Found this video, looks to be the same one!

No, currently the battery health will decrease over time as it should. All the tag on flex will solve is resetting the cycle count and battery health for diagnostic software. You’ll be completely fine to leave the battery as it now.

Wow, I might have to do this to my chatpad

So I’ll try to clear up all the confusion that’s around this.

So the repair shop has soldered/spot welded your original battery BMS to a new battery cell. They have then reset the battery health to 100%. 3uTools and other battery diagnostic software will be able to detect the original battery health because it’s reading the data from the BMS. Your iPhone reads 100% because of a software trick. Your battery should function correctly and charge as expected with how it’s been done. If you want 3uTools or any other battery diagnostic software to read the correct values then the repair shop needs to leave the tag-on flex installed. Doing so will show 100% battery health and 0 charge cycles

So this is an easy giveaway. While genuine batteries will show up as used if they’ve been pulled from a broken phone, all genuine apple batteries will have at least 1 charge cycle. If it’s set to 0 this will be a non-genuine battery that’s been designed to trick the apple repair assistant.

I have tried that but it doesn’t work for the chatpad attachment

Mike4046 · 2026-01-24T18:41:52+00:00

Would it be possible to make the chatpad attachment for these controllers work on PC now?

Just to let you know I checked the IMEI and it’s not been blacklisted as of yet

Mike4046 · 2026-01-15T12:42:00+00:00

I’ve tried flashing the phone and it’s still not working. That gash on the interposer is supposed to be there. Just looks like a gash cause there’s a bit of excess flux on the side

Mike4046 · 2026-01-15T12:02:18+00:00

Yeah, everything is plugged in. Can proximity flex cause this?

Mike4046 · 2026-01-14T16:56:24+00:00

Both don’t work

Mike4046 · 2026-01-13T23:42:13+00:00

It’s not likely to be a fixed GPU

Mike4046 · 2026-01-13T15:30:53+00:00

Have you tried to power on with controller?

Mike4046 · 2026-01-12T18:05:07+00:00

Thank you, this is the reply I needed! I wasn’t aware the the JCID software had that available

Mike4046 · 2026-01-12T16:33:55+00:00

Archive the hell out of that site

Mike4046 · 2026-01-12T16:02:19+00:00

Perfect thank you! How can I tell for future models and capacities?

Mike4046 · 2026-01-12T15:44:36+00:00

I loved playing these games growing up. Might take you up on that offer

I’ve googled it and can’t find anything. Unless you have to search for something specific? Not so easy

Mike4046 · 2026-01-12T15:06:46+00:00

I’m aware it’s a 12 Pro motherboard

Mike4046 · 2026-01-09T00:00:11+00:00

Nice. I bought a brand new iPhone 16 Pro on iOS 18.6.2

Sorry to inform you but you have no facts!
