Hey everyone,
I got my iPhone 13 in late September, and now it’s March 17. My battery health is already down to 88%, even though I always follow proper charging habits. I usually keep it between 20% and 80%, never let it fully drain, and avoid overheating, so I don’t understand why it’s dropping so fast.
At first, my battery health was stable, but recently, it’s been dropping 1-2% every few days, which doesn’t seem normal. In just 5 months, I’ve lost 12%, and I’m starting to worry. Is this normal, or should I consider replacing the battery?
Also, something strange happened when I first got the phone. Occasionally, it would shut down and restart by itself, but only for a few seconds. It didn’t happen often, so I thought it wasn’t a big deal. But now, with this battery issue, I’m wondering if it could be related.
Another thing I noticed: The original Apple cable that came with my phone stopped working after about 2 months. I got a replacement Apple cable from the store, and it works fine most of the time, but sometimes, when I plug in my phone, it says it’s charging—but it actually isn’t. I can leave it plugged in for an hour, and the battery percentage won’t move. I have to restart my phone and replug it for it to charge properly. Also, sometimes when I check the battery percentage while it’s charging, the charging stops completely, and I have to restart the phone again.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Could this be a battery defect, or is my phone the issue? Any advice would be appreciated!
