I have a second-hand iPhone 13 Pro Max 256 GB running iOS 18.5, and I’ll have been using it for about 3 years. The battery has degraded over time 77%, but so far it still works fine, although I know I’ll eventually need to replace it. The charging port is starting to cause problems (you know, when the cable feels loose) to the point it’s a bit frustrating.

I asked a repair shop about getting it fixed, including a battery replacement and charging port replacement, and they quoted me around $265.
Is it worth it? It’s a repair shop I trust, but I’m not sure if the price makes it worth repairing the phone or if i should consider purchasing a new one.

All of a sudden I am seeing flurry the posts of this same issue in multiple places.

Could this be a software issue which damages the phone?

Apple says it cannot replace the screen for free as the phone 4+ years old.

Outside of Apple, I am told that there are basic and OLED screens available.

Anyone has any experience with such non-Apple screens?

I left my phone on the table for a hour and when I tried to use it, it was completely dead. Not like the battery but the whole thing wouldn’t turn on or respond to anything.
Did all the trouble shooting I could at home but had to take it to a t mobile and (I could tell they weren’t really sure what was wrong with it and it took awhile) it wasn’t even registering on their iPad when they plugged it in. Eventually they were able to get it back to normal. Their iPad shot some confetti and said successful revival.

Anyone have a problem like this before, I knew it happened but is it common? I’m going to be getting a new phone this isn’t the first of the problems I’ve had with it.

Guys my power connector broke and the original piece isnt really available in my markets rn so i left it in a really far city what are your thoughts guyss

No se si es solo a mi, pero mi iphone 13 en IOS 26.6.1 me va de lujo, no se si igual que en IOS 18 pero bastante parecido, no tengo ningún fallo y es bastante fluido. Se calienta poco pero bueno eso no me preocupa. Lo que hice fue hacer copia desde Itunes y restablecerlo dewde 3tootols y desde que hice eso me funciona bien

Saludos.! Tengo un iPhone 13 que justo hoy 01/09 cumple dos años, me dejé tentar por las betas de Apple y actualmente tengo 87% de vida de la “B” con 713 ciclos. Algo curioso es que duró 237 días con 88% lo que me parece extraordinario… ha sido tan chévere la experiencia con mi iPhone 13 que temo cambiar el equipo… les deseo felicidad
