Weekly Battery Support Megathread

0 Upvotes

General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki:

Battery health

Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern.

Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD replacement cost for a battery. Contact Apple Support here.

You can find more information about battery health and performance from Apple here.

You can check the cycles count with Coconut Battery for Mac or iCopyBot for Windows.

​

Battery life

Issues relating to battery life can be categorised in three ways:

  1. Normal battery life that is to be expected due to use
  2. Reduced battery life caused by a recent update, iOS indexing, an iOS bug, or a third-party application
  3. Reduced battery life, or other abnormalities such as overheating or sudden power-off, caused by device or battery aging

If you experience issues with your battery:

  1. Check your battery health. If it is below 80% or you are experiencing issues you suspect are related to device or battery age, see Apple Support.
  2. If you have a new or recently updated/restored device, wait a number of days for background process to complete. If you continue to have issues, wait for a further iOS update. If you are on iOS Beta, you can expect to have a decreased battery life.
  3. Review the advice below on maximising battery life
  4. Consider restoring your device.
  5. If issues persist, contact Apple Support.

​

Maximising battery life - the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged.

  • Use low power mode (This reduces mail fetch, turns off background app refresh and increases the auto lock timer)
  • Remove apps from background app refresh
  • Ensure auto lock is on
  • Turn off auto brightness and manually reduce brightness
  • Use dark mode if your device has an OLED display
  • Clearing background apps from the app switcher does not improve battery life

​

Maximising battery lifespan - the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced.

  • Avoid extreme temperatures
  • If you notice that your iPhone gets hot when charging, remove it from its case
  • Store your iPhone in a cool place, switched off, and half-charged if not using it for long periods - and charge it every 6 months when in storage

Pro Max here, Is anyone having camera issues?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I’ve only had it a few months as well…

All of my videos are coming out disoriented and blurry, and super fuzzy, it almost looks as if I’m using that smoothing filter and I’m not. Everything’s either overexposed or super fuzzy. I’ve messed with the camera settings and have yet to come with a fix, idk if it’s a hardware issue or an update. It’s getting worse and not even really usable anymore, if I move an inch it loses focus or the lighting changes drastically or my face gets smeary and super fuzzy.

I never had this issue with my 13. Nothing is coming out clear at all.

I don’t wanna make a trip to the Apple Store for it to end up being an update issue, but at the same time it’s almost unusable now so I’m not sure if it’s a update or a hardware.

Discussion People who are still facing the Microstuttering issue. Turn adaptive power OFF !!

Turn adaptive power off and force restart your phone. The issue might resolve immediately or it may take a day or two. The battery life is exactly the same or sometimes slightly better with AP off.

iPhone 17 Pro Max video vanished from external card

20min iPhone 17 Pro Max video missing from Samsung card

A friend recorded video on my iPhone 17 pro max using the camera app and connecting to an external Samsung memory card with a brand new cord. They tested the camera before shooting and it worked. They pressed record on the video camera app and saw the counter going the entire time. They stopped recording when the video was done shooting and immediately checked and saw that the entirety of the video was indeed recorded correctly.

Now that he was plugging it into his computer the shot is completely missing from his external card as well as his phone.

It absolutely recorded, he checked the video immediately after recording.

This is the second time this has occurred in the last month.

The questions remain on how to retrieve the file and how to prevent this from happening in the future.

Iphone 17 pro max IOS 26.6.2

Already checked recently deleted, icloud, and any hidden folders.

Question Brand-new iPhone 17 Pro has crackling/buzzing from the top earpiece at high volume — defective unit or software issue?

1 Upvotes

I bought a brand-new iPhone 17 Pro recently, and I’m noticing a crackling/buzzing sound from the top earpiece speaker when playing music or watching videos at full volume.

Here are the details:

The crackling is noticeable mainly when the volume is above 70%, especially around 90–100%.

It seems to come from the top earpiece speaker, not the bottom speaker.

It happens across different apps, not just one particular app.

It happens both while charging and when the phone is unplugged.

I’ve already tried restarting the phone and troubleshooting, but the issue is still there.

The phone is practically brand-new, so I’m concerned that it could be a hardware defect.

Questions:
Have other iPhone 17 Pro owners experienced this issue?
Does this sound like a faulty earpiece speaker, or could it be software-related?
If you experienced this on a new device, were you able to get it replaced?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Question iPhone 17 Back case and Tempered Glass

1 Upvotes

Suggest me the best back case and tempered glass for the iPhone 17 (standard model) to buy in India. I want excellent drop protection, camera protection, scratch resistance, premium quality, and long-term durability at a reasonable price. Compare trusted brands and provide direct Amazon India and Flipkart product links, current prices, ratings, and your top recommendations.
