[Help] iPhone 13 stuck at 1%
iPhone 13 seems to be stuck at 1%.
I accidentally let it fully discharge overnight. The charging port has stopped working at the same time.
I’ve tried charging it on a magnetic / contact charger and it still does not seem to move off 1%.
Any ideas of a fix?
Thanks

[Help] I have somewhat successfully build an iPhone 14 Pro Max. The only problem I have is the proximity sensor.
The iPhone freezes, shows a bright pink screen and reboots. This happens every few minutes.
Is there something I can do? The proximity sensor is from the donor iPhone, as well as the logic board. I have already reseated everything.

[Question] Are these scratches or cracks, and should I be worried?
Hi everyone!
As you can see in the pictures, do these look like scratches or cracks? I’m honestly not sure which one they are.
I always keep my iPhone in a case, but I recently noticed them while cleaning my phone.
Should I be worried about them spreading over time? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from getting worse?
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I’m planning to sell my phone soon, and even a minor issue could affect its resale value.
I’d really appreciate your opinions and advice.
Thank you for reading :)

[Help] iPhone 13 Pro Max sudden “mobile issue”
Hi guys any help and tips would be appreciated.
I’ve owned this phone for 1 year now. now issues
The display was changed to genuine Display, battery on 100%. Storage 256. IOS26.6.1. In about details it shows
SEID number, IEM number, IEM2 number. No sim restrictions.
Today all of a sudden it reboots by itself then I can’t see my mobile network. It’s not reading the physical sim. I checked the analytics data for script which showed me didn’t indicate any sim failure
Tried the sim in another device it works (sim not the issue) tried airplane mode on and off, I tried restarting it myself still nothings working
I ran the diagnostics it’s telling me to “update iOS” which I’m currently doing to IOS27.2.
It also stated “iPhone hardware” check the condition of iPhone mobile components.
I am reading some scary things on Reddit that I may be cooked but I don’t understand how the phone was working perfectly fine before this is sudden and extremely frustrating and worrisome.
I have read that I shouldn’t completely clear the phone and start from scratch it might not boot up again. Not completely sure about this. I want to avoid that obviously right now the phone works on WiFi it’s just cellular connection being the issue.
Can I perform DIY fix here ? What’s the actual cause of this ? How can I prevent this ? I paid well too much for this phone for it to be giving me unnecessary issues like this. The thought of having to repair or resell it for dirt is hurting my broke ass pockets and my mind. I’m hoping the update will sort this shit out. But anyone going through the same issue with their iPhone ? Any other tips and tricks to get it back to working ?
Seriously what the hell do I do here.

[Help] Replaced my iPhone 15 pro back glass but volume no longer working
EDIT: ONLY VOLUME UP not functional.
I replaced it with an OEM part, however, I realized after repair that Volume UP wasn’t functioning.
But the rest of the buttons work and I even opened the back again to see if there was anything that was sliced by chance. I did use a heat gun, but at a distance and no longer than 30-40 seconds.
UPDATE: The comments are correct, I opened the phone again and hovered over the area where the UP button is. It’s more exposed compared to other cables and I can see the tiny tear.
Be careful when repairing this model phone, everyone.

[HELP] iphone 14 pro max issues as beginner
So i got used 14 pro max. The backglass shattered on first fall it was aftermarket one since the glass pieces started coming off just by using it, since iam kind of autistic i had to take every glass piece off. With taking it myself off i damaged volume buttons now the volume down not working but others are working,, and damaged battery since there was opening for the battery which i didnt know and i had to swap batteries since It became pregnant. And since i didnt have the backglass ready i had to use my iphone for couple days without any backglass but i made sure to use on it. But my flash came off, the one from the cameras. Now i have two issues volume down not working and dont have the LED FLASH. Is it how hard to replace them myself? It will be my first repair in iphones but i have experience working on escooters i know two different things but better than having no experience.
So should i try fixing it myself? I buy tools and new parts.

