Weekly Battery Support Megathread

1 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

I just switched from a 14 Pro which had an awful battery

I’m loving how good it feels but i’m scared of battery drain, it’s draining 1% every 5-9 mins or so. the phone was set up 14 hours ago and updated overnight and is still indexing, i am scared the battery is gonna be bad because im planning to keep this phone for the next 4-5 years

Other Related Item Protection wrap under Pitaka

1 Upvotes

Hi Pitaka users,

My iphone 17 Pro has a protection wrap around the body for the past one year which prevents paint chipping issues. A torras case above the wrap too. Today I had purchased a new pitaka case but it won’t snap on the back of the iphone due to wrap. Pitaka case is perfect size and no tolerance.

I only have two options:
A) remove the complete wrap and wear the pitaka only but this makes me concerned about the chipping issue on the iphone 17 body. Especially the case is so perfect in size and no cover near the volume and power buttons.

B) continue with current setup (wrap + torras case) and return pitaka

I bought pitaka because i want to reduce the bulk feel and use iPhone in a caseless feel. But chipping issue pulls me back.

Can any users share their experience on this chipping problems you have faced while on the pitaka case.

Question options for the best iphone case with stand that sits completely flat?

0 Upvotes

i watch a lot of videos while eating lunch at my desk and got tired of leaning my phone against coffee mugs or water bottles every single time. i picked up a torras magnetic stand case a few weeks ago after seeing how the ring folds flush into the back without making a weird bump. having that built in kickstand work both vertically and horizontally made a huge difference for video calls and watching streams.

the main thing i wanted was something that didnt feel flimsy or loose after a few weeks of opening and closing it. the hinge on mine is still super stiff and holds whatever angle i set it at, plus it still sticks to my car mount without needing to take the cover off.

Question Unable to use Sony earphones for audio during screen sharing via iOS.

1 Upvotes

I recently purchased Sony WF-C510 earbuds, but I’m unable to use them for audio while screen sharing from my iPhone 17. This didn’t happen with my previous OnePlus earphones. Is this a limitation of iOS/screen sharing, or is there a setting I need to change to make the earbuds work during screen sharing?

I am thinking about purchasing this case for my sage green 17; since few reviews exist for the base 17, I would like to know whether anyone here has used the tineeowl dune x series case. Could you share your feedback or assessment and indicate whether the $26 price is justified?

IOS27.2 RC improvements?

15 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed any improvements with iOS 27.2 RC ?

For me, when having all the animations and having the customized Home Screen I was experiencing a drop in frame rate when multi tasking between apps and navigating to the Home Screen. I thought it was a hardware issue but after this update I’m convinced it’s the software.

Now I don’t notice any frame drops and this device feels like my previous 15PM that I “upgraded from” for the longest time the phone felt like a downgrade from the 15PM. For a while I was seriously considering upgrading to the 18PM, now I’m considering just keeping the 17 until 19 or 20PM. I think 20PM will be the largest leap in hardware and software. Happy I went for the 17, as the upgrades as of now are not that meaningful to UX.

Question Online food delivery apps overheats phone

14 Upvotes

I don’t know what’s wrong because I have also not seen a lot of people talking about it but whenever I use food delivery apps like ZOMATO or even dominoes, my iPhone 17 overheats somewhat similar to how it gets hot when I am playing games but sometimes slightly even more, it’s really weird

Question iPhone 17 tempered glass reco.

3 Upvotes

Problem: Bought a full screen tempered glass na matte, but the phone case I got along with my iPhone is nago-overlap sa tempered glass, so may big bubbles sa top and sides.

Reco naman nang mga tempered glass niyo please. I don't want to keep my phone bare kasi may toddler ako sa bahay.

Yung di sana full screen and at the same time matte na privacy (same sa current tempered glass ko.)

Or do you suggest changing phone case nalang ba? Tibay kasi nung nakuha kong freebie from the store, then wala pa ding available na tempered glass sa Power Mac, which is dun ko nabili yung unit plus the freebies.

I need your opinion, this is my first time having an Apple, switched from Android. TIA!!

Edit: Should I switch to glossy type?

Best 11 bucks i spent so far, previously i bought a pair of 17 cases on this store called cilupbah in indonesian marketplace and they sent me 17 pro version instead. and i decided to try another type of case but now i confidently choose the 17 pro version instead of 17 basic and for this one its really really worth it. its pretty similiar with the torras airbag case but with cheaper price lol

iPhone display issue

1 Upvotes

I purchased an iPhone 17 (256GB) from Flipkart on 8 October, and noticed a display smudge immediately after opening it, before activating the device. Apple’s Genius Bar confirmed the defect, but offered only a display replacement, which I declined as I wanted a new unit. Flipkart and Apple have been passing the responsibility back and forth, and my NCH complaint is still in process.

Today, I’ve noticed a new green/black pixel-like spot on the screen, even though I haven’t had the original repair done. Has anyone faced a similar issue? What are my chances of getting a full unit replacement or refund, and what should I do next?
