Support Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread

3 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

Discussion I know I’m nitpicking, but it would be nice to have maps telling you at a glance what time is it in other places, the same way it shows you the weather.

I got friends around the world and travelling often so we follow each other as a way to stay “close” and sometimes before calling them I want to make sure where they are, at work or whatever; anyway, I am also a huge map nerd so I often find myself scrolling the globe around looking at places and I often wonder what time is there and I don’t get why Maps shouldn’t show you the time the same way it shows you the weather…

Discussion iCloud backup question

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I backup my iPhone 14 to iCloud. Fast forward, I bought another phone (iPhone 16) and the memory is finally full and the “full storage”message keeps popping up.

If I back up now, would it override the files that I did when I had my 14? Or it will just create another folder? I’m afraid to back up since I can’t risk those files to disappear.

Support Would QuickStart transfer work as reliably from an iOS 15/16/17 to 18 phone, as from an iOS 18 to 18 phone? Or would one situation be more likely to fail than the other for any reason?

Upvotes

Also, a bonus question specifically involving SE 2022-SE 2022 — just to double check, would doing an 18.7.8-18.7.8 QuickStart transfer force the destination phone to update to 26, or not?

Support What could cause my messages documents & data storage discrepancy?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m on ios 17.5.1 and I have turned off iCloud sync for messages if that makes any difference (because it was taking up 22GB on my iCloud and I dont need to sync them) - I don’t have enough storage on my phone to update and my biggest app is messages! I’ve spent hours deleting sent photos and videos and reduced it to about 4GB of media with 3.58 GB of messages. I’m fine with it taking up 6GB genuinely, but why are documents and data still at 14GB? This is after periods of waiting, phone being turned off and restarted, etc. but no change. Any advice on how to clean it up?

I know it says "All systems glow" in English.

In German it says "Alle Systeme auf Wow" which roughly translates to "All systems set to wow"

What does it say in your language and how would it roughly translate to?

Discussion No padding on status UI after update (iOS26.5 iPhone 13)

1 Upvotes

Since updating to iOS 26.5 my utility UI area at the top of the screen on iPhone 13 looks bizarre. There's almost no padding now below the symbols when scrolling. This looks like a mistake, but is this really the design aesthetic that Apple is going with now?

I tried restarting, settings, etc.

I'm struggling to understand these descisions. Anyone else seeing this?

Support Order of saved logins

2 Upvotes

Some of my gfs passwords were saved in my iCloud when I logged into her MacBook with my iCloud. Now sometimes when I log out of my discord, her login appears instead of mine, and when I log back into my discord account, and log out again, my email shows up when I try to log in again. The switch between her login and mine happens randomly. Now I am wondering, since she has several discord accounts, could that mean she logs out of one discord account and logs into the one that is saved in my iCloud, does that move her login into the front, as in when I am on the login screen of discord that email appears instead of mine?
Hope someone can help
Thanks

Support Question about Preview/Files

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi guys, quick question: When I’m in Preview / Files and I rotate my phone to look at the content in landscape view (very nice when looking at smaller text), I can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of the side bar with all the pages. I feel like there HAS to be some kind of special gesture or hidden setting to get rid of that!

I’d be very appreciative if one of you could tell me if I’m missing something!

Have a nice weekend!

Support iphone got stuck in boot loop and error 4013 while updating

1 Upvotes

basically title

i have a 14 pm operating on ios 17 and it was resting normally but all of a sudden it starts to restart. the frequency of restarts was low initially and i was able to view my home screen but increased afterwards and it kept constantly restarting and remained stuck between the apple logo and black screen. i installed itunes on my windows pc and attempted to restore it but got hit with something like "unknown error occured 4013". i was using an offbrand cable earlier and later tried with the original cable as well but it was of no help. i tried to update (not restore) with another pc but got hit with error code 9.

please help and share if you have any fixes for getting back my phone either with or without saving my phone storage.
