6 Common iPhone 12 Issues and How To Fix Them

The iPhone 12 was the best phone that Apple made in 2020. There are four different models of the iPhone 12: the iPhone 12 Pro, the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the iPhone 12 mini, and the iPhone 12. The series is another strong product from the tech giant. It has better cameras, OLED screens, and a lot of other features.

But since it came out, glitches, flaws, and other problems have been reported with the iPhone 12 series. Luckily, a lot of these problems can be fixed in easy ways. Find out how to fix 6 of the most common iPhone 12 problems in this article.

Problems with battery life

One of the most common problems with phones is that the battery dies quickly. In terms of hardware, the iPhone 12 series is already behind because its batteries have 10% less power than those of the iPhone 11s. Apple said that the battery life would stay the same even though the chip would use less power, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

In terms of software, it seems that some versions of iOS 14 are bad for battery life. This can also happen to older versions of iOS 14 on iPhones that aren't as new. The problem might be fixed in later versions, so try updating your phone to the latest OS to see if the battery life gets better.

There are times when certain apps use up a lot of battery. You can see if any of your apps are using a lot of power by going to Settings, tapping Battery, and scrolling down to see your Battery Usage. You'll be able to see how much battery each app uses and get rid of the ones that are causing problems.

Last but not least, if you're not sure why your phone's battery is draining quickly, you can always try restarting it. It's amazing how many tech problems can be fixed by the old "turn it off and on again" trick.

Problems with overheating

A lot of the same things that drain your phone's battery can also cause it to get too hot. The same iOS updates that hurt battery life can also cause your phone to get too hot, so update your phone and see if the problem still happens. If your phone gets hot, it might be because of an app that uses a lot of battery. Check Your Battery Usage to see if there are any apps that might be to blame.

If your phone still gets hot easily, you can try taking off your case, lowering the brightness of your screen, restarting your device, or putting it in airplane mode.

Problems with charging

Apple mobile doesn't include a power adapter with a new iPhone 12 anymore. If a customer wants a new charger for their device, they have to buy one on their own. EarPods are also no longer included with the iPhone 12 series. Apple says it made the decision to reduce its carbon footprint. It says that most customers already have power adapters and headphones at home and that more and more people are choosing wireless options.

But there are problems with wireless charging for the iPhone 12. Apple's MagSafe wireless chargers for iPhone 12 and up are said to be able to provide twice as much power as regular Qi chargers, but reports say that their power output drops by a lot after the first 10 minutes. Also, the magnets used to attach the MagSafe charger to the iPhone can cause pacemakers and defibrillators that are already in the body to stop working, making them dangerous for some people.

Unfortunately, iPhone 12 models don't work well with third-party wireless chargers or older Apple chargers. This means that MagSafe is still the best way to charge an iPhone 12, even though it has some problems.

If your phone isn't charging right, the first thing you should do is make sure you're using the right MagSafe charger. Then, you could try taking off your phone case to see if that helps. If not, you can reset your iPhone by pressing and letting go of the volume up button, then pressing and letting go of the volume down button, and then pressing and holding the power button until your phone turns off.

Green-colored screen

When the iPhone 12 first came out, there were reports that the screen was green and that it flickered. Apple knew that the iPhone 12 series was having problems with its screen and fixed them with the iOS 14 update.

So, if your screen has a green tint or something else isn't working right, the first thing you should do is update your OS. This will probably fix the problem. If that doesn't work, you can try changing the brightness of your screen, which has been shown to help in some cases. If neither of these work, the problem is probably with the hardware and will need to be fixed by a professional.

It's easy to scratch the screen.

Both the screen and the back of the iPhone 12 series seem to be made of glass that is easy to break. The glass on many iPhones has been scratched for no apparent reason, according to users. Ceramic Shield is a type of glass used to make the iPhone 12. Apple says that this type of glass is four times more durable than the glass used in previous iPhone models. But the glass has been made softer to make it less likely to break, which can make it more likely to get scratched.

Buying a good-quality screen protector is the best way to keep your screen from getting scratched in the first place. If that doesn't work, the only thing left to do is replace the glass, which can be very expensive.

5G not working

The iPhone 12 is the first smartphone from Apple that can connect to a 5G network. It's important to know that while 5G data speeds are much faster, it can also drain your battery much faster.

Even though the iPhone 12 is 5G-ready, that doesn't mean you can use it right away. First, you need to make sure that your phone plan includes 5G. You should also find out if your area has access to 5G service. Last but not least, you'll need a SIM card that works with 5G. If you use the SIM card that came with your iPhone 12, there shouldn't be a problem, but if you want to use an old SIM card, you may need to get it upgraded to support 5G.
