iPhone Black Screen of Death: How to Fix It (iPhone XR and Newer)

Updated October 2026 by the Go Mobile repair team

Quick answer

First charge the iPhone for 30 minutes, then force restart it. If it rings, vibrates or answers Siri while the screen stays black, the display has likely failed and needs replacing. If it does nothing at all, connect it to a computer and use Update in recovery mode, which reinstalls iOS without erasing your data. If none of that works, it is usually a hardware problem.

Is My iPhone Waterproof? Water Resistance by Model (iPhone X to Today)

Updated October 2026 by the Go Mobile repair team

Quick answer

No iPhone is waterproof. Since the iPhone 7, iPhones are water resistant: the iPhone X is rated IP67 (1 meter for up to 30 minutes), and recent models are rated IP68 at up to 6 meters. Water resistance wears down over time. Apple’s standard warranty does not cover liquid damage, while AppleCare+ covers accidental damage, including liquid, for a service fee.

Updated October 2026 by the Go Mobile repair team

Quick answer

A phone battery usually needs replacing when it drains fast, shuts off at 20 or 30 percent, makes the phone slow, gets hot or only works plugged in. On iPhone, check Settings > Battery > Battery Health. On Samsung, use the battery diagnostic in the Samsung Members app. A swollen battery is a safety issue: stop charging the phone and get it checked right away.
