iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty. Next, grab a flashlight and have a look at what you’re dealing with. It’s a good idea to do this after each step as well so you can see your progress.

With iPhone 15 models, if you’re in the European Union or in a country or region that’s part of the European Free Trade Association, the first time that you use a wireless charger, you’ll get a notification. Mandated by the EU, the notification says that wireless charging may use more power than wired charging. This is a Qi-based pad that supports up to 7.5W power output, which is actually greater than the 5W of the standard charger that comes with the iPhone 7. Remember, the software of your iPhone 7 Plus starts the charging process when it detects that it is connected to a power source. Your iPhone 7 Plus may just look like it's not charging because the software may have crashed while the screen was off. The charging process can't begin if your software isn't working correctly.

If for whatever reason you still can't dislodge the dirt and debris, or you've cleared out the port and are still having problems with your charging and data, then I'm afraid it's time to head on down to your local Apple store or authorized repair center, where more specialized tools can be found. iPhone 6s or earlier, iPhone SE (1st generation) and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: press and hold both the side (or top) button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears.

If a new, good brand replacement still gives you a problem, change the charging port (easy & not expensive if you do it yourself). Apple doesn’t recommend using compressed air to clean iPhones. However this is a well-known, successful method, so we’ve given directions for those who choose to use it. Using a can of compressed air, such as Falcon Dust, hold it upright and give the port a few short blasts to clear away any immediate dust. Try plugging in your iPhone afterwards to see if this has fixed the problem. If not, move onto the next step. There are cheaper options too. We’ve tried out the Anker PowerTouch 5W charge pad, and while it’s not a fast charger it will do the job as well as any when paired with a 5W receiver or iPhone 7 case.There are several points to consider when working out which power adapter you need for your iPhone. Firstly, the most important rule is to make sure that you buy one with the correct USB port for your iPhone cable, as we briefly mentioned earlier. The USB-Cconnector on your iPhone can also connect to a variety of devices that are compliant with the USB-C standard, such as: FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply. Additional points to consider include the wattage of the power adapter you buy. The higher the number, the faster your device will charge, but note that the adapter will also be larger. Apple AirPower uses a custom version of Qi (pronounced “chee”), as do most of the popular wireless charge pads. However, one of the longest-standing players in wireless charging, Powermat, uses PMA.

Accessibility features help people with disabilities get the most out of their new iPhone 7. With built-in support for vision, hearing, physical and motor skills, and learning and literacy, you can fully enjoy the world’s most personal device. Learn more aboutAccessibility To use your current Lightning accessories, you can use the USB-Cto Lightning adapter, which supports power, data, and audio.Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 10GB to 12GB of space (including iOS and preinstalled apps) depending on the model and settings. Preinstalled apps use about 4GB, and you can delete these apps and restore them. You might need an adapter to connect some devices to your iPhone. Here are some common connections: A 5W power adapter is smaller than the 20W equivalent, while a 30W power adapter is bigger and faster than both of those previously mentioned. It doesn't really matter which wattage you go for since they all work, just at different speeds. If the device that you're connecting to has a USB-Cconnector, use a USB-Ccable that has a USB-Cconnectoron each end, like the cable that came withyouriPhone 15. 1
