iPhone 5s

The iPhone 5s was the first iPhone with a 64-bit CPU and a fingerprint sensor called Touch ID.

Please be careful when lifting the display from the main body, a very short and fragile cable connects the home button to the main body. If you break this cable, Touch ID will stop working and because it's factory linked to the motherboard no replacement component will bring the fingerprint sensor back.

At most flicks the screen lightly	repair shop - ask for: charge the battery externally note it will charge via usb once the battery's charged cost is around $20 if not working - replace the battery at home - buy an external charger - options: remove the battery charge it on an external charger wireless use adapter for the qi devices prevent for the future: charge phone when done using it shut down when fully charged turn on only when ready to use again Extra avoid the phone discharging to 0 even if it does, recharge it asap try to delete anything that slows down phone, like apps avoid relying on that phone remove information that you need, like photos, etc. get by without it use another phone avoid iOS 10 (see Dec 6, 2016 by Steve Pollitt) upgrade to at least iOS 11.3 factory reset	using a heater charging the phone in a wall, high speed, computer, etc. removing dirt pressing and holding buttons charging for long periods of time replacing the battery
Icloud won't update from the phone -> icloud	wait 1-2 days to see the files to arrive use other services to send them out ex - email, connecting to the computer notes make sure the wifi is on the phone to send out the files icloud has permissions for the notes app you're properly signed into icloud on the computer and phone if not - it'll say 'access denied' leave the phone on	turning the notes permission on and off only deletes the notes it doesn't send them out any more than before
