1. No SIM card after turning off airplane mode

Many users complain that after they turn on airplane mode, all connected services such as Wifi, 3G and the SIM will automatically disconnect. But not worth mentioning unless when this mode goes off, the device says “No Service”. While waiting for official instructions from Apple, you can do the following: First, switch to Airplane mode on and off again. You can do it in the Control Center or go to Settings> Airplane mode

If it doesn’t work, make sure you are in the service coverage area. Check in Settings> General Settings> About and look at the Supplier. Remember, if you’re travelling internationally, you will need to roam, customize it in Settings> Mobile> Data roaming. You may have to turn off your phone and reboot. Try removing the SIM out, make it clean and attached it back.

3. Unable to press the Home button to unlock

With the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, Apple has removed the physical Home button. Therefore, Force Touch technology on a new Home button will allow users to adjust the pressing force with 3 levels: mild, moderate and strong. When using the new device from Apple, users sometimes feel uncomfortable when the Home button on the device becomes too sensitive. To avoid that situation, you should set the Home button sensitivity. Go to Settings on your home screen> Select General. Pull down and select Accessibility > Home button, there will be 3 levels of the sensitivity of the Home button for users to choose.
