Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my iPhone stuck on the red battery screen?

It usually means your battery is fully drained. However, if it doesn't turn on after charging for 30 minutes, there may be a deeper issue.

How long does it take to charge a dead iPhone?

A completely drained iPhone should show signs of life within 15–30 minutes of charging with a working cable and adapter.

Will Apple replace my iPhone if it won't charge?

If your device is under warranty or AppleCare+, and it's not due to accidental damage, Apple may repair or replace it.

How do I know if it's a software or hardware problem?

If your iPhone is recognized in Finder/iTunes and responds to Recovery Mode or DFU Mode, it's likely a software issue. If not, it may be a hardware failure.
