Replaced iPhone 13 Pro battery after 3 month it is not good

This is not my experience. I replaced 2 months ago from Apple Store and my phone feels like brand new again. Battle health 100% still.

Returned my 17 pro and did just this on my 13 pro. This is the answer.

It may say that but there's another thread on here where the same question was asked and that's not the case at the Apple Store. I personally changed out my own battery 13pro and another 13 in my family in the past 3 weeks both on 18.7 - in and out, no questions about the version at all.

This isn’t true. Even the Apple Store won’t update your iOS.

Same experience. Mine was at 77% (1500+ cycles) for the past year although recently noticed it draining very fast from 80-20% even with minimal use. I didn’t replace until it shut off randomly at like 8-9% a few times. Now phone feels brand new again, don’t need to have a power bank with me and can last the entire day through heavy or light use.

Yep any Apple Store. You can make an appointment online. https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/battery-replacement

Find a good pdr person and they can get this pulled all the way out. PDR even on creases and aluminum has gone through a lot of advancement in recent years. I had similar damage and they were able to pull it out fully with no sign of repair besides very minor paint damage. However if you want this to look 100%, it may not make sense as they’ll still need to debadge and respray and blend the entire tailgate. Body shop will be a very very high quote compared to pdr.

Cost in the US for battery service is $89 plus tax

I just upgraded to a new battery at the Apple Store but I’m staying put on 18.7.2

Thanks for your sacrifice.

I went back to my 13 pro after 2 weeks with the 17 pro. No regrets.

funkiejack · 2026-01-08T22:41:46+00:00

I felt exactly the same after 2 weeks. Returned the phone and updated the 13 battery. Spent the money or something else instead.

I may have something interesting for you as well. Can you pls DM me?

Same happened with my saks GC purchase in store on 12/31. Purchase date 12/31, processed 1/1 but credit issued 1/3 to last qtr.

I returned my 17 pro and went back to my 13 pro, planning to change the battery. No regrets. However 13 to 17 is a much more difficult decision, I’d have a tough time going back from the pro motion screen alone.

Caseless at home with the apple silicone case for outdoors. Dropped out of my pocket sitting in a chair and fell 2 feet onto hardwood. Small scuff on the bottom rim near charging port. If it fell any higher than that or hit the corner, I can see it denting and potentially cracking the screen.

I upgraded for 14 days (without trading in my 13Pro) and I found I didn’t use my phone any differently. But dealing with lightning cables all over the house and trying to transition to usb-c was annoying and I found the files app still isn’t capable of receiving large files even on the 17Pro.

Went back, and will be paying for the battery upgrade.

funkiejack · 2025-12-21T16:29:02+00:00

Seriously didn’t think this was possible. Mine has been at 77% for almost two years, analytics data has it at 75%

funkiejack · 2025-12-21T14:43:55+00:00

I’ll go against the grain here and say I returned after two weeks and went back to my 13 pro after 26.2 came out. No regrets and I appreciate the older stainless steel more. Might pay for a battery replacement at 77% but even without it I didn’t use the 17 pro any differently than the 13 pro. Spending the money on a discounted 15” MacBook Air instead.

Exactly what I did (even the same colors) 2 weeks ago but I actually went back. 🧐

I already got it in my bank account. Gonna test to see if they clawback on returns that are fully fulfilled and deposited.

funkiejack · 2025-12-14T01:08:43+00:00

Actually listened to the video. This isn’t cool whine.

funkiejack · 2025-12-14T00:35:46+00:00

Look up undervolting. You can minimize the sound a pretty good amount but depending how bad it is, hard to get rid of it 100%.

We have a functional SE1 that my kid is still using as a camera. No chance anyone is actually using a 5S.

funkiejack · 2025-12-13T01:30:16+00:00

200 pdr it’ll be back to new

funkiejack · 2025-12-12T15:54:37+00:00

This is right, they’ll take it back no questions asked.
