The phrase "along these lines"

Hello!

I have a question on the phrase "along these lines".

When I searched the internet, what I could find was only the use and meaning of that phrase, but the paraphrase was in English. Although I found some webpage saying that it means "in this way etc" , which was in Chinese, but the phrase structure (paraphrased in Chinese) was actually used at the end or in the middle of the real English sentences and there was no one Chinese translation in which the phrase "along these lines" was put in the beginning of a sentence and separated by comma from the following content. So I would like to ask What does that phrase mean when it was put at the beginning of a sentence (separeted by comma), because I can't find any translation that has Chinese paraphrasing for this structure.

For instance:(the problem)"The advice is simple: take care when plugging the cable into the iPhone. Also, make sure it's the right cable. Yes, people often try to force in a wrong cable into the socket.
Along these lines, some iPhone owners complain that their iPhone won't charge fully-that is, the iPhone indicates a less-than-100 percent charge. Yet the problem might be that the chip on the battery and the chip on the device measuring the juice flowing back and forth are out of sync."

Thanks in advance!
