iPhone battery damage symptoms:

Here are a few signs that your iPhone battery needs to be replaced.

• Your iPhone’s battery drains quickly
• The battery charges too slowly. 
• The battery is unable to maintain its charge.
• The iPhone switches off despite still having some charge.
• The iPhone’s screen protrudes beyond the frame.
• Your iPhone is overheating.
• The iPhone doesn’t turn on at all even when charging.

Why do iPhone batteries need to be replaced?

Apple quietly added a feature in the iOS 10.2.1 update in 2020 to lower the maximum performance of older iPhone models with deteriorating batteries. The tech media reached out to Apple for answers when they discovered this.

According to Apple, the update was created to stop the unexpected shutdowns experienced by older iPhones. The shutdowns occurred when iPhones with degraded batteries were drawing more power than the battery could supply at once.

To this day, every iPhone model follows the same rule. iOS will reduce the peak performance of your iPhone when it detects that your battery is aging. As a result, your iPhone would operate slower under demanding conditions. In this case, replacing the old battery with a new one is the only way to restore its performance to normal.

Do I need to replace the battery or the entire iPhone?

If your iPhone has lasted at least 4 years or longer, it is better to replace the whole phone. Because, besides the battery, other internal electronic parts on the motherboard start to deteriorate at that age.

As of 2022, anyone with a used iPhone X or older would be better off buying a later model iPhone (iPhone 12 or later) than replacing the phone battery.

Why is my iPhone 14 battery dying/draining so fast?

Below are various reasons why your iPhone 14 battery is dying so fast:

• Automatic app updates and automatic downloads are enabled. 
• Your Screen Brightness is too high.
• You are receiving too many notifications.
• A few of your apps could be draining too much battery.
• You may have too many apps running in the background.
• You may have disabled dark mode.
• Cellular data drains the battery faster than Wi-Fi.
• You may have to update to the latest iOS version.
• Your iPhone 14 may need a hard reset.
• It might be time to replace the battery.

How do I keep my iPhone 14 battery health at 100%?

The only way to keep your iPhone’s battery health at 100% is to stop charging and using it. Apple claims that the battery should retain 80% of its initial capacity after 500 full charging cycles.

But in reality, due to the normal battery-wear and tear process, each time your iPhone 14 battery does about 25 charging cycles, it will lose approximately 1% of the original battery capacity. That means your iPhone would have lost 12% of its health as a result after 300 recharge cycles (100% – 12% = 89%).

However, after 300 cycles, your iPhone may show a battery health capacity much higher than 89%. That’s because Apple usually includes a larger (about 100 to 200 mAh larger) iPhone battery than what’s mentioned in the phone specs. That’s also the reason why your iPhone battery stays at 100% for the first several months before starting to drop.

Can iPhone 14 battery health go back to 100%?

No, your iPhone battery health cannot go back to 100%. The drop in battery capacity is directly proportional to its chemical degradation. If your phone has already lost its battery health percentage, then there is nothing you can do other than replace the battery.

How long does it take to replace an iPhone 14 battery?

A customer’s wait time depends on several factors, including whether or not the correct replacement battery is in stock, how many technicians are available, how many other jobs are waiting to be completed, and whether the old iPhone that needs a battery replacement is structurally sound.  

Some people have testified that it took about 90 minutes for the replacement to be done. Others, meanwhile, had to return the following day to pick up their iPhones with a fresh battery. If the battery is not in stock you may have to wait until a shipment with that battery comes in.

Battery upgrades are more worthwhile for iPhones with lower battery health. If you are looking to upgrade to a newer model, wait until the fall release. When the latest model launches, the price of older models decreases.

An excellent way to extend the life of an older-model iPhone is to replace its battery. Cell phone batteries only last about two years before they begin to degrade.

What is bad battery health on iPhone 14?

• Performance management will kick in when your iPhone’s Battery Health reaches 95%, and your iPhone will slow down. 
• In the event that your phone’s battery health is at 79% or less, it has been significantly degraded.

Does overcharging an iPhone 14 battery damage it?

Doing it occasionally won’t hurt, but if you do it every night, that extra heat can cause the battery’s performance to prematurely degrade. In fact, the lithium-ion batteries in phones don’t really need to be charged fully at all.

Does the iPhone 14 warranty cover the battery?

Your iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 500 complete charge cycles. The 1-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, a battery service may be available through your local Apple Authorized Service Provider.

How often should I charge my iPhone 14?

If your phone’s battery gets low during the day, you can top it up to maximum capacity. But don’t keep it at 100% for too long.

The iPhone 14 uses a lithium-ion battery. Such batteries are most stable at around 50% charge. Leaving your iPhone 14’s battery fully discharged at 0% for a long time is not recommended. Also, you shouldn’t keep your iPhone 14 battery fully charged at 100% for too long.

If you have enabled Optimized Battery Charging in the iPhone battery settings, then the best practice is to charge the phone overnight, every night. When the feature is activated, your iPhone may occasionally delay charging after 80% and complete charging when it feels like you may soon use your device.

Optimized battery charging is a feature available in iOS 13 and later. It aims to extend the lifespan of your battery by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. Your iPhone learns your charging habits and only uses optimized battery charging when it knows you’re going to charge it.

Is it okay to charge an iPhone 14 overnight?

If you have enabled Optimized Battery Charging in the iPhone battery settings, then charging your iPhone overnight shouldn’t cause any issues. 

You should never charge your iPhone overnight if you have Optimized Battery Charging disabled. That’s because lithium-ion batteries are naturally reactive. As such, they can easily overheat when left overnight to charge. This can cause them to catch fire.

Does the iPhone 14 always-on display drain the battery?

The always-on display is a feature that’s been optimized for the iPhone 14’s OLED ProMotion display. But turning it off will give you some extra battery life. 

That’s why when you toggle on Low Power Mode on your iPhone (by tapping on Settings > Battery and toggling Low Power Mode), the always-on display gets disabled.

How long does iPhone 14 take to charge?

Using a 30-watt charger, you can charge your iPhone 14 from 0% to 50% in about half an hour. It will take about two hours to go from 0% to 100%. 

Comparatively, a 20-watt charger would take about three hours, while an older Apple USB 5-watt charger would take about four hours.

Obviously, if you are charging overnight, this difference in speed may not matter to you. But if you want the fastest charging possible, upgrade your old USB charger to a USB-C charger rated at around 30 watts.
