The battery and charging port are essential to your iPhone’s function. The battery provides the power your phone needs to operate, and the charging port serves as the gateway for power and data to enter your device. If either component fails, the entire phone’s usability can be compromised.
Battery issues affect everything from how long your phone lasts between charges to whether it can even power on at all. Over time, lithium-ion batteries degrade naturally, but extreme wear or damage accelerates this process. If ignored, battery issues can cause:
Similarly, charging port problems can cause intermittent or no charging, inability to sync your device with a computer, or even physical damage to your phone. Issues often arise due to:
A damaged charging port means you may not be able to keep your phone powered, severely limiting its usability. Addressing these problems quickly is crucial to prevent further damage and restore normal operation.
Recognising early symptoms of battery failure can save you from inconvenient phone shutdowns or worse damage. Here are common signs your iPhone battery may need replacing:
Rapid Battery Drain
If you notice your iPhone losing charge unusually fast, or if it won’t last a full day even with light use, your battery’s capacity has likely declined.
Unexpected Shutdowns
Phones that suddenly switch off despite showing remaining battery percentage indicate an unstable or degraded battery.
Slow or No Charging
When your phone takes too long to charge or doesn’t charge at all, this may be due to a failing battery or a charging port issue.
Overheating
If your iPhone becomes excessively warm during charging or use, this is a red flag for battery health.
Battery Swelling
A swollen battery is visible as a bulge beneath the screen or back casing and is a serious hazard requiring immediate replacement.
At Digi Smash, our expert technicians thoroughly check your battery’s health using advanced diagnostic tools. We replace batteries with high-quality, genuine parts to ensure your device performs optimally and safely.
