3 Most Common Problems in iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

With bigger touch screen and better and sleeker design, Apple has released its newest versions of iPhone, 6 and 6 Plus. Find out some of the most common problems reported by the buyers and the possible fixes and workarounds for them.

With the latest release of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Apple has brought new features and fixes to iOS8. Packed with features, a sleek design and an excellent performance, the new phones give users a lot of reasons to love them. However, as nothing can be perfect, these phones are also not free from glitches. Right from delayed response time when using the keyboard to freezing issues during updates, there is plenty going on in the new phones that buyers may find annoying. Here are some of the most common issues faced by iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users and the best ways to troubleshoot them:

Red screen: In many cases iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users have complained about a screen that goes red and is followed by the Apple logo. When this happens, either the screen gets back to normal in a few minutes on its own or the red screen may stay for longer and refuse to turn off. A quick fix to this problem is- hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for around 10 seconds. The Apple logo will appear and your phone will restart normally.

Enlarged icons: A common problem reported by iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users is that of enlarged images and icons that fill the entire screen and make it difficult to navigate properly. The main cause behind this glitch can be the accessibility feature Zoom. However, you can get this fixed easily. Double tap the screen with your three fingers and the icons will get back to the normal size. If you do not want this to happen again, then turn off zoom from the Accessibility option in Settings menu.

Unclear voice calls: One of the most annoying problems with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus can be the inability to hear the other caller during a phone call. You can make and receive calls normally but fail to hear the other person’s voice even if the phone volume is at its maximum. In this case, the first thing you need to do is ensure that the speaker grill is not covered and if it is then get rid of all blockages. Else check the Settings menu and turn off the Bluetooth. You can also turn off the Phone Noise Cancelation option in the Settings menu. If nothing works, press the sleep/wake and home button together for 10 seconds to restart your phone.
