most likely are software related. First check if there is enough space on your device. If not, free up some space on your device and try again.
Steps that can help resolve software-related issues are explained below.
If these issues persist on your device even after following these hacks, then do not mess up with any other settings rather contact an expert and get a rapid solution to your problem.
To force close the apps in any of your iPhone 12 model, follow these steps –
a) Swipe up from the bottom centre of the screen.
b) Hold the app in the Middle.
c) Then swipe up the camera app to remove it. Do the same with other apps too.
2. Camera being grainy, noisy and blur.
Let’s break this down.
If camera is making a noise, it most certainly is because the camera components are not able to moving freely during zoom because the springs are jammed. This usually happens when the movement of components is restricted because of external magnetic effect. Check if any magnetic element is near the camera, if yes remove it. It is advisable to get you camera checked by experts to ensure no long term damage ASAP.
Grainy/Blur:
-If camera is grainy/blur, check for obstructions. A dirty or worn-out screen protector is a very common reason for blur in front cameras.
-Make sure the camera surface are clean and there are no smug marks, dust or otherwise dirty.
-If you see foreign particles inside the glass, it is advisable to take the device to get the cameras and camera lens covers cleaned or it can cause permanent damage to camera lens.
-This could be settings issue as well. Check if your focus settings are the way you want them to be. It is advisable to keep auto focus ON. Make sure you have right exposure and effect settings.
-If none of above helps, call the experts.
3. Is your iPhone 12 camera freezing i.e., while capturing an image or a video your device gets stuck on a screen for a few seconds?
This could be a software issue.
Recommendations:
Make sure you have enough free space on the device. Not enough free space can result in frequent crashing of your camera app.
Using the native app is highly recommended. The iphone camera app is very intuitive, easy to use and is best suited for the corresponding hardware.
Actions
Close the camera app and start it again. If it is just an app glitch, this will take care of it.
If issue persist, restart the device.
Check for updates. Apple constantly rolls out updates to fix the known bugs and rollout enhancements and new features. We highly recommend to keep the iOS updated always. If there is an update pending, updating can help resolve most of the software issues.
Lastly, we can try restoring the device to factory settings. Please do take a backup of required data before performing this step otherwise you will lose it. If your camera is malfunctioning because of a software glitch, restoring the OS to factory settings will most definitely resolve the issue.
If camera issue still persist, it most definitely is a hardware issue. Call the experts.
To restart any iPhone 12 model, follow these steps mentioned below-
Tap the Volume up button.
Tap the volume down button.
Hold the power button up to 3-4 sec until the apple logo appears and then wait for the iPhone to restart.
4. Many bugs and glitches can be fixed by updating your iPhone 12 to the latest iOS. But don’t interfere much with the settings as it may lead to settings misconfiguration. Rather contact an expert if the situation is getting too messy for you to handle.
To update to the latest iOS in your iPhone 12 follow these simple steps.
Go to Settings app.
Click Software Updates.
Wait for a few seconds for device to check for updates.
Then tap on download and install.
5. If the above-mentioned hacks didn’t work out for you then tweak a bit into camera settings and turn on the Smart HDR. To do so follow these steps-
Open SETTINGS.
Navigate to the CAMERA
Turn on Smart HDR using the toggle button on the right side. This can fix certain issue. Follow these steps to turn on Smart HDR.
The last hack which most people would recommend you to do is, to reset or restore your device which may fix the issue with your camera but we won’t recommend it to you until and unless you have a proper data backup as it may cause a permanent loss of your data.
If the issues with your camera persist despite following all the hacks and you find yourself in a mess then first don’t panic, and just relax! When a hassle-free service like “RapidRepair” is just a click away then you don’t have to either run to an Apple service centre and wait in a long queue or take the risk of getting low-quality services from a local repair shop near your house.

If you’ve ever wondered how screen mirroring in iPhone works and how you can do screen mirroring from iPhone to a smart TV, then you are at the right place. Read on.
What is Screen Mirroring in iPhone
Screen mirroring is the process when you replicate your iPhone screen onto a Mac, Apple TV or Smart TV. In screen mirroring, whatever you are playing or doing on your smartphone is displayed on the TV over a Wi-Fi connection.

