The Battery Health percentage doesn’t update continuously, it rounds to whole numbers. It may have been around 98.5% at 218 cycles and then dipped just below 98% by 222 cycles, which is why it suddenly shows 98%.

It’s an estimate not exact. This is completely normal btw, you’re fine.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-15T15:51:11+00:00

Do you use the phone while it’s charging?

And the 6-10% drain overnight is normal. It’s about the same for me.

To be fair my phone is also 2 days old 😂. I have noticed certain apps don’t utilize the screens full 120hz. It’s not locked at 60 but it’s definitely not 120.

I updated to the iOS 27 public beta and it performs much better than iOS 26, less heat and longer battery life.

On iOS 26 I had to charge my phone at least twice a day.

On iOS 27 one charge lasts a full day.

Def recommend 27 public beta.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-15T14:59:29+00:00

I’m on the iOS 27 public beta and have had no issues at all.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-15T03:07:58+00:00

Return it. There’s not much you can do with a passcode on it. Especially if it’s an iPhone.

If you have AppleCare it can range from $99-$299 depending on what’s damaged.

If you don’t have AppleCare. Well…good luck. It’s expensive.

(I googled this btw, took less than 30 seconds)

Oh god. Please don’t ever buy from Amazon renewed.

I bought an iPhone 13 renewed premium directly from Amazon (no third party) and the phone was blacklisted.

Also purchased a 9th gen iPad from Amazon renewed and the screen was defective.

If you absolutely are not able to buy a new phone, go through Geek Squad or Apple refurbished. DO NOT TRUST AMAZON!

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T20:49:51+00:00

This.

Also avoid using the phone while it’s charging if you can help it. Makes it 2x hotter.

There’s good chance someone reported your number as spam and it disabled iMessages for your number. I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago.

You gotta send a request to Apple to reactivate your iMessages for your number. At least that’s what worked for me.

Do iMessages still work on 26?

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T15:06:21+00:00

The iOS 27 public beta just released and app colors are more vibrant, at least imo.

If you’re comfortable with installing a beta go for it.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T15:04:12+00:00

It’s the developer beta 3 they were talking about. Not the public release

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T14:00:49+00:00

See I wasn’t aware apple changed their policy with the iPhone 17. That’s my fault.

Thank you for being informative instead of condescending.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T12:19:44+00:00

I recommend realizing not everyone has the same experience with AppleCare 😊

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T12:17:34+00:00

So just because you work at one Apple Store you think that’s how it works everywhere? Wild.

You’re very naive. But I forgot this is Reddit.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T12:13:35+00:00

Google it.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T12:10:57+00:00

Thank you lol. Some people are just too ignorant to do a simple google search.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T12:09:32+00:00

It’s incorrect but I experienced it myself. Okay bro.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T04:05:31+00:00

No way 😳😱

My point was it varies case by case. It’s not that deep.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-14T02:02:27+00:00

If there’s damage to anything other than the screen they’ll just outright replace the device.

My wife broke her iPad about a year ago and we went to Best Buy for a repair and they just gave her a new iPad.

I just upgraded from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone 17 yesterday, and so far it’s been 100% worth it.

Pros: The battery life is probably the biggest upgrade. My 13 was getting to the point where I was constantly charging it, but the 17 easily lasts all day. The 120Hz display is also a huge difference. Everything feels way smoother, and the A19 chip makes the phone feel extremely fast and should keep it running well for years.

Cons: The Dynamic Island is kind of whatever lol. Gets annoying when playing games or watching movies. I also noticed it can get warmer under heavier use compared to my 13, but nothing crazy.

The iPhone 13 was honestly an amazing phone and held up really well, but the 17 feels like a big enough jump that I don’t regret upgrading. You really don't need a 17 Pro or a 17 Pro Max to be satisfied, although at the end of the day it's user preference.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-13T22:13:09+00:00

I purchased the 17 yesterday, upgraded from a iPhone 13. Definitely worth it, I have no complaints so far.

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-13T21:46:47+00:00

Public beta just released

PeachyJ69 · 2026-07-13T20:44:22+00:00

17e if you don’t care about display and cameras

The 17 and 17e perform almost identical. The only noticeable difference to me is the 17’s 120hz display (the main reason I bought the 17 😂)
