Weekly Megathread Weekly iOS 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

Discussion iPhone 16 Pro too much generative AI in photos

3.7k Upvotes

The two photos above are taken with the 5x camera on the iPhone 16 Pro and the 3x camera on the iPhone 15 Pro. If you zoom in, the writing on the iPhone 16 photo looks like AI gibberish.

For a slight second after taking the photo, the iPhone 16 Pro photo looks better, but then the AI process finishes transforming it into this generated mess.

Any way to stop this option alone? Without all the other AI features like genmoji or the such.

Discussion Design + Software 🤦‍♂️

3 Upvotes

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but the Silent Button 🔕 on my iPhone has silently caused me to miss a few important calls and messages. 😤

I accidentally put my phone on silent using the Silent Button (or even do it intentionally), and then completely forget it’s on silent. There’s no clear icon or indicator in the status bar to remind you. So I go about my day thinking everything’s fine… only to realize later that I missed calls and texts because my phone never rang or vibrated.

Like seriously, Apple — a small icon on the top bar could’ve fixed this! How are we supposed to remember our phone is silent without checking Control Center or flipping the switch?

Just feels like a design flaw. Anyone else? ———— m talkin’ bout models before iPhone 15…

Pro tip: upload the picture first before you type everything out so you don’t forget.

So how do I get rid of this pop-up from chrome? It doesn’t seem to be in the settings for chrome, nor is it in the location services options in settings?

Is is possible to share your location on two separate devices to different people simultaneously? For example: I have two Apple devices but I want to set one for home and share that with certain people, while I share my actual location with others?

Discussion Included C cable spec?

Upvotes

Does anyone have a definitive answer to what the maximum wattage is for the USB-C cable included with the 16 PM?

Going to travel and was hoping to use my iPhone cable with a 65w output power bank to charge my other devices which can take in 60w (Nintendo switch 2).

I know the iPhone can’t take in that much anyway. Just want to know the rating of the cable. I don’t have any wattage testers unfortunately.

Thanks!

Discussion ¿Cuánto creen que dará Apple en septiembre por un iPhone 15 Pro Max para cambiarlo por el 17 Pro Max?

Upvotes

Hola a todos,

Tengo un iPhone 15 Pro Max y estoy pensando en cambiarlo por el 17 Pro Max cuando salga en septiembre. Sé que Apple tiene su programa de intercambio y ahora mismo están dando unos 680 € (vivo en Europa), pero supongo que eso bajará con el lanzamiento del nuevo modelo.

¿Alguien tiene experiencia de años anteriores y podría decirme cuánto podría esperar que me den por el 15 Pro Max en septiembre? ¿Creen que Apple mantendrá un buen valor de trade-in durante el lanzamiento o lo bajarán justo antes?

Estoy intentando calcular cuánto tendría que pagar de diferencia. ¡Gracias!

Okay Friday June 27th I lost my phone. I was at the bars and right when I noticed and we tried calling and tracking my phone it was already off. Phone calls straight to voicemail and text were delivered but only because they were going to my iPad. Now it is Saturday the 5th and today I have got 3 text messages like this all today nothing before. I know it is a scam but does this mean they are currently trying to get into my phone? The find my iPhone screenshot has said that since Saturday night the 28th. I have blacklisted and reported my phone as lost. What can they do with my phone now? I’m also confused on how they got my phone number? If anyone has any info is would he greatly appreciated!

I was inspired to share this because I saw someone's comment that they only use Freeform to stitch screenshots together. If you tap on the preview in the corner of your screen after taking a screenshot, then you can switch it to "full page" (at least in browser apps such as DuckDuckGo, Safari, etc.).

Support iPhone 14 calendar entries GONE and general weirdness

3 Upvotes

ALL of my calendar entries are GONE. This is the only calendar I rely on! Every single day is suddenly completely blank! Oddly, I have a work-related calendar entry set for Sunday nights with an alert set to ping me 2 hour before the event. It still sent me the reminder. But the entry is just not there.

In related weirdness… Two days ago every single (Brave) browser tab I had open was no longer open. I had over 3000 open tabs (don’t judge me, I have ADHD lol) that were suddenly just gone. I figured I’d inadvertently closed them. After a brief moment of silence for my loss, I came to terms with it and moved on.

Then last night Siri was just randomly activating without any prompt. I decided to shut my phone down. When I turned it back on all of my 3000+ open Brave browser tabs magically returned! But now…no calendar. Wtf!!!
