| How to keep your iPhone in one piece Posted: 29 Oct 2013 04:01 PM PDT Smartphones keep getting increasingly useful, advanced, and also expensive. On the top of the smartphone pyramid you have iPhones, which are crowned king of all smartphones. If you are the lucky owner of an iPhone, it's likely one of your most precious possessions, and you want to keep it in perfect working conditions for as long as you can make it last or until you upgrade to a new version. To make sure your dear doesn't suffer a premature death, here are the most common causes of broken or malfunctioning smartphones and how to prevent them. Overheating
iPhones are machines, and machines release heat. iPhones are not an exception, quite the contrary. While newer generations are a bit better at it, older models had an awful time with overheating. Having too many apps working at the same time, hot temperature, charging it or even using a GPS feature could overheat your iPhone to the point of shut down. The shutdown is a defense mechanism the phone uses to preserve the delicate components inside. To avoid overheating, always keep your iPhone away from direct sunlight and leaving it on top of heat-sensitive surfaces like vinyl or leather. Don't have it inside your pocket in summer, and take it out of the case when you are charging it. It's also a good idea to turn off the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if you are not using them. This will also make the battery last longer, which at the same time means less charging and by extension, overheating. Dropping
Everyone has a moment of clumsiness, and that's perfectly fine. What's not so fine is when that moment happens while holding your iPhone. Dropping it on a hard surface or inside some water or other liquid can be fatal. If it drops on the floor, the screen or case can break. If the hit is really hard, even the components inside can come loose or break, and you better give your iPhone a nice funeral and prepare money for a new one. If it's only the screen or external damage, then your broken iPhone still has hope. Those are easy to fix, to the point that you can buy DIY repair kits that will cost you a lot less than taking it to a repair service. If you drop it inside water or spill liquids over it though, say your prayers; because it's going to be a matter of chance if your iPhone can be saved. App Abuse
iPhones are machines that work very similarly to a computer. Like a computer, they can run out of space and start working slower, or give you a lot of errors. That's no reason to throw away your phone. From time to time, do an app clean-up to liberate space. Try to avoid downloading too many apps if you are not going to use them all too often, and keep track of the free space on your iPhone's disk. As a preventive measure, install as many apps as possible in an SD card instead of the iPhone. This is like having an extra hard drive in your computer, so it will help your iPhone run more smoothly and without glitches for a longer time.
