iPhone XS Camera Repair

iPhone users love the professional-quality photos they can easily capture with the impressive dual 12 MP cameras on the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. But when a cracked lens or malfunctioning camera prevents us from snapping photos, it can be infuriating! Fortunately, fixing a broken iPhone XS camera is simple at CPR. Use the following iPhone XS camera troubleshooting tips below, or hurry into a CPR store near you.

Why Is My iPhone XS Camera Not Working?

While some iPhone XS camera issues– like a cracked lens– are evident, others are far more complex and are due to software glitches. If your iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max camera is broken or malfunctioning, use the following guide to pinpoint the problem and fix it on your own. Alternatively, visit a CPR Cell Phone Repair near you for same-day iPhone repair service.

Troubleshooting the iPhone XS Max or iPhone XS Camera

Before you opt for an iPhone XS camera replacement, try using these basic tips to fix your malfunctioning camera.

Remove Case and Accessories

Whether your rear camera or front camera is malfunctioning, the first step to troubleshooting is removing all accessories, including phone cases, protective films, and attachments. Frequently, users don’t realize that their phones’ accessories are blocking the camera or flash. Once the accessories are removed, open the camera app again and try taking a photo.

Inspect Your Screen

If your front camera is acting up or out of focus, take a closer look at your display or screen protector. If there is a scratch or crack over the front camera, that is likely the culprit behind your camera malfunction. Fortunately, fixing the device is as simple as dropping it off at CPR Cell Phone Repair for an iPhone screen repair.

Clean Lens

If your photos have spots or are turning out blurry and out of focus, try cleaning your iPhone XS camera lens. To do so, wipe the camera lens with a microfiber cloth to remove smudges, fingerprints, and dirt.

Restart Your iPhone

If your iPhone XS camera lens appears to be closed or your camera app is simply showing a black screen, try restarting the iPhone. To restart an iPhone XS, hold the down volume button and side button until a slider appears. Drag the slider to power off the device and wait about 30 seconds. To turn the device back on, hold down the side button again until you see the device power on. Once powered on, revisit the camera app.

Update Your Software

Ensure that you’re using the most up-to-date version of iOS software. Often, Apple releases updates that fix minor bugs in the camera software.

iPhone XS Battery Replacement

The iPhone XS is jam-packed with countless features that will keep you tied to your device all day long; however, constant use of your iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max eats away at your device’s battery. If your beloved iPhone no longer makes it through the device without a mid-day charge, continue reading for iPhone XS battery troubleshooting and replacement tips.

iPhone XS Battery Problems

Over time, a smartphone’s battery doesn’t hold its charge like it once did. This inevitable truth often leads users to opt for an iPhone XS battery replacement. Before you visit a repair shop or Apple, try using the following troubleshooting tips to extend the life of your battery.

Troubleshooting iPhone XS Battery Issues

Extend your iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max battery’s life by using the following troubleshooting tips.

  • Turn Down Brightness

One of the most common tricks to limit iPhone XS battery usage is turning down the display’s brightness. To do this, simply swipe downwards from the top right-hand corner of your home screen. When the Control Center appears, drag the brightness bar (the sun icon) downwards to minimize the brightness.

  • Review Battery-Draining Activity

After you’ve adjusted your screen brightness, do a quick review of your apps. To see which apps are using the most battery, go to Settings > Battery. Note that some of these apps may even be running in the background which drains battery without you even realizing it.

  • Disable Location Tracking

If you have apps that are using your location, they are likely using a significant amount of your battery. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services to manage which apps are able to access your location and when they can access your location.

  • Enable Low Power Mode

You might notice that when you have low battery life, you iPhone XS will suggest that you enable Low Power Mode. Give this battery saving mode a try! Low Power Mode minimizes the amount of battery used by limiting non-essential features like animated wallpapers, background activities, screen brightness, and fetching new emails.
