Common iPhone 11 breakages: an overview of the smartphone's weaknesses
- 14.12.2022
iPhone 11 is considered the most reliable model among all the iPhones: high-quality iron, high class of protection against dust and moisture, precision assembly without cracks and gaps. However, even with this configuration, the smartphone can not be «unbreakable». Let's take a look at what can be faults in the iPhone 11, and how often they occur.
Damage to the smartphone
Malfunctions from falls and bumps:
- Damage to the screen and case. These are the most common problems with the iPhone 11. Large smartphones have a large OLED matrix, the display is stretched almost the entire perimeter of the front panel, which makes it difficult to repair. Either way, replacing the matrix is expensive.
- From damage, the iPhone 11 has breakages that are not visible from the outside. The circuit board can break, and the device stops playing sound.
- Cracks in the motherboard are the most difficult breakage.
- When the camera breaks, it is very expensive to replace it.
Breakdowns related to the power grid
The iPhone 11 can have mechanical or operational failures of the power supply and power:
- The charging port in the smartphone breaks. This comes from sloppy handling, plugging in the plug in a hurry or in the dark. To ensure that the charging port remains intact longer, connect the plug gently, in good light.
- Malfunction of the power controller of the smartphone due to charging from cheap Chinese chargers. Only original chargers should be used.
- The battery quickly runs out or blows up. The iPhone in general often has a small battery capacity, which makes it necessary to charge it more often. After two or three years, the battery's ability to hold power drops significantly. Often you have to plug your smartphone into an outlet more than once a day. If the battery is blown, it is dangerous to use, you need to replace it with a new one.
Moisture inside
If the smartphone falls into water, it can damage various parts at the same time: the circuit board, microphone, speaker. iPhone 11 is protected from liquid inside by IP68 class. It can stay in water for about 2 hours and there will be no damage. However, it is better to keep iPhone 11 from water, especially if it has been dropped at least once. The fall can reduce moisture protection and water will get inside.
Other problems
During transportation, the smartphone can experience strong vibration or shocks. Not always the packaging can protect against damage. There are also sometimes factory defects or software failures. This can cause the smartphone to malfunction in these ways:
- Wireless charging does not work. This often happens after an operating system update.
- Failures in the Bluetooth module. Because of this, wireless headphones may not work.
- The smartphone does not see the network due to a broken antenna.
- iPhone 11 does not turn on - a faulty button or «burned» some parts.
Faults in the iPhone 11 are fixable in most cases. You can replace both external and internal parts. The only question is the price. To keep costs to a minimum, you need to contact the service center at the first signs of failure: the device does not turn on the first time, hangs up, heats strongly, the battery discharges quickly. You should not wait until the battery swells up or the device will not turn on at all. You should replace it if it malfunctions.
