Below are some common issues with the iPhone 7 and their basic troubleshooting steps:

1. Poor Battery Life: As with any smartphone, over time the battery life can start to degrade. Try reducing screen brightness, turning off Background App Refresh for apps that you don't need to update in the background, and limiting the use of dynamic wallpapers and motion effects. If your battery health is significantly degraded, consider getting the battery replaced.

2. Performance Issues: If your iPhone 7 is running slow, clearing out unnecessary files and apps can help. Regularly updating your iOS to the latest version can also improve performance.

3. Overheating: Overheating can occur if the iPhone is used intensively for a long period, or in a hot environment. Let the phone cool down and avoid using heavy applications for a while.

4. Connectivity Issues: If you're having issues with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, try toggling the relevant setting off and back on. If that doesn't work, you can go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Be aware that this will forget your Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings.

5. Apps Crashing: If a specific app is constantly crashing, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Make sure your apps and iOS are up to date.

6. Haptic Feedback Not Working: The iPhone 7 replaced the physical Home button with a haptic (vibration) feedback one. If it's not working, try restarting your iPhone. If the issue persists, contact Apple Support.

7. Audio Issues (Loop disease): Some iPhone 7 units experienced an issue known as "Loop Disease," where they have grayed-out speaker icons during phone calls, or the phone may hang during startup and not go past the Apple logo. This is usually a hardware issue and needs professional repair.

Remember to back up your data before attempting any major troubleshooting steps. If you're still facing problems after attempting these steps, it may be time to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store. Contact Clear Wireless Customer Support for assistance.
