Both iPhone and iPad are currently one of the best smart devices in the world, not only because of their simple and stylish design, advanced configuration, high-quality performance, but also the stable iOS system they run. However, stability does not mean that there will be no issues. We spend most of our time on our iPhone or iPad, if you find that your iPhone or iPad that won't turn on or won't charge or it is frozen, please don't worry, just follow our ideas to find out the cause and solve the problem.
As the matter of fact, your iPhone or iPad won't turn on/charge or it's frozen, because either the software crashed and needs to be reset or restored, or a hardware problem is preventing your device from turning on or charging.
Battery failure
Whenever Apple launches a new generation of iPhones or iPads, they either have greatly improved performance to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, or they have increased battery capacity to obtain longer battery life. However, with the passage of time or frequent use, the performance of the battery will also decrease, or in the process of use, your device is running too many power-consuming applications. If you find that your iPhone or iPad is turned off when you still have a lot of battery, or your device gets hot quickly, you may be experiencing some power issues.
Water damage
Although the iPhone and iPad introduced later have excellent waterproof design, some water damage is still unavoidable. Liquids can still damage some inside details of the device, a drop of water got in the charging port and your iPhone or iPad won't charge. So if you have had a similar experience, don’t ignore this possibility.
Physical damage
If you dropped your iPhone or iPad recently, it might stop working, even if it doesn't have any obvious signs of damage. If there is obvious damage to the screen or other important parts, you should go to the nearest reliable agency to test and repair your device as soon as possible.
Software issues
If your iPhone or iPad still has a battery, but it does not respond, it may still be turned on but stuck on a black screen. Therefore, it seems that you cannot open the device. This usually happens when the system files are damaged or destroyed by some malicious software, or some applications and iOS updates cause the system to crash. Malicious applications can also cause the same symptoms.
Charge Your Battery
Plug your iPhone or iPad in the charger and wait for up to one hour, if you want to charge your iPhone 8 or later wirelessly, please ensure that you can charge with the USB adapter and cable that came with your device firstly. If the charging icon appears on the screen of your device after a few minutes of charging, it means that your device is only battery exhausted. You only need to wait for the battery to be fully charged. If the charging icon does not appear on the screen after charging for a period of time, and there is no sign of heating on the surface of the device, please replace it with another available USB cable or power adapter to recharge.
Tips: Here, we always recommend that you use the original Apple USB cable and power adapter so that the desired power output is obtained. In addition, when your device is fully charged, find out the culprits that caused your battery to be quickly drained, and limit them as much as possible.