There is a difference between mirroring and AirPlay. While mirroring creates a duplicate of what you are doing on the iPhone, AirPlay lets you share any image, audio, or video being played on your iPhone to a TV without any loss in quality.
How to Screen Mirror Your iPhone to a TV or Mac
Follow these steps for screen mirroring iPhone to a TV or Mac:
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network that your Mac, Apple TV or an AirPlay 2 Compatible smart TV is connected with.
Step 2: Open the control centre on your iPhone.
For iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
For iPhone X and later, swipe down from the upper right of the screen.
Step 3: Tap on the Screen Mirroring icon.
Step 4: Select your device—Mac, Apple TV or smart TV—as shown on the list.
Step 5: Enter the passcode if it appears on your iPhone. Your iPhone screen will now be mirrored on the big screen.
Step 6: Open the Control Center again and then tap on Screen Mirroring > Stop Mirroring to stop the screen mirroring from your iPhone. If you are using an Apple TV, pressing the menu button on the remote will also stop mirroring.

How to AirPlay a Video from your iPhone to a TV
Step 1: Make sure that your Apple TV or AirPlay 2 compatible smart TV is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.
Step 2: Play any video or audio you want to stream.
Step 3: Tap the AirPlay icon. In some apps, you would have to tap on Share first to access the AirPlay option.
Step 4: From the list that pops up, choose your TV.
Step 5: To stop streaming, simply tap the AirPlay icon in the app you are streaming from.
While screen mirroring is an easy and fast way to play content from your iPhone on a bigger screen, not everyone has an Apple TV. If you want to screen mirror your iPhone to a standard non-smart TV, there are several ways of doing that.
Mirror iPhone using Apple’s Digital AV Adapter
Apple’s Digital AV Adapter is lightning to HDMI and Type C converter that allows you to connect your iPhone to any TV with an HDMI port. You just need an HDMI cable to connect both the devices and you can then easily see content on your iPhone in 1080p picture quality and sound on a much bigger screen.
The only drawback of this method is that you’d need to keep your phone connected with the adapter at all times.
Mirror iPhone Using Google Chromecast
Chromecast is a streaming device that can turn any TV into a smart TV capable of connecting to any phone or tablet. It is a small dongle like device that connects to your HDMI port and lets you do screen mirroring of iPhone to any TV granted you are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network as well. Apart from the device, you’ll also need to download the Chromecast app on your iPhone.
Mirror iPhone Using Third-party Apps
There are several third-party apps such as LetsView and AirBeamTV that you can use for screen mirroring your iPhone to a smart TV. While these apps won’t need you to buy any additional hardware, you might need to pay to use the apps. All you have to do is connect your iPhone and smart TV to the same Wi-Fi network, download and open the apps on both devices, follow the on-screen instructions and you’re done.
There are a lot of perks of doing screen mirroring in iPhone. With the help of this guide, you can screen mirror your iPhone to PC or screen mirror iPhone to a Smart TV without any difficulty.
While iPhones are built with extreme precision and care, they are not immune to common issues. One of those issues is the iPhone not charging one. If you are facing this issue and thinking why my iPhone won’t charge, then there is no need to panic. There are several hacks you can try at your end to either get to the root of the issue or even solve it by yourself.
Even for a seemingly straightforward task like charging, there are several components involved that need to work properly. In this guide, we’ll take a look at everything that can cause the iPhone charging problem and eliminate possible reasons one at a time.
What Could be the Reasons Behind the iPhone not Charging Issue?
Wondering why my iPhone is not charging? Well, there could be multiple culprits behind this annoying issue. For instance, the problem could be due to an uncertified charger or a rugged case that might not be supporting Qi-wireless charging or even a scrap of lint that may have sneaked into the charging port. There can be issues with the charging adapter, a faulty software might be preventing the phone from charging or there can be an underlying hardware issue. Thus, we are going to try out all the possible solutions that can help you resolve the iPhone not charging issue.
Remove the Gunk out of Your iPhone’s Charging Port
Well, the first thing you should do is check if the lightning port of your iPhone is blocked by gunk or small particles of lint. Believe it or not, debris tends to get stuck in the port and builds up over time to prevent iPhone from charging when plugged in. So, you should clean the port frequently to ensure it can remain clean.
