iPhone Battery

How can I tell if my iPhone battery is failing?

Detecting battery failure in your iPhone can be done by checking a few signs:


  • Unexpected Shutdowns>:: If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, especially without any warning, it might be a sign of a failing battery.
  • Slow Charging>:: If your iPhone is taking a long time to charge, or if it's not charging at all, it could be a sign of a failing battery.
  • Decreased Battery Health>:: You can check the battery health of your iPhone by going to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. If the battery health is significantly lower than 100%, it might be failing.
  • Overheating>:: If your iPhone is frequently overheating, it could be a sign of a failing battery. Apple's iPhones have built-in thermal protection that will shut down the device before it gets too hot. However, if your iPhone is frequently overheating, it's a sign that your battery may be faulty, and it should be replaced.
  • Poor Battery Performance>:: If your iPhone is not performing as well as it used to, or if it's struggling to complete tasks that it used to handle easily, it could be a sign of a failing battery.

If you suspect your iPhone's battery is failing, it's best to consult with an Apple Store or an Apple Certified Service Provider. They can confirm the condition of your battery and advise you on the next steps.