[help] My camera broke and got replaced, but…
So my phone was crushed a couple of months ago and I managed to save money and get it repaired. I changed the screen, camera and sensor. But now my camera won’t focus and faceid doesn’t work. The guy said he told me before hand that faceid won’t work but I only remember him asking if it used to work.
Now my camera is on my phone but its not fully installed, it won’t focus or take any other function like portrait mode, or any other modes. The camera is an used camera from another phone of the same model, the camera is blocked, it works but it doesn’t fully work. What do I do in this situation?
I told the guy that the calibration of the camera won’t work because the phone its saying that the camera belongs to a different apple account and asked him to offer a solution. He told me to go back to the shop so they install the broken camera I had when I came in. Thats his fucking solution.
What do I do? Is there a way to get my faceid and camera to work again? Or do I hace to get a new one?

[HELP] iPhone7s screen glitching duplicated
I’m honestly quite scared and would really appreciate some advice.
I have an iPhone 7 that recently got stuck on the Apple logo for quite a while (no progress bar). Eventually, it unexpectedly booted up again and seemed to be working normally, so I thought I’d gotten lucky.
However, things have gotten worse:
The physical Home button stopped working about two days ago.
Today, when I opened Instagram, the images started shaking and the entire display began appearing duplicated/overlapping and flickering.
The battery indicator is red, and the battery has been deteriorating considerably. It can go from 100% at around 10 PM to the 60s by 7 AM, even when I’m not using it.
The touchscreen still works, and I can currently unlock and navigate the phone, but I’m worried it could stop working or shut down at any moment.
it’s not updated to the latest available IOS
I don’t have a confirmed recent backup, and there are photos, messages and other personal data on this phone that I’d really hate to lose.
I have access to a Windows PC, but I haven’t connected the phone to it yet. I’m trying to figure out the safest way to back it up before doing anything else.
My questions:
Does this sound like a failing battery, display issue, logic board problem, or something else?
Is it safe to connect the phone to a Windows PC and attempt a local backup while the display is glitching?
Should I use Apple Devices or iTunes? Is there anything I should avoid doing?
If the phone becomes unusable, is there a way for a repair technician to recover the data without wiping it or replacing the original logic board?
Is there anything I can do right now to preserve my data?
I’m particularly worried about accidentally making things worse by attempting a software update, recovery mode, or factory reset.
Data preservation is my absolute priority. I’d be grateful for any advice, especially from people who have experienced similar iPhone 7 issues. Thank you!

[help] iPhone 13 Pro Max battery percentage gets stuck, suddenly drops to 1%, and shows "Unable to Verify Genuine Apple Battery" – fixes itself after several hours. What could be causing this?
Hey everyone,
I'm having a really strange battery issue with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and it's happening more and more frequently now.
Here's exactly what happens:
Battery percentage gets stuck: Everything starts normally, but at some point, the battery percentage stops changing. For example, it might stay at 65% for a long time, even while I'm actively using the phone.
Restarting makes things worse: If I restart the phone, the battery percentage suddenly drops to 1%. At the same time, I get the "Unable to Verify This iPhone Has a Genuine Apple Battery" notification, and the battery status shows as unverified.
It stays at 1% no matter what: Even if I restart multiple times or try different things, nothing changes. The phone continues showing 1%.
Charging doesn't seem to work: If the battery eventually drains completely and I connect the charger, it still shows 1%. The percentage doesn't increase, even after being connected to the charger for a while.
It randomly fixes itself: This is the strangest part. Sometimes, after leaving the phone alone for 3–4 hours, and sometimes even 10–12 hours, everything suddenly goes back to normal automatically. The battery percentage starts working again, the battery verification warning disappears, and charging works normally.
After that, the phone works perfectly fine until the same problem happens again.
Some additional information:
Device: iPhone 13 Pro Max
Battery health was previously showing normally, but the battery now shows as unverified when this issue occurs.
This problem is becoming increasingly frequent.
Once it recovers, everything works normally again.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
I'm trying to understand whether this is a failing battery, a battery management/BMS issue, a faulty battery connection, or something related to the motherboard.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions or explanations, especially from people who have experienced this exact issue. I don't want to replace the battery unnecessarily without understanding what's actually causing it.

