I've had a 12 mini for 2 years and I'm at 88 battery health. I thought the 13 mini is supposed to have a larger battery? Must all be down to usage I guess.

I absolutely love the mini iPhones. Wish they had not discontinued them. I plan holding onto mine for as long as possible. Will likely get a battery change from Apple once the health dips below 60.

It was nice but because no iPad supported it it never was used for anything substantial. I quickly stopped using it on my iPhone because it didn’t work on my iPad anyway and as soon as I got used to it I automatically tried using it on the iPad and it didn’t work there.

A person making that search would still need to know that there is something that needs to be searched in order to take that 5 minutes and make the search. What exactly do you think they should have put in the search bar?

Your battery is fucked. Check your battery health, if it’s under 80% then it needs to be replaced for optimal performance. Also this could be caused in combination of the battery health being low and cold temperature. I had a 13 Pro Max with 97% health do this because I used it in the Canadian cold.

Most are not gonna do that and i don’t think devs can invoke the system settings from those shortcuts. They likely only allow you to trigger intents for your own app- but I could be wrong.

This would be useful for example, bc you could quickly toggle permissions for apps or turn notifications on/off for those apps. This is also in line with iOS behavior in other situations. For example if you swipe to “options” from a notification, all the menus that pop up there include a “view settings” option. Should work the same way on the Home Screen, that just takes you to that app’s system settings page.

Honestly, 3D Touch was a good part of why I held on to my 6s as long as I did. Really loved the feature; it’s simple to use, effective and its tactile-ness with the haptic feedback and “pop/push” or whatever the marketing term was, made it so pleasant to use.

Correct. I honestly had no idea, last I replaced a battery was when I had like the 7 or 8 plus many years ago and this unknown part mess didn’t exist then, I mean if I had more time I would’ve ordered and replaced the battery myself for half the price and gotten the same results but with the addition I personally would’ve been able to remove bcm chip off of old battery & fix it to the new at the very least. I mean honestly kinda glad it was only just a iPhone 11 and not one of our 13pm cause I’ll never take any phone I ever need fixed or even recommend their business to anyone ever again.. will gladly mail my phone in before I ever choose to do a 3rd party shop ever again. Was honestly just hoping someone here could tell me some sort of recourse I could take on the situation because I feel what they have done is wrong. I’m sure it would just be a civil suit against them, but mainly, I’m wanting to prevent them from being able to do this to future unknowledgeable potential customers! I’m pretty sure they are supposed to give some kind of disclaimer explaining if not signing something to make sure this isn’t an issue. If this was your daughters phone & she was complaining about it anyone would be just as upset as I am about it, because now it’s looking like I’m going to have to buy her a new iPhone being I can’t ever get it fixed correctly now. I’ve called the Apple Store and asked, he asked for the serial number or something then proceeded to tell me that they cannot service the battery on it and fix it now although the phone is flawless otherwise.

5 minutes on Google would have made him aware of all of this. This is a known thing and has been talked about extensively. It amazes me that in this day and age where information is abundant and instant people can’t take 5 minutes to do a minor amount of research. Had he done so he could have asked questions ahead of time or just gone to Apple. This is such an avoidable issue.

Specifically, putting a damaged battery under a heavy load will cause the output voltage of the battery to drop below the threshold voltage required to make a diode actually pass current. Effectively, this is the same as taking the battery out of the circuit momentarily and the device starts up from a power failure when the voltage returns to the breakdown threshold.
