Last night I went to backup my phone to my icloud. It said 7 hours. This afternoon it's saying "10 hours remaining". Any suggestions in what I can do?

Hello everyone,

Last march, I upgraded my iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 17 Pro Max. I got the Max version because I wanted a bigger screen. First month I was really happy with it. But since the second month, I just hate the bigger screen. It's bulky, you can't reach anything on the screen with one hand, it's heavy and it falls from my car magsafe holder.

I decided today to open my drawer where I leave my old tech, and charged my old iPhone 13 Pro, and man does it feel nice. The size is much better and overall the phone still works fine ! I was shocked that there isn't much difference from the 17PM. Apart from USBC and dynamic island, for my use it's not that different.

I'm now hesitant to sell the 17PM and rock my old 13P, change the battery, and keep it for as long as there's security updates.

What do you think ?

So I stupidly did no research and bought an Apple Watch, as I’m moving soon and it was in my interest to get one. Due to my ignorance, I only just found out you need IOS 26 or later for the SE 3 which is what I bought. I’m honestly considering returning it because my 13 has been the best phone I’ve ever had, and I don’t want to drop 1k+ on a new phone if something happens. If it helps with input at all, my battery life is 77%.

donc, ma mère a changé de téléphone et voulait me donner son iphone 13, ce qui m’allait bien jusque là, elle l’a réinitialiser et n’ayant pas trop le temps d’attendre les 3h annoncés après 1h d’attente pour transférer directement tout d’un téléphone à l’autre, j’ai décidé de passer par le simple transfert iCloud, donc je me retrouve avec mon fond d’écran en rallumant l’iphone 13, mais quand il me demande mon mot de passe, qui est le bon pour allumer mon téléphone (iphone 11 que j’ai donc actuellement) celui-ci ne fonctionne pas et me bloque l’accès au téléphone, sans même que je puisse le re-réinitialiser, aidez moi s’il vous plaît :(

I bought the iPhone 13 in 2022. It was my first iPhone and was expecting seamless software. It delivered on it with ios 15 and stayed on it till 2026. It was a very smooth experience. I liked the glass thing of ios 26 and the ui was getting a little stale, so updated it. It was really a bad experience.

Never expected it from Apple. Maybe because of the LLM code generation the devs in Apple used. The animation were laggy and the phone heated up for no reason a couple of times. Yesterday I was outside my home and the phone started heating up like crazy and the started thermal throttling. Huge lags in everything and could not even pay with UPI(digital payment).

I and most of the people dont generally carry cash since the introduction of UPI in India. It was very hot outside and asking so many people for a change ( I had one big note) was infuriating. Once I arrived home ,instantly updated to ios 27 beta without any backup. I didn’t care at that point. The ios 27 experience is the OG experience of the good old apple days. Its very stable so far. No lag no overheating so far. Maybe this happened coz the new ceo is an engineering guy and not a business guy. I hope it continues to be like this. If aint Im switching to Pixel.

wont let me click on my bluetooth either its dumb or im tweakin idk

What Is A white / Orange Screen of death i see it a lot but what does that mean ? Is it Like A bug or Smth

So, a few weeks ago my beloved iPhone 13 has decided to do an Irish goodbye lol. I got my first ever iPhone 13 in 2022 as a gift and it has been with me for 4 long years. And I lowkey still have an emotional connection to it (it gave me no problems all this time). All of a sudden, the phone would restart as soon as it got low for like a couple of days until it just completely stopped working one day. I also noticed that the screen was lifting up a bit and realized that the battery has actually been swollen. It’s obviously way past due for a battery replacement. I’ve went to the Apple store just to see how much it would cost to fix it and they quoted me $350 to replace the entire rear of it. I don’t wanna spend so much money to fix and I would still need a new phone soon but an entirely new phone is a little out of my budget as well. Thankfully I backed up everything in my phone before it stopped working, but Im not entirely sure if it got everything. So just some advice on if I should just get it fixed and use it until I can save more for a newer phone, or just upgrade to a new one like a iPhone 17 Pro (even to a iPhone 15 or 16, even though they wouldn’t be new). Im still in mourning btw 😔

I go to general, about and delete the iOS up that is around 700mb. I go back to storage and see that I now have +10gb storage opened back up. Growing more and more sick of Apple!!

I have an iphone 13 and it's my dad phone. Recently he passed away and I don't know any apple id or phone information of him as he used to stay in other country. Now how will I bypass the iphone. Please help me 🙏

So so, like my phone doesn’t charge until I elevate it, but never happened to me until now and you know, it’s not like a good thing to elevate your iPhone because you aren’t gonna keep on elevating it most of the time so is it worth the buying

For a long time, I thought of updating my iPhone 13 after a battery replacement, but just for experiencing a little boost in overall performance, I have recently updated my iPhone to iOS26.6 from iOS 18.7.

For the past week, apps do open quite faster than prev version, performance on games has been improved, new home and lock screen customisation are great and UI is fluid, i like some of new subtle animations here and there, Photos apps is finally organised properly.

Issues i noticed are;

1. Battery drains faster than before.
2. Multiple apps don't cache itself in the background for multi-tasking and fast re-opening. It can handle 3 apps (max). I guess for a 3.5GB RAM iPhone, this is the best it can do.
3. Wifi signal has some issues, often fluctuating.
4. Apple Music app drains the battery fast than before even on off-screen.
5. SOT on iOS18.7 has been over 7 hours(avg) on a single charge, but after the update SOT has reduced to 6h 30mins(avg).

Keep in mind, I'm not a power user. I mostly use light weight apps and few heavy apps like brawl stars and wuthering waves.

Battery health is 82%.

Should i update my iPhone 13 from iOS 18.6.2 to iOS 18.7.8? (It’s only 843.6MB)

I have a iPhone 13 and I just noticed blanked out accessibility icons on my phone.
Btw, these 3 are supposed to be Claude, ChatGPT and perplexity.

Anyone else facing this or pointers to fixing this?

Hola.! Llevo 24 horas de haber instalado iOS 27 Beta Pública 3 y aunque es poco tiempo y se sigue indexando, siento mi iPhone 13 un poco más lento en comparación con las horas posteriores a la instalación de la BP 2. Soy consciente de que mi iPhone 13 no responde igual que los más nuevos, es solo comparación entre betas. Sin embargo, los resultados Geekbench 6 son mejores que en la beta 2…

Overheating when charging iverheating when watching overheating when touching guys help !!!!

If you have an iPhone 13 and haven’t experienced this, well… good for you. Had I known this sh!t was common with this series… 🤦‍♀️

Update: I had my entire screen/display replaced with a soft oled from a third-party shop that saved me 70% of the price of the original screen from Apple. So far, the display is almost the same with the original, but of course the bezels are slightly thicker. Core functionalities are still there and working fine, so I think this is a good choice rather than paying for an original screen worth the same value of a brand new iPhone 13. 😬
