If you're an iPhone user, there's a pretty good chance that at some point in time during your ownership of your iPhone, you've run into one problem or another. Technology isn't perfect and no matter what manufacturer made your phone or what model it is, something is going to go wrong sooner or later.In the case of iPhones, there are a few problems that tend to creep up more often than others. Take a gander at our list of the five most common iPhone repairs in Scottsdale for this calendar year:Cracked screens: You guessed it, cracked screens are the number one most commonly repaired iPhone item! Sometimes it's just a small crack or hairline fracture in the screen that occurs when it's dropped from a foot or two off of the ground-other times, it's a full blown crack or a spidered screen, which renders your smartphone virtually unusable. The good news is that most screen cracks can be fixed with a screen replacement, making this iPhone repair a simple enough one to execute.Damaged power button: For iPhones up to the newly introduced iPhone 6, the power button is conveniently located at the top of the device, allowing you to easily click it on or off with a finger touch. Unfortunately, in the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C models, power buttons mysteriously began to stick and malfunction, rendering them useless when pressed! Thankfully, this is also another simple repair, with a new power button easily affixed to the device.Sound issues: For those iPhone users who love to use their smartphone as a music player as well, it can be disheartening to realize that there's an issue with your speakers and for many in 2014, this has been a big problem. There are a couple of variables that can affect your iPhone's sound, making this one of the harder repairs to nail down, but given the right approach in troubleshooting, it's not a death sentence for your phone.Shorted battery: Many people think that if their phone gets wet and they quickly place it in a bag of rice, that everything is going to be okay. A few people get off lucky with this water mitigation method, however others aren't so fortuitous, with their phones sustaining long-term water damage that goes unseen. Often times, the main component that's affected when water damage strikes is the battery, which can leave it in all sorts of disarray! Battery replacements were one of the biggest iPhone repairs in Scottsdale in 2014, which just goes to show you how important it is to keep your phone away from water!Dead charging ports: What good is a phone that you can't charge? Many iPhone users found out the hard way that if you can't charge your phone, you're going to be left with a very expensive brick. Broken charging ports won't connect to charging cables properly, leaving you with no way to transfer energy to your phone's battery. This malfunction is often the result of physical damage such as a drop and can be remedied by the right professional.Did you encounter any of these common problems in the past year?
