Will a factory reset fix overheating/battery problems?

[Tovenaar]

I have an iPhone 7 Plus and ever since updating to iOS 13 (and now 13.2) my battery won't last more than half a day and the phone is always very hot. Has anyone tried a factory reset and restore to fix this? What was your experience?

It’s possible. How old is the battery? Cycles/capacity?

Battery was replaced in December by Apple. Currently at 92% health.

When you check your battery stats do you see anything using an abnormal amount of battery power?

It is entirely possible you will get less issues after a factory restore and setting up as new. It worked wonders for my devices.

Though as mentioned above, it’s worth checking for anything behaving unusually in the battery settings first.
