iPhone 13 Pro Max Don’t reboot/restart your iPhone 13 pro max, I REPEAT don’t reboot it

Taz Mangus said:
I was referring to your situation with your phone. It sounds like, if you charge your phone to 100%, the battery percentage will move downward off the charger. And if you restart your phone then the issue has reset back to the battery percentage not moving downward, until you charge it again to 100% and then battery percentage will move downward again. Am I missing anything here?

Yes and no.

when I restarted my phone, whatever I tired didn’t fix the issue.

After restoring my phone, I haven’t restarted it at all, percentage is going down properly.

I can charge my phone to full without any issues. I haven’t restarted my phone since restoring it previously, I’m not willing to to risk it. 🤦‍♂️

Mine goes down even when it’s seemingly stuck, but it doesn’t go down fast enough so it doesn’t reflect actual battery depletion, this is confirmed by a soft reboot where it seemingly reads the correct battery percentage which is usually a lot lower if you didn’t reboot for a while

Seeing that in fact this problem is around since many years, on many older phones, I’m not sure it will be fixed by a software update. All threads on Apple forums about it died without solution. I’m starting to think some units are just faulty and I’m kind of glad I found out during my return window
 
i don't thnk phone is "faulty".. calibration issues/how some people have macbooks that hold at 100% or iphones. (lately realised the plug in eternity doesn't work well for macbook/causing batteries to just start swelling-regular discharge is important) like these batteries guarantee a certain mah but indeed software doesn't sync up or sth with the %. either way, just gonna reboot when i need, charge... whatever 😂. kinda won't fully run it low when im out so nothing to worry. btw though delivery times may have been sometimes brought forward or delayed i still wouldn't really want to go through hassle of returning it (if possible)

I wouldn’t be returning it because of this, if apple can’t fix it with a software update, you’ll get a replacement.

When the phone has this condition it looks like it can’t read app battery consumption

Hoping for the Mac event to take place next week along with software releases! Haha.

Tomorrow is a Tuesday, maybe we will see release candidate? Today you made a big difference by sending this thread to Apple 👏

It’s probably sitting at the end of the pile, who knows when they’ll get to it. 😂

Might have to give them another call if it’s not fixed with the next software update. 🤔

DFUed the heck out of it

Of course I'll reboot it because it has to work as the first week where I rebooted normally a lot of times, and then let's see

Anyway yeah looks like this problem is quite widespread

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem of a stuck battery on a classic iPhone 13. I did a restore via the Finder of my mac (formerly iTunes). The battery started to discharge, then on the first charge to 100%, it starts again.

You mean that the problem started again on the next 100% recharge or that a restore fixed your problem for good?

Restoration had solved the problem, until a new 100% charge. Since this morning, it's been stuck again.

I haven't restarted the phone since the restore.

Strange, after restoring my device, I haven't had the problem again, I haven't restarted my device either, try restoring again.

Then whatever you do, dont restart, hard reset, or shutdown your phone.
 
Can't believe no tech site has covered this issue. 🤦‍♂️
