So, today, my iPhone 6 just goes black...one minute I'm on Twitter...next thing...BLACK.
I assumed that it had just restarted but no...the phone was still on...but the screen wasn't working. My apple watch was still connected and receiving notifications.
I rang Apple support and they told me to restore it, and that should do the trick. I wasn't convinced to be honest.
Anyway, I go home, connect the phone to itunes, try and restore without a screen and now, it's stopping halfway through the process to tell me this:
There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
Now, this has me worried because a month or so ago my other half was having trouble with her iphone 5. We tried to restore it (on my imac) and got the same warning...she eventually had to buy a new phone cause her other one wouldn't even turn on.
Right now, I don't know what has happened. Apple are telling me it will cost €320 euro to send back as it's out of warranty...I can't see the screen so I have no idea what possible warnings are flashing up on it...
Two very strange and catastrophic problems in one day.
I fear nobody will know what to advise here...
..but I ask anyway...
