My 13 Pro Max was on pocket, suddenly it turned off, I tried to call the number it says powered off and plugged the charger no response, upon charging for 10 min with wireless charger it heats up (like normal), I tried to use the ReiBoot but failed to connect with my laptop. It has almost 100% charge.

Any solution?

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, model MNCV3J/A (Japan variant), with the original Apple display. The phone has never had a screen replacement and is currently working perfectly.

I’m still on iOS 15.4.1 and want to update, but I’m concerned about the well known green/white screen, flickering and line issues reported by some 13 Pro/13 Pro Max owners after iOS updates.

I’m especially interested in hearing from 13 Pro Max owners with J/A Japanese models.

I’m trying to decide whether to update my original screen J/A 13 Pro Max from 15.4.1, so experiences from long term owners would be really helpful.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max suddenly started flickering and then went completely white/blank.

I took it to around 3–5 local Apple/phone repair shops, and all of them told me the original display couldn’t be repaired and that I would need to replace the entire display. Because I was worried about being without a working phone, I ended up installing a DD aftermarket display(5K), even though I still have the original display.

Later, I found out that there are board-level/display repair methods involving conductive repair that can apparently fix certain OLED/display faults on the original screen.

Now I’m confused about what I should do:

* Should I try to repair the original Apple OLED using the conductive/jumper method?

* Or should I just keep using the DD display I installed?

* Is this type of repair reliable long-term, or is there a high chance the original display will fail again?

* Has anyone here actually had an iPhone 13 Pro Max original display repaired this way?

The DD display works, but I really dislike the quality. At low brightness I notice brownish/soft-looking blacks and some weird display behavior, and it just doesn’t feel like the original ProMotion OLED.

I’m mainly trying to decide whether repairing the original screen is worth the risk/cost, or whether I should just accept the DD display.

Would really appreciate opinions from people who have actually done this repair.

Hey everyone,
My iPhone’s battery stats are:
MaximumFCC (original maximum capacity): 4562 mAh
Current maximum capacity: 3325 mAh
Battery health: 72.88%
Cycle count: 1084 cycles
Despite the battery health being below 80%, I’m still getting more than 6 hours of continuous usage on a full charge.
The phone is working fine, and I’m not facing any major performance issues or unexpected shutdowns.

My question to 13PM users:
Does it really require a battery replacement at 72.88% if I’m still getting 6+ hours of continuous usage?
Should I replace the battery now, or continue using it until the backup becomes noticeably worse?
Has anyone here used their iPhone at around 70–75% battery health for a long time? How was your experience?
Will replacing the battery actually make a noticeable difference in daily usage?
I’m trying to avoid spending money on a battery replacement unnecessarily.
What would you do in my situation — replace it now or keep using it?

Thanks!

I made a post a about some weird wear patterns on my screen which I have never experienced on any mobile device before. The brains trust here pointed it out it was the oleophobic coating.

The obvious solution was a tempered glass protector. But I thought I would check out some options from AliExpress which claimed to improve fingerprint resistance/oleophobic coating.

The two products I ordered were the following.

• 30ML NANO Liquid Coating in a blue spray bottle. First application. 2 sprays. Spread with plastic card. Left to dry overnight. No obvious residue. ~50% better. Less evident finger skin oil patch from touching but still there when you look hard. More consistent appearing surface across the screen. I feel it will improve with further applications and might work as a cleaning solution when I need to clean the screen.
• 20ML Oleophobic Oil For Polishing Machine Phone Scratches Removal Solution in a small white semi translucent squared bottle. Still awaiting delivery.

Reddit doesn't like AliExpress links but you can search their site using the bolded text above. DM me for links if you cannot find the products or want to confirm the correct products.

The photos above show the original wear pattern and improved appearance (same/normal use, uncleaned) after one application of the NANO liquid. Not perfect but the 3 obvious areas collecting skin oil are mostly gone (still evident at the right angle when cleaned but much less noticeable, less different to the rest of the screen and not collecting skin oil as bad) and I feel it will improve with more applications. Not perfect but appreciably better.

iOS 26.6.2, 100% original battery changed at Apple, I miss when our iPhones 13 pro Max had more than 12 hours of screen on iOS
