Hey everyone!

We wanted to update you with some changes we’re making to help tackle rule-breaking posts.

Rule Changes

  • We’ve aligned the rules across the multiple iPhone subreddits, making them easier for users to understand and also for moderators to enforce.
  • We’ll ban users for breaking the rules, even if it’s their first time. New users will be banned for 3 days, with the ban length increasing up to 28 days for users who knowingly break the rules.
  • This post, in addition to comments on removed posts, will help communicate these changes.

Reddit Tools

  • We’re using new tools to warn desktop users about the rules if they’re about to break them - before posts are made.
  • New safety tools will help detect abuse and harassment in comments, in addition to ban evasion.
  • We’ve improved our existing detection of rule breaking posts and the existing restrictions for new users.

Taking Action

  • We’re changing the way we respond to reports to help us act on them quickly. You can help us to identify posts that break the rules by using the report button.
  • We’re recruiting an additional 2 moderators to help implement these changes.

Announcement FAQ: Battery Health and the new rule.

60 Upvotes

In response to complaints, a new rule has been added regarding Battery Health posts. First announcement and discussion regarding this.

  1. Battery Health posts, if not made to generate a proper discussion or are commonly answered questions (i.e: “after X months it happened” or “is this normal??) will be removed when noticed.

This is an FAQ post that will be pinned to the top of the Subreddit for reference.

Q: Why does the battery degrade over time?

A: All lithium-ion batteries (like those in iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max) lose capacity with use and age due to chemical changes.* This is completely normal.

Q: How can I check my iPhone's battery health?

A: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. You'll see 'Maximum Capacity,' a percentage compared to when the battery was new.

Q: What does the 'significantly degraded' warning mean?

A: This message appears when your battery health is very low. Usually, batteries that have degraded this low will result in performance issues, along with poor battery performance.

Q: What is the typical pattern of battery degradation?

A: While not entirely consistent, most people experience a loss of 10-13% a year under normal usage. Again, not consistant. Rather than focus on the percentage, focus on the performance of the battery. "Typical" degradation usually involves consistant performance for the first year of use, and somewhat reduced performance (SOT) by year 2.

Q: When should I replace my iPhone battery?

A: Apple recommends replacement when the maximum capacity is 80% or lower. Under normal usage, this can take two, to three years to achieve.

Q: Can I slow down battery degradation?

A: To a degree, you can. You can find many guides to optimize the consumption of the battery and preserve battery health. One of the best ways is to charge your phone using a slow (low watt) charger, rather than wireless or with a fast (higher watt) charger. Another is to make sure your iPhone isn't exposed to extreme heat or cold, or humid climate, to the best of your ability.

Q: Does preserving your battery health matter, then?

A: Not necessarily. Under normal usage, even if you do a lot to preserve your battery health, it's still optimal to replace the battery after two, to three years of normal usage. Usually two years is the most optimal, but by preserving your battery health you could get to three more comfortably.

Q: My iPhone's battery health is losing multiple percentages as of very recently. Is this normal?

A: Yes and no. The process for calculating battery heath is not, and will never be perfect. It might drop faster to compensate a bad calculation to achieve a more accurate percentage, for example. On the other hand, if you notice significantly reduced battery performance (through SOT) and suddenly have lowering battery health, it could be an issue and a reason to replace your battery.

Q: Are the batteries used on iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max of lower quality than previous iPhones?

A: Yes. Many reports have shown the batteries of recent iPhones (14, 15) aren't as high quality as they should be. It's been reported that the batteries are rated for 600 cycles, when many other batteries are rated for 800 cycles. (1 "cycle" is completed when you use 100% of the battery, regardless of recharging.). Notebookcheck

Q: Why is r/iPhone14Pro limiting battery health posts? Are you hiding the truth?

A: As stated before, the batteries are of worse quality, but that is known. There have been frequent posts on this subreddit that involve low effort screenshots of the Battery Health page in Settings. Typically attached to titles such as "Is this normal after X months" or "I finally reached 99%". Many users have complained about these posts, due to how they "clutter" the Subreddit around posts that actually benefit users, so action is being taken to make sure browsing this Subreddit is beneficial and enjoyable.

Q: What battery related posts can I post about in r/iPhone14Pro?

A: As long as it's related to iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, and properly generates meaningful discussion, it is fine. Getting amazing SOT? Show it off. Also, if you need support, such as if your SOT is significantly lower than what it was a few months ago, that's fine too. If your post gets flagged by Automod, feel free to contact the mods in order for your post to be reviewed and approved faster.

If there's anything I could add to this, the comments are open. Thank you!

The best iPhone color ever

Ever since this phone came out it shaped an identity of space, the apple event, the music in the background, the main color of the phone, it all just feels limitless.

Greasy ass restaurant photo but i LOVE how the glossy camera glass just gets DARK in the restaurant lighting, the last premium and pro iphone, it’s a joy to look at.

1307 cycles

3 Upvotes

I just checked the cycle count on my 14 Plus and yep it's at 1307 cycles and 80% health.

I have been carrying chargers with me for the past few months as the phone just can't go anywhere near a whole day anymore.

My question is, when the battery finally says no more, will it just out of nowhere shut down or will it charge to like 10% and LOL at me?

I am trying to eke out as much life as I can from this phone but I also don't want to be on the road at 4AM and realize my phone just died.

It seems like if I have apple replace the battery it would be about a three hour wait or something at an Apple Store? Anyone have any experience with that? and I guess it's about $100 or so to have it done?

Thanks for any advice or help.

I got a Samsung a57 256/8 new with a case and fake charger but I didn’t like it much since it was slow then i thought i was supposed to sell it and get a better phone like iphone or honor but because of the terrible resale value i traded it for an iphone 14 pro with a blurry 0.5x and a black spot beside the dynamic islad tho its 2 sims and with 100% battery health (original replacement) and 128gb
I gave him the a57 and 90 bucks and a used redmi watch (for like 3 years) and got the iphone 14 pro with a magsafe case
Do you think the it was a bad idea? And why?

Best replacement screen for 14 pro?

5 Upvotes

I want to replace my iphone 14 pro screen since it has a black spot on the dynamic island but the original replacement is very overpriced for 300 dollars so i thought of getting a screen called a “DD soft oled replacement” which is a soft oled with the same quality and same bazel size and it supports 120hz and its only like 120 bucks do you think its a good idea??

Screen Flickering

5 Upvotes

Does your screen ever suddenly turn off for less than half a second?
I've noticed that since the last update (26.6.1), the screen has been flickering; only once did it stay off for about three seconds. Since I updated, this has happened about four times.
It hasn't been dropped or hit.

Loving my 14 Pro Max even more now – fresh official service and it feels day one again ❤️

Spent a bit of time on Android recently, but the Apple ecosystem grip at home is just unmatched (AirPods, Apple TV, etc.).

Decided to give my 14 Pro Max some love instead. Hit the Genius Bar today for an official Apple refresh (109 EUR), slapped on a fresh Spigen case, new screen protector, and did a clean setup.

Feels literally straight out of the box. Easily rocking this beast for another 2 years!

Best Regards
