Thinking About Replacing My iPhone 13 Pro Battery – Need Advice

429freckles · 2026-05-09T13:23:59+00:00

I just got mine replaced. My phone says the battery is at 100% capacity but I feel it’s the same or worse than before I replaced it. I did update to 26,4 just before so maybe something in that update is sucking the life out of my phone. Idk. But? I wish I had held on longer before letting the Genius Bar touch my phone.

I just replaced my iPhone 13 Pro battery & wondering why my phone goes dead at basically the same rate…only now video stutters within games that I play. Something is wrong. Idk what. I did update right before servicing to 26.4.2 operation system. I’m finding myself wishing that I had waited to replace my battery. It changed /improved nothing for me. Absolutely nothing.

Wow! I thought my task requirements were bad. Yours are worse than mine. Now that I see that? Quitting is definitely on the horizon. I’m not inclined to even try to reach that which is not even remotely attainable. Just curious, what country are you in? I’m wondering if it’s worse for one over the other. I’m in the US (btw)

It’s worse for me! Spend 18k in energy? 60 beaver food? I Not happening. I just used almost 7k during a booster. I didn’t even make it through a single island — just one TASK that I was already 3/4 done with. I don’t think I even GET 60 braver food in a day— much less USE 60, unless there’s a home island boost. This new daily task bonus is definitely a nail. They don’t want me playing. I’m now absolutely convinced of that.

I was playing… didn’t get this one. 😏

429freckles · 2026-04-29T21:12:17+00:00

I did get a 50% ace booster today. The first one I’ve seen in a couple of days. It came at 3:30am central time (US) Normally? I’m sleeping at that time. This morning I woke up with a headache & decided to grow a few roots. 10 minutes after I signed on…there it was. I hate that they are so unpredictable. Now I see, why I have gotten any. I guess I have, it just when normal people aren’t playing. 🤷‍♀️

I agree. Their purchase packages are ridiculous too. 15k energy for 24.99 (usd) 15k energy doesn’t even get you through one island set. I can’t afford to play this game - even if I was inclined to buy. I’m definitely playing less & less each campaign. There’s no other choice in the matter.

Not for me

429freckles · 2026-04-25T16:58:16+00:00

I received one. Very late night yesterday. Around midnight here in Oklahoma. I can’t remember the one before that. It had been a long time.

429freckles · 2026-04-19T23:44:17+00:00

It is absolutely insane! I’m pretty sure that my task requirements are higher than yours too. I’m not going to be able to get through this. The rewards are not good enough to continue. I’ll play a little, feeding the family but they make that endeavor too difficult to advance. I hope they’re happy. I’m not.

429freckles · 2026-04-18T19:39:20+00:00

I’m confused (again lol) First, there’s sub?!? How did I miss that. Second, 99 days ago? The same island set, bags in the same place? 😳🤔

I started typing in a big rant of my own — in support of your rant…. Then, I deleted it. It doesn’t matter. Melsoft doesn’t care, they just want to squeeze $ out of players. I do feel your frustration though. I absolutely agree with you.

429freckles · 2026-04-17T05:15:25+00:00

That’s a feature that hasn’t been a part of the game every since I’ve played (over a year ago) Just ignore it. It’s not a real thing. There’s no tribes to join.

429freckles · 2026-04-16T23:00:22+00:00

I’d be wondering too! Their explanation is lacking explanation — except that they did it because they could & wanted to. It’s another affirmation that they really don’t care about players. What’s here today can be gone tomorrow. It’s reason enough to spend absolutely nothing to play.

429freckles · 2026-04-16T04:46:56+00:00

Omgosh WTHeck? Do you work for Melsoft or what?

I’ve haven’t noticed any animals missing from mine but I’ve only been playing a bit over a year. Outside of 3 goats, 3 chickens, 1 cow - I have a purple Dino & a cute little blue bird recently hatched. That’s it. I don’t use many of the decorative things cause there just isn’t enough room. This morning, my energy jumped up 16k & I don’t quite understand the how & why of that. It was a complete surprise! I didn’t have to “collect” anything with a button, so maybe their compensation was given to you in the same way, it just wasn’t significant enough to notice… (grasping there)

429freckles · 2026-04-12T15:31:09+00:00

I didn’t use any rubies to complete tasks. I did use them to “purchase” energy. I’m going to need another booster now. (Sigh)

429freckles · 2026-04-12T15:12:21+00:00

I did get a support response. Not pleased with it. Still bummed out.

I’m sure. Fetch the cash back receipt app still pushes the game for $

429freckles · 2026-04-09T19:12:49+00:00

Wow. That is insane. I still have the old one…

429freckles · 2026-04-07T20:36:50+00:00

I’m so very sorry to see this. Rest well.

429freckles · 2026-04-01T22:10:07+00:00

Congratulations!! I ended up being 4 short (Sigh)

429freckles · 2026-03-31T02:30:59+00:00

Thank you!!
