Did you go out in the cold? When I worked the freezer at walmart, this happened when my phone got too cold.

A Bad Battery Replace The Battery

My battery dropped down to 81% and it’s been sitting there for more than a year. It’s almost like it knows I have AppleCare.

Even though the whole thing is not very big.

You can hide the wallpaper as of 16.2 (20C65) and it’s really helpful.

Older phones don’t have the variable refresh rate for display so AOD would eat the battery too much - same thing newer Apple Watches got to have their own AOD feature

According to the notification, This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was unable to deliver the necessary peak power. Performance management has been applied to help prevent this from happening again.

Your battery is failed and your phone is going to run slower now so the phone doesn’t power itself off.

My 12 Mini dropped to 84% before it’s first birthday, but more than two years now and it’s still 84%. I don’t believe the degradation to be linear.

Your battery is going out and phone might die randomly. My husband has this happen and slowly his phone started holding less and less charge. It would drain at random intervals and shut off. Once we’d turn it back on it would show like 56% battery life. Technically it still works, but sometimes it won’t turn on at all even if left on the charger for days at a time.

Skill issue

The battery was unable to deliver the necessary peak power.

I didn’t say they were. I said what the official threshold was and when messages like this will generally start to appear. Under 80% is expected and generally means the battery is behaving/degrading as expected over time. Above 80% is unexpected behavior and means something is wrong.

My mini just got to 89% and that’s with 2+ charges a day with MagSafe, what are you doing?

Degraded battery + cold most likely.

13 mini as well and I’m at 89% after about a year.

I was hoping for a cheaper solution haha

Not always the case. Some phones need replacement at 85

AOD is only on the 14 Pro models.

So…go trade up to a 14 Pro or Pro Max.

I actually did that, and it has not improved for me.

This whole thing is hilarious

Same thing here. What's really weird is that as well as you said, it's not after heavy use. Just for random regular tasks.

I had an X but upgraded to the 13 pro after I saw the battery improvements, apple really did skimp on them for so long

It’s not only a bit of a cash grab; it’s very wasteful and harmful to the environment.

For reference I replaced my daily 8+’s battery 3 years ago and I’m at 76% with no degradation in performance (aside from the “new OS, who dis?” features designed for the newest hardware). Lithium batteries aren’t an annual replacement item and we shouldn’t test them like that

I’ve had a mini for 6 months now and it’s at 99% idk how you got it down to 84
