I use a wooden toothpick that I’ve nibbled the end a little bit on. The roughened up slightly moist wood works great for grabbing lint and dust really well and no metal on metal damage.

And by that logic 5GB iCloud is just a trial for more storage.

it does so because it wants to save battery from dying faster it charges again as it thinks will be enough time before you wake

A hard reset interrupts the processes that are running and restarts the device to the same state. It will not resolve this issue. Powering the device off entirely will purge temporary files and possibly resolve a software related issue.

Source: I am an ACiT that has directly observed and resolved this issue multiple times.

Go Settings>Battery>Battery Health and Charging, and turn this setting off.

If not this then I don’t know what is going on.

Press volume up, down, then press and hold side button till apple logo appears and let go. If there’s a software glitch preventing the charging this should clear that.

I read recently that many stolen phones are kinda exported to different country. Imei block is not worldwide.

It doesn’t really matter in the short term as it likely won’t affect the person who stole it. The person in here a week from now saying “help! I just bought this on Facebook marketplace…” is the one who’ll ultimately get it in the shorts. Not to say you shouldn’t lock it. You should. But if you’re thinking this will somehow rob the thief of their win, it’s unlikely to, unfortunately.

hmmm unfortunately cant test it since its available jn out country

If you rule out physical symptoms (port is clear, symptom is replicated with known good cables and adapters), then power the device off. Don’t do a hard resetc that won’t change the device state.

No. Power the device off completely, wait the ten seconds, and then turn it back on again.

Turn off the optimized charging function, probably it will help

You are. Google gives you 15GB because making ad money based off your data is their business model.

Guess you should just switch to Google then. And rage when they, too, charge you for cloud storage matching your phone. Because cloud storage costs money.

My iPhone SE 2020 (81% battery health, or max capacity at 1475 mAh out of 1821 mAh) drained 25% in 19 hours. That's 1.3% per hour. Theoretically it could last about 4 days of standby time.

Meanwhile the newer iPhone 13 Pro Max could last a couple weeks of standby time, and the older 5s will gulp down battery quicker.

It all depends on the model of your phone. Losing a percentage overnight is undoubtedly legitimate given the plus size of that phone and the battery health, however a 5~15% overnight drain is typical and completely acceptable. That said, leaving your phone to charge overnight is the best approach and saves you from unnecessary worries.

Imei unlock does both. It only takes a couple minutes to find on EBay.

There is a difference between the GSMA global blacklist and carrier blocks (not to be confused with SIM locks).

Past due bills are carrier blocks. Lost/stolen are global blacklist.

My 14 was maxing out at 93-96%. Restart fixed it

Gotcha, I used to have an issue where the charger would be plugged in but the battery would still drop

That will tell you the "health" of the battery, which you can already see under the battery menu in Settings. There is a separate "Battery Usage" diagnostic Apple support can run; which doesn't provide much additional information, but might be useful if the problem persists after a restore.

So if they unlock it wouldn’t it be read as unlocked tho? Or would the unlock swap the imei number

Yes IMEI unlock services are run by rogue cellular employees so they have access to the backend and abuse their access to make a few tax free bucks.

I cloud lock was disabled

That’s where I get mine too 🤣

And also a new battery is like $70 so it’s really not a big deal either way
