I worked at AppleCare for a couple years, doing call evaluating. A staggering volume of calls were solved by the tech advisor simply asking the customer to read the full message on the screen/ screen sharing and reading it for them. Especially with Apple Pay calls…

“This card can not be added, please contact your bank/ card issuer.”

Phones Apple Support to ask what to do.

Eh the explanation could mention that all lithium-ion batteries degrade over time and suggest to replace the battery I guess.

arochains1231 t1_j1brrvn wrote

Most likely due to an old/degraded battery. The easiest way to check how degraded your battery health is is to go into Settings->Battery->Battery Health & Charging (here's a guide if it helps). If the percent shown any lower than 80% you should probably get the battery replaced to prevent it from happening again, or the whole phone if it's really old.

No joke, my phone was stuck at 81% for roughly 20 months. It finally dropped to 80% after, what? I think 600-700 charge cycles? It took soooo long

FknBretto t1_j1d24fm wrote

80% is a bit early to be replacing the battery unless it’s faulty, iPhones won’t even pull performance at that battery health. This battery is probably a lot lower than that to be triggering the performance management settings

Dougle_07 t1_j1d6llx wrote

80% is the threshold for Apple to recommend a battery. That’s when messages like this generally start appearing.

FknBretto t1_j1djn4i wrote

When Apple recommends a new battery and when performance decreases due to battery% aren’t the same at all. I’ve had devices in the 60%s before it started to impact performance.

18

Dougle_07 t1_j1dnqkl wrote

I didn’t say they were. I said what the official threshold was and when messages like this will generally start to appear. Under 80% is expected and generally means the battery is behaving/degrading as expected over time. Above 80% is unexpected behavior and means something is wrong.

17

Shadowfalx t1_j1dtm27 wrote

What does this message say?

I'm pretty sure it says that performance was affected. Thus, you are arguing with yourself. You are saying Apple gives these messages when the phones performance is affected by decreased battery capacity at 80%, yet that battery capacity isn't affected until less than 80%.

−6

Dougle_07 t1_j1dusrf wrote

Again no. I said that generally these messages start appearing at/below 80%. The alternative, seeing this message above 80% is indicative of an unexpected hardware failure. In OP’s case, that distinction would be important in how serious to take this message.

Shadowfalx t1_j1dvws7 wrote

You're wrong. These shouldn't occur at 80%. Apple recommends replacement at 80%, that doesn't mean the battery is unable to provide the necessary amperage at 80%.

You are doubling down because you don't want to be wrong, it's okay to be wrong.

Gloriathewitch t1_j1lkbl5 wrote

You realize batteries can fail in ways other than capacity, yeah?

The amount the battery holds (capacity) Is not the same as current.

One is how much it can hold, one is how much power it can supply per second until the capacity is depleted.

Anything from heat, cold, or chemical failure in the battery can cause this kind of issue, you can have over 100% batt health and the battery can still be a lemon if it drops cells or electrolytes cause expansion.

EndlessWondersWisps t1_j1djttx wrote

The Mini has a much smaller battery. So for simplicity’s sake, if you use both for the same workload, the Mini will need to be charged more often to last as long as the Pro. More charging=more wear

I've had a 12 mini for 2 years and I'm at 88 battery health. I thought the 13 mini is supposed to have a larger battery? Must all be down to usage I guess.

I absolutely love the mini iPhones. Wish they had not discontinued them. I plan holding onto mine for as long as possible. Will likely get a battery change from Apple once the health dips below 60.

I use my phone a good amount. I also have a 13 pro but it’s my work device so I only try to use it for work things. I use about 125-150% of my mini 13 battery per day so likely have a higher cycle count than other folks do

RyRyShredder t1_j1dcxn1 wrote

Yeah mine is at 73% and still says it is delivering peak performance. It does say I should replace it in the battery health menu, but I have never had a pop up message like this. Apple recommending replacement at 80% is just to get more money out of people.

FknBretto t1_j1dks70 wrote

It’s not only a bit of a cash grab; it’s very wasteful and harmful to the environment.

For reference I replaced my daily 8+’s battery 3 years ago and I’m at 76% with no degradation in performance (aside from the “new OS, who dis?” features designed for the newest hardware). Lithium batteries aren’t an annual replacement item and we shouldn’t test them like that

What does "no degradation in performance mean", cause mine is at 80% and the battery lasts like an hour if I use my phone.

Wild_Asparagus t1_j1dci1t wrote

Nah. Battery health is a measure of overall capacity relative to new. The battery could be 92% capable of holding a charge, but chemically degraded in a way that it cannot output the same peak voltage or amperage.

The phone momentarily ramps up and demands full power, the battery can’t deliver, the system crashes and reboots. After reboot, performance management is applied to prevent the CPU from exceeding the battery’s current maximum output capability.

Your battery is fucked. Check your battery health, if it’s under 80% then it needs to be replaced for optimal performance. Also this could be caused in combination of the battery health being low and cold temperature. I had a 13 Pro Max with 97% health do this because I used it in the Canadian cold.

ihooper05 t1_j1fl6du wrote

Yep that makes sense. Personally, if I had this problem and couldn’t replace the battery, I’d put it on low power mode from the second I unplug it until it dies. And don’t leave it in a cold car. This should help until you get a battery replacement or until you get a new phone. With my old iPhone 7 that I mentioned before, I used this method and it worked great

Your battery is aging, and likely needs to be replaced. When batteries get old, they are unable to deliver as much power when the phone is running intensive apps or doing something strenuous. Now your phone is slowing itself down so it won’t need to deliver as much power. You’ll notice your phone is slower now, and I’d recommend replacing the battery.
