While most of the world is paying attention to the latest iPhone 12 launches, people using the old iPhones might feel neglected. People who are using the iPhone 11 might feel left out, and their problems can go unheard. iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max users reported that they have been experiencing some issues on their device, and the issues are majorly related to the iOS 13. But after the release of iOS 14, most of these issues were resolved automatically.
Since Apple has released new hardware and software, it becomes challenging to point out the origin of the problem. However, Apple did its best to offer better fixes on iOS 13 but if you continue to experience any issue, use the following guide to eliminate them from your device. The following guide includes common fixes for all the version of handsets under the iPhone 11:
Display
iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max users are experiencing an issue on their device’s display. If your device screen washes out, shows a green tint on the screen, and flashes back to normal in a few seconds, the OLED display is responsible for this problem. The best solution is to update to iOS 14. If it doesn’t resolve the issue, then the problem could be in your device’s hardware. You can try taking a screenshot and check if the green tint appears on it. If not, then get the components of your iPhone to check at the nearby store. Fortunately, Apple acknowledges its customers’ concerns, and thus, the company has allowed providing display replacements but with specific terms and conditions.
Audio and Video Issues
If you are unsatisfied with the audio quality or observe the audio functions deteriorating day by day, then the following are some of the solutions you can try:
- Remove and replace your SIM card to resolve the issue.
- Check the audio quality with and without Bluetooth connectivity. If the quality improves with Bluetooth, then turn it off during phone calls.
- You can also try clearing your phone’s cache memory by doing a hard Factory Reset from your device’s Settings app. From Settings, go to General and click on Restart.
System Activation
The system activation issue is rare, and it only appears when users try to set up and start their new iPhone. You can easily fix this issue, but you have to visit Apple’s System Status page to ensure that all the systems are working well. If you don’t find anything toggled as green, then wait for all the systems to run and try the process again. If the toggle is green, cannot be operated, then check if you have inserted the SIM card. At this point, you can try switching the SIM card. If you find No SIM or Invalid SIM error flashing on your screen, then use the following methods:
- Update your iPhone to the latest iOS version and restart the device.
- Open the Settings app and click on General. Go to About and install the update, if available.
- Re-insert your SIM card and close the tray securely.
Wireless Charging
Many users found trouble with the Qi wireless charger and reported that they heat up every time they place their iPhone 11 on the wireless charger. Their phone recognizes the charger but fails to accept a charge from it and suddenly starts heating up. Using the older iOS 13 can cause you to experience this issue. So, if you want to eliminate this problem, update your device’s OS to the latest iOS 14. You can also try to restart your device. If the problem persists, try the following steps:
- Press and release volume up.
- Press and release the volume down.
- Hold the power button and wait until the Apple logo appears.
Overheating
Many users reported that their iPhone 11 handset heats up quickly. Overheating can affect the battery health and life of the device and damage other components as well. The handset gets too hot to hold and if you are experiencing a similar issue, then try the following methods:
- Take off the back cover or case from the device as a poor-quality case can lead to this issue.
- Do not expose your device to hot weather for long. Please don’t leave it in the car either.
- Check if the AR games on your device are the culprit.
- You can put your device in Airplane Mode for a while. It will automatically turn off the Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular signals.
- You can also try to Hard Reset by holding the volume up button, then the volume down button, and the power button in the end.
If this guide doesn’t help you fix the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone 11, visit the nearest Apple Store.
