How to Fix iPhone Battery Sudden Drops

If your iPhone battery is suddenly dropping, you will need to fix it by recalibrating your iPhone battery.

iPhone batteries will lose health over time, so older iPhones will not show an accurate percentage.

Once you recalibrate it, it should fix the read-out of your battery percentage.

On newer iPhones, iPhone 11, 12, and 13, this process should be automatic. You can see it under the iPhone battery menu. Access this menu under settings and plug in your iPhone to charge.

Step 1: Drain your iPhone battery until your iPhone dies.

Step 2: Plug in your iPhone and turn it off to charge it. Do this overnight for a full charge.

Step 3: Turn on iPhone and force reset with volume up, volume down, and hold the power button.

Once the iPhone is turned on again, the calibration is complete.

Good info. I just replaced the battery on my 2020 SE because it was down to 80% after 2-1/2 years. I would have tried that first, if I had known.

This is the best recalibration process I’ve used so far for my M1 iPad Pro 11 inch (2021)!

[youkaihenshu]

The option for older iPhones is an official apple procedure ? Can you share it please ?

[yhwuvlh]

But if your phone doesn’t go up to 0% it just die suddenly what will you need to do? Just follow the same procedures?

About every couple of months or so, my iPhone 13 battery rapidly discharges while on standby. For example: From 9 AM yesterday to 1PM today, with regular use (texting and internet search), it went from 85% down to 65%. That's a mere 20% drop in 28 hours while in use. Then, while on standby with NO use, it rapidly fell to zero around 5PM! So, in the course of just 4 short hours, in standby mode only, 65% of the battery power was consumed!

The phone store recommended a complete reset which I was unwilling to jump through the hoops. So what could be the cause, and why does this happen once in a great while? For what it's worth, every time it's the exact same issue. The battery graph shows a steep straight line drop down to zero.

[fplynlb]

I got a new battery for my iPhone 8+ 2w ago and battery still goes up and down

[henglay]

If my phone have a maximum capacity of 56% does it mean if it charged higher than that percentage does my maximum capacity go down

[SandeepKumar-ffge]