To clean the port of your iPhone, you need to first shut it down. Then, use a normal toothpick to remove the lint gently. Be more careful while cleaning the port as the pins may get damaged and you will have to replace the charging port.
Check Your Lightning Cable and Power Adapter
While the market is flooded with chargers, not all of them are secure and certified to power iPhones. If you are using a charger which is not Mfi (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod) certified, you will frequently get a warning pop-up saying, “accessory may not be certified.” As part of security measures, iOS won’t let you charge the iOS device using the uncertified charger.
If your charger is MFi certified, ensure that both the lightning cable and power adapter aren’t damaged. Try using another cable/power adapter to charge your iPhone. If you can charge using another charger, that means your charger is at fault. While the original Apple charger can be too costly, there are several high-quality cables available online that are less expensive. You just need to make sure they are MFi certified and have the recommended 2.1 amps power capacity.
If you use a wireless charger to power up your iPhone 8 or above, ensure that the case is compatible with wireless charging. Yeah, you got that right! Not all iPhone cases support Qi-wireless charging, especially the covers that are rugged or the ones that feature metal back plates.
So, just in case you have installed a heavy-duty case or a ring holder cover, remove it before putting the iPhone on the wireless charger.
If you use Qi-enabled wireless chargers, we would recommend you use slim cases that support wireless charging. This way, you won’t have to take the pain of removing the case before putting the iPhone on the charger.
If iPhone Stopped Charging at 80 Percent
If your iPhone won’t charge beyond 80 percent, then you might have nothing to worry about. To extend the lifespan of their device batteries, Apple has started using the Optimized Battery Charging feature. It is available in every Apple device, iOS 13 and higher models.
The feature uses machine learning and temperature sensors to detect when you use your phone the most and if the phone is getting too hot while charging. It will stop charging the phone when it hits the 80 percent mark. If your phone isn’t charging beyond this point, wait for a couple of hours and charge the device again to check if there is an issue with the charging or if it was just the Optimized Battery Charging feature that kicked in to prevent the device from charging further.
Liquid Damage
While dirt and debris stuck in the charging port can prevent the phone from charging, liquid damage can also pose a big problem. If you dropped your phone in water and have kept it aside for drying, make sure it is completely dry before plugging in the charger. Even a little bit of water can cause the connections to short and lead to even more problems.
Keep your phone aside and let it dry out completely. No matter how important the data inside your phone is or how eager you are to use the phone again, you wouldn’t want to destroy it, right?
Hard Reset/Force Restart Your iPhone
Force restart aka hard reset often turns out to be a saviour, especially when dealing with common problems. So, we are going to try it out as well.
Hard reset iPhone with face ID, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus

Hard reset iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE (1st generation) or earlier devices

Software Update
More often than not, a mere software update can help you fix several issues on your iPhone and even bolster the performance. If you haven’t updated the iOS for a while, the outdated software version might be the reason why your iPhone won’t charge. So, navigate straight into the Settings > General > Software Update. Then, download and install the latest iteration of iOS without any further ado.
Restore Your iPhone
You should look at the “Restore” option as the last resort. You should try it out only when none of the basic tricks are working. Before going for this radical solution, you must always take a full backup of your iPhone as the restore process will wipe out all the existing data.

It’s worth noting that Apple has shut down iTunes for Mac with the introduction of macOS Catalina and replaced it with Finder. So, if you’re using macOS Catalina or later, you need to use Finder to restore your device. On Mac running macOS Mojave or earlier and Windows PC, you can still use iTunes to restore your device.
Simply open Finder/iTunes > select your device. Then, click on Restore iPhone.
Repair your iPhone
What do you do if you checked the cables, checked the adapter, updated your iPhone, cleaned the lightning port, even performed a complete restore, but still the iPhone is not charging? The issue now needs professional intervention and it is time for you to contact a trusted iPhone repair centre like Rapid Repair and let us tackle the problem.

