iPhone 14 problems (and what you can do about them)

The iPhone 14 series, from the regular iPhone 14 to the 14 Pro & Pro Max, still look and perform great for a phone that is about 3 years old. Unfortunately, that does not mean that everything works flawlessly, our specialists see it every day! Even this series has its specific geekiness after 3 years. And if your iPhone suddenly stops charging, the screen stays black or the battery runs out mid-day, you’re not the only one.

At ThePhoneLab, we see iPhone 14 devices come in daily with recognizable complaints. In this blog, we list the most common problems for you, tell you what you can do yourself and when it’s time to come by in one of our stores.

iPhone 14 Pro gets hot

An iPhone 14 that crashes or overheats: it happens more often than you think. Especially with the iPhone 14 Pro, we see this problem recurring, often during heavy use or while charging. Sometimes the screen freezes completely and it looks like your iPhone 14 has died. Put it in a cool place, keep it out of the dashboard of your car and certainly don’t put it in the freezer or refrigerator! Want to know what you can do to prevent overheating in the hot summer months? Then read; Is your iPhone getting hot? Follow these steps.

iPhone 14 battery dies quickly

That your battery degrades after a few years, we know. But we notice at ThePhoneLab that iPhone 14 users sometimes suffer from battery problems after only a year. The battery drains faster, and some devices don’t even make it to the end of the day.

What can you do yourself?

• Check your battery condition via Settings -> Battery -> Battery Condition.
• Turn on power saving mode.
• Limit background activity and disable features you don’t need (such as live wallpapers or auto-refresh apps).

Camera problems with iPhone 14 series

The iPhone 14 Pro’s cameras are top-notch, until they aren’t. Complaints like blurry photos, vibration in the picture or a completely black screen in the camera app regularly come in to our specialists. In many cases, it’s due to dirt under the glass or a broken camera sensor. With the iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max models, where the lenses stick out far, a tap against the table can also cause a big crack!

Our Tip:
Does your camera keep acting weird after you take the steps in the following blog? Is your iPhone camera not working? Here’s what you can do . Then it’s time to visit our specialists. We replace camera lenses and camera units on a daily basis, without deteriorating your photos.

iPhone 14 will not turn on

Your iPhone 14 no longer responds to anything, no logo, no vibration, no screen, nothing at all. This often feels like an emergency, but it doesn’t have to be. In some cases, the battery has become so depleted (such as from prolonged storage or extreme cold) that the device needs to “wake up” first. Leave your iPhone on a reliable charger for at least 30 minutes, even if no charging icon appears. Preferably use an original USB-C charger if you have an iPhone 15 series.

Does it still do nothing after that? If so, it could be due to:

• A completely defective battery
• A damaged dock connector
• Internal damage (think motherboard)
• A previous software update that got stuck

In any case, what you should not do: keep pushing buttons hard, trying to charge dozens of times in a row, or fiddling with cables at random. Chances are you’ll make the problem worse. Rather have your iPhone professionally measured, at ThePhoneLab we can have a clear picture of what’s wrong within minutes, without having to open your device. No life? We will find out what the problem is.

iPhone 14 broken or black screen

Do you hear sounds or feel a vibration when you touch your iPhone, but your screen remains black? Then your device is probably on, but the screen is frozen or damaged.

Start by rebooting. No results? Then the screen itself may be broken, sometimes without you seeing any visible damage. Our technicians can immediately test if the display is still working. If not, we’ll replace the screen quickly and professionally. Make your appointment for that here! In no time, you’ll see what you’re doing again. No cure no pay.