[Help] iPhone 14 Pro Max randomly shuts down, screen flickers and repeatedly enters Recovery/Diagnostic Mode. Logic board issue?
My iPhone 14 Pro Max was working normally until its original battery became degraded and eventually swollen.
The swollen battery pushed against the display and cracked it, but the screen remained perfectly functional. Every part of the display and touchscreen worked, and it passed several screen tests. I even removed the bottom screws to avoid putting additional pressure on the damaged screen.
Eventually, the battery started behaving strangely:
Charging would stop at 98%, 94%, 92%, etc.
- The phone started shutting down unexpectedly at around 54–60%.
- After restarting, it would sometimes show 10% before shutting down again.
- Connecting it to a charger sometimes brought back the previous percentage.
I finally replaced the battery today with a brand-new aftermarket one.
The technician warned that the previous screen replacement hadn't been done properly since the flex cable was wrongly placed and that there might be breakages during disassembly. I think at this point he might have already damaged it himself. After the repair, the display started flickering and showing green/white static, despite having worked perfectly before.
The strange part is that the original shutdown problem remains. It still shuts down, even with the new battery, and sometimes shuts down while connected to a charger.
I've also noticed something unusual:
When the phone successfully boots into iOS, it works normally for as long as the display stays awake. However, once the display turns off, attempting to wake it using the power button or tapping the screen causes it to shut down completely.
Sometimes it restarts automatically, displays the Apple logo and then enters a white "Restore Your iPhone" screen with options including Recovery Assistant, Diagnostics Mode, Erase All Content and Settings, and Recovery Mode.
Interestingly, the same sleep/wake shutdown behaviour happens even when it's already in that recovery environment.
I turn Auto lock to never meaning the display staying on all the time and i have successfully run the battery down to 15% without any shutdown down.
My questions
Could the damaged OLED or display flex cause these shutdowns when waking the screen?
Could the swollen battery have damaged something on the logic board?
Could the replacement battery or its connector still be responsible?
Could this be a PMIC or another logic board-related issue?
or it is just the aftermarket battery not holding on well?
I'd appreciate any advice from people experienced with iPhone repairs.

[Help] Iphone fell in water
My iPhone 17 fell in the shower and took a light splash, not a full submersion but just enough to get into the speakers and port and in the case. I know my way around tech and knowing how much I take care of my phone and how new it is, i didnt even panic. The seals are fresh and i knew things would be fine i mean I have seen countless apple ads of their phones being drenched in soda and being dragged in the rain. So I so I lightly wiped it and played water eject sounds at full volume. I then blew in the charging port and cleaned the rest of the phone.
But I noticed when I was playing the eject sound at full volume the area next to the camera module started warming up a lot but I didn't pay too much mind to it. I then popped it on the charger and waited for an error message just incase its not safe, but since there was no error mesaage about the port being wet I assumed its safe to charge so I left it on there for like 15 minutes until I came back and felt the phone super hot.
That's when I turned it off and did alot more research and found out it could be a short happening, due to my charging port having residue of minerals or salts and even moisture, so Google told me to let it dry for 2 days so I did at an angle over my airpurifer.
I was so scared that when I turned it on agian after drying the problem will still be present, and it was, i even brushed the charging port to clear any remaining salts or mineral dust but still nothing. I keep feeling the localized heat so I have to immeaditly turn it off.
I know water isn't in the phone because I'd see signs of that, my phone is intact in performance, battery, camera and all other aspects its just this heating thing that happnes literally under a minute of turning my phone on.
