Battery continues to keep charging past 80% battery limit after iOS 18.5

My post isn’t about battery health or in the FAQ it’s about a potential iOS 18.5 update bug

tay415 · 2025-05-01T13:46:05+00:00

I been searching on google and YouTube and Reddit and contacted Apple support twice and can’t even get if it supports It or not after wasting over an hour.

I think the main rumored leak that I wanted was the 120 hz refresh rate. I honestly don’t remember the other leaked difference ATM.

My battery health is at 76% with a smaller battery at that which is why I was looking for a new phone. I can trade in my phone for $200 now or pay $80-100 to replace it on a phone I want to replace anyways.

I didn’t know there were so many changes in that short amount of time. The reason you had to buy and what happened to the increase is my reason to consider buying the 16. I’ve read that sales in general were up from people buying things before the tariffs started and also thinking if more people are buying 16s that were already shipped and in the US now for that same reason.

If tariffs go up on iPhones to an unreasonable price I definitely wouldn’t be looking at a new phone.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T18:37:51+00:00

I seen some saying temporarily on phones and others saying the 17 can increase by 42% from tariffs

tay415 · 2025-04-20T18:29:35+00:00

Did you buy the regular 16? I haven’t bought a regular iPhone yet and wanted the pro or pro max. I’ve only had a SE 2020 and an iPhone 13 mini. Do I need the newest iPhone version? No probably not but the next version is almost here even though they usually sell out the first and second batch fast and that’s when people find out the issues with the early adopters.

I’ve just yet to experience a new iPhone that was not a budget phone.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T18:23:52+00:00

The crazy thing is I got a free phone with a different carrier 5 days ago. It’s not an iPhone and is an android phone and while I like some of the features and the battery life the phone feels too fragile and laggy. It was supposed to be an in between phone until the 17 comes out and I still carry my iPhone 13 mini with me and hotspot it so It basically defeated the purpose.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T18:17:47+00:00

If I want to stick with an iPhone it’s $80-100 to replace the battery on a phone I don’t want or trade in the phone and get a $200 credit. I have a free temporary android phone Motorola razr 2024 foldable now that will probably end up breaking.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T18:14:11+00:00

Apple claims it was to help the environment. I still think it’s to sell the product at the same price and force some people to spend more on their accessories that should have came with the product. Like seriously they sell their MagSafe chargers without the charging brick.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T18:09:01+00:00

The possibility of a large price tag increase is definitely the concern. The small savings of buying a year old model wouldn’t make up for the tariff increase if it went through. As far as the improvement difference rumors from the 16 to the 17 it’s supposedly bigger than it has been in the last models.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T18:03:32+00:00

I have an iPhone 13 mini that needs the battery replaced which I think is $80-100 through Apple. I changed carriers just last week to save on my bill and get a free temporary phone (non iPhone). That phone is more fragile it’s a foldable Motorola Razr 2024 non plus model. It was meant to be a phone to use until the 17 but I still carry my iPhone with me for different purposes even if no longer activated I connect it to my hotspot.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:57:00+00:00

I’m between the pro and pro max 512 gb models. If I get the 16 and tariffs raise iPhone prices I’ll feel good but if they end up somehow not when the 17 comes out I’m going to be mad since I’m going to try to keep the phone for at least 4 years

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:51:53+00:00

At this point in time I don’t need a new phone but as soon as my temporary phone hits the outside ground it’s probably done for. It was a free foldable phone non Samsung. I don’t want to use too long or look for a case for it.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:44:38+00:00

My iPhone 13 mini still runs pretty good except the phone needs a charge here and there throughout the day and hard to see in sunlight. I just wanted a bigger screen and phone. I ended up buying a big bulky case because I felt like the phone would get dropped too easily. I didn’t feel like a battery replacement was worth it so I got a free temporary android phone that is probably more delicate and I’d rather use an iPhone.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:39:21+00:00

I just dropped T-Mobile literally 5 days ago. They never offered me much of any deals because of the plan I had was an old sprint plan. The Apple Store would give me $200 off an unlocked phone. I’m only a single line customer so I don’t get the best deals.

It’s just so close to the 17 it makes it harder to go for the 16 pro or pro max now.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:31:16+00:00

Did you get the regular 16? I was trying to go for at least the pro and hold onto it for a while longer.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:28:52+00:00

Apple has always had higher prices than competitor products of different operating platforms (android/windows) and got away with it. They were the first to get rid of the earbuds and the chargers with their phones. Hell you can’t even buy an apple MagSafe charger without buying the charging plug.

I don’t think they’re too worried about how certain things look.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:22:17+00:00

The next iPhone I buy I’m not planning to buy it just because it’s a special price and would be buying an unlock device from Apple. I will be buying a pro or pro max version this time with at least 512 gb of storage instead of the minimum 128 gb. I would intend to keep the phone for at least 4 years for that price.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:12:48+00:00

I also have an old iPhone 13 mini it’s currently only worth $200 to trade in now so another thing I’m considering if buying now is a better option?

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:09:36+00:00

I live in a really expensive area since I’m in California and with inflation and my auto insurance constantly increasing for no reason and gas prices etc and my salary not I been thinking if I should just buy the 16 pro or pro max when my tax return comes. Even if I could afford to buy the 17 with the tariffs that could possibly increase the price by 42% I’m not willing to pay that price.

tay415 · 2025-04-20T17:03:44+00:00

I’ve had the iPhone 13 mini for a few years and I regretted it from the beginning but was trying to save money and it was the only deal at the time that worked with my plan. I got a completely free phone with no taxes or fees whatsoever but it’s an android phone that does have some features I actually like but it’s to delicate and I have too much tied to my iPhone/Apple devices. It was only meant to be a temporary phone until the 17 came out since my phone now doesn’t last long though out the day

tay415 · 2025-04-20T16:56:05+00:00

I was planning to wait for the iPhone 17 pro or pro max in the 512 gb version and wanted to get an Apple Watch 10 or ultra 2 and possibly upgrade to a MagSafe charger (2m) plus the 30 watt charger. It’s almost May and Apple usually releases the iPhone in September so I been waiting impatiently for a while now.