So, maybe due to a nasty impact or an unknown issue, your iPhone seems to have run into a serious problem. And you can’t figure out what’s ailing your smartphone. We understand it can be super frustrating since you love your prized device and can’t bear to see it in anything but the perfect shape. Worry not, as there is a pretty straightforward way to check hardware issues on iPhone using panic.ips file. Let us guide you through it!
Wondering What is Panic.ips and How Can It Let You Diagnose Your iPhone?
iOS comes with a built-in diagnostic feature that allows users to find hardware issues on the iPhone. For those unfamiliar with it, the diagnostic feature, which has derived the name from Kernel, is a crucial component of any OS.
When the Kernel encounters an issue or an error while loading, the problem is termed as Kernel Panic, indicating that something critical has happened to Kernel and even stopped it from loading properly. When it happens, Kernel puts the entire diagnostic information in a file named panic.ips.
With the help of panic.ips file, it becomes a lot easier to get to the root of the problem. And once you have checked the hardware issues on your iPhone with panic.ips file, finding the right solution to the issue becomes relatively straightforward. That’s probably the reason why this hack never fails to impress both DIY lovers and the die-hard supertechies at Rapid Repair.
Figure Out If Your iPhone has Hardware Issues
iOS comes with a very helpful feature called “Analytics & Improvements” which lets you check if your iPhone has hardware issues. Moreover, it’s available even on old iOS versions like iOS 10, 11, or 12. So, irrespective of whether you are using an old iPhone or daily driving the iPhone 12 Series, you can use this diagnostic tool to figure out if your iOS device is facing a hardware problem.
To get started, head over to the Settings app on your iPhone > Privacy > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data.
Note: In iOS 10 or 10.2, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics & Usage.
On the next screen, you should see a lot of logs related to analytics. Now, scroll through the entire list to find an entry named panic-xxx.ips. The file can be either panic-base or panic-full.
If you see any panic file, that means something very serious has happened to your iOS device, which prevented it from starting properly. Though it’s mostly an indication of a hardware failure which requires expert diagnosis and a repair to fix the issue, in some cases, it could be due to software crash as well.
Though the “Analytics and Improvements” data doesn’t take much space, it’s considered better to remove them from time to time just to keep the device clutter-free.
Luckily, it’s quite straightforward to wipe out the diagnostics information. To get it done, open the Settings app on your iPhone General >Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Next up, you will need to enter your passcode to continue. Finally, tap on “Reset Settings” in the popup to confirm.
It’s worth mentioning that the process of resetting location and privacy is slightly different in iOS 15 and later. Head to the Settings app -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset. Now, choose Reset Location & Privacy in the popup that shows up from the bottom.
If the problem occurs less frequently or seems to be minor, the first thing you should do is restore your iPhone as new. You can get it done right from your iPhone. But be warned that it will wipe out all the existing data. So, don’t forget to back up the device beforehand via iCloud (Settings app -> profile -> iCloud -> iCloud Backup -> Back Up Now) or iTunes/Finder.
After you have taken the backup, head over to Settings app > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings (works in iOS 14 or earlier).
Do note that the process of erasing the iPhone has slightly changed in iOS 15 or later. You need to navigate to the Settings app -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Erase All Content and Settings. Then, you will need to enter your device passcode to confirm that you want to wipe out your entire iOS device.
Once you have successfully erased your device, set it up as new. During the setup process, you will get the option to restore the device from a recent backup.
Besides, you can also use the Finder or iTunes to restore your device. But before going for the restore, do not fail to back up your entire device as it will wipe out all the existing data.
Side Note:
In macOS Catalina or later, you will need to use Finder to restore the device. In macOS Mojave or earlier or Windows PC, you will need to use iTunes to restore the device.
After you have successfully restored your iPhone, check if the problem is gone. If it has, you are ready to go.
