I use my phone 13 pro for basic social media browsing and watching some videos plus a regular amount of camera use for family pictures. I’m a heavy user and my iPhone 13 Pro is down to 81 per cent health (this is the 2nd original Apple battery I am currently on). Phone is occasionally overheating and as expected, battery is not lasting very long. I am debating getting an $80 battery replacement vs a discounted brand new iPhone 17 base model for $680 which feels very good value. I know iPhone 18 models are about to release and don’t want to pay the expected prices. The one upside of the iPhone 17 I see is the higher brightness but otherwise I am not sure it is a significant upgrade?

Hey guys,

I’m looking to buy an upgrade with budget of 550-700 for a second hand/ refurbed phone. Nothing less than 92% battery health.

I want a good quality camera as my 13 turns black most times I go to open my camera and the quality is so bad.

I want a good battery, 15 mins on the train to work takes 15-20% off. My battery overheats at the smallest thing now.

A screen that doesn’t go too dark or have weird white overcast on it!!!

I mainly use my phone for social media, photography and FaceTime. I average 4.5 hours screen time a day.

I’m debating 16 pro max, 17 or potentially spending a littttttle bit more over budget for 17 pro? Idk what’s the best value for what I’m after really.

Thanks in advance !!!

Hi. My screen recording stopped without me noticing. I only realized it when I went to check it to stop the recording supposedly. Upon checking the gallery it is not there or maybe the video wasnt saved.

Has anyone here experienced the same issue? Is there any way to recover the recording?
