iPhone 11 Problems: 5 Things You Need to Know is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.
We continue to see complaints about iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max problems as we push deeper into the year.
We continue to get a lot of feedback from the owners of Apple’s former flagship iPhone models. A lot of the feedback is good. These are powerful devices with outstanding cameras and the iPhone 11 series is certainly worth a look if you’re in the market for a new smartphone.
They’re solid phones, but they aren’t perfect. We’re also seeing frustrated users complain about a variety of hardware and software problems.
We haven’t heard about any new widespread “gate” issues, but we have seen complaints about various bugs, performance issues, and issues with the design.
With all of that in mind, we want to take you through the most important things to know, right now, about iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max issues.
This guide we’ll take you through the current state of these issues, potential fixes for problems, places to find feedback about problems, and what’s next for the devices.
iPhone 11 Problems
If you’re having issues activating your new iPhone 11, check Apple’s System Status page. If it’s not showing green, you’ll want to wait until it’s green and then try activating the phone again.
If it’s green and it’s still not working, make sure you have a SIM card inserted in your iPhone. If you’re receiving a “No Sim” or “Invalid SIM” error, you’ll want to head to this guide for assistance.
Some iPhone 11 users are complaining about iCloud Restore issues. This is another common problem with new iPhones. If you run into issues restoring from iCloud, head here for some potential fixes.
We’re also hearing about Face ID problems, issues with first and third-party applications, RAM management problems, Exchange problems, iCloud issues, visual voicemail problems, Bluetooth issues, Wi-Fi issues, sound problems, and abnormal battery drain.
A number of iPhone 11 users are also complaining about scratched displays and you can read more about those complaints in our report.
We expect the list of iPhone 11 problems to grow as more people adopt these devices in 2021 and beyond.
Where to Find Feedback
If you’re thinking about buying an iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone Pro Max, or if you already own one, you’ll want to monitor feedback from owners of these phones. This feedback will alert you to potential issues with the hardware and software.
We recommend keeping an eye on YouTube, Apple’s discussion forums, social media sites like Twitter, and the MacRumors forums for ongoing feedback about these devices.
We’ve also released our list of reasons to, and not to, install iOS 14.7.1 on an iPhone and it’s worth a look if you’re on the fence about a move from up from your current version of iOS.
How to Fix iPhone 11 Problems
If you run into a problem on your new iPhone, there’s no need to panic. There’s a good chance you’ll be able to avoid taking it into an Apple Store or your local carrier store for help.
First, take a look at our list of fixes for the most common iOS 14 problems. It will take you through fixes for common issues like broken Bluetooth and busted Wi-Fi.
We’ve also released some tips to help you improve performance and a guide that could help you improve battery life if you’re noticing abnormal drain.
- Stunning 13.3-inch Retina display with True Tone technology
- Backlit Magic Keyboard and Touch ID
- Tenth-generation Intel Core i3 processor
- Intel Iris Plus Graphics
- Fast SSD storage
If you can’t find a fix for your issue in our guides, you’ll want to check Apple’s discussion forums for potential fixes for your problem(s).
If you can’t find anything there, it’s time to get in touch with Apple and you can do so via the company’s support account on Twitter. You can also get in contact with Apple Support via the company’s website.
If you’d rather explain your issue in person, you should take your new phone into your local Apple Store and see if they can diagnose your problem. If you’ve got an Apple Store in your area, and it’s open, you’ll want to schedule a Genius Bar appointment.
Your iPhone is currently under warranty so they might offer you a replacement if the problem is serious enough.
How to Downgrade the iPhone 11
If you’re having issues on your iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max, note that there’s no longer a way to downgrade back to older software.
Apple stopped signing on iOS 14.7 which means iPhone 11 users dealing with performance issues and bugs on iOS 14.7.1 can’t move their device back to the previous version of iOS 14 in an effort to improve performance.
Unfortunately, the company has also stopped signing on iOS 14.6 and older versions of iOS so there’s no way back to those versions of Apple’s firmware either.
If you’re unfamiliar with the downgrade process our guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
What’s Next
If your iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max is struggling, help is on the way.
It looks like the company is planning a new iOS 14.8 update for iPhone though it’s unclear when the software will roll out.
Apple’s confirmed its new iOS 15 operating system and the software is currently in beta ahead of its release this fall. It should roll out in September.
If your phone is really struggling on iOS 14, you might try downloading the iOS 15 beta onto your iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max. There’s a chance the software has a positive impact on your phone’s performance.
