Signs your iPhone 12 battery needs replacing

  • The battery drains quickly on cellular data but holds up better on Wi-Fi
  • It won't make it through a day even with 5G set to 5G Auto
  • The phone shuts off suddenly when the battery is cold or low
  • Maximum Capacity in Battery Health & Charging is well below where it started
  • It warms up and charges slowly on a MagSafe charger

If the battery looks swollen, the screen or back is lifting, or the phone gets hot, stop using and charging it. Don't press on it or try to open it, and call the store.

What to know about the iPhone 12

Try 5G Auto first
The iPhone 12 was the first 5G iPhone. With 5G Auto on (Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data), the phone switches to LTE when 5G wouldn't be noticeably better, which saves battery. If it still dies early with 5G Auto on, the battery itself is the likely cause.
Check Battery Health & Charging
Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging shows Maximum Capacity and the Peak Performance Capability message. Apple designs iPhone 14 and earlier batteries to keep 80 percent of their original capacity at 500 full charge cycles under ideal conditions.
MagSafe works the same after the repair
MagSafe charging lives in the back of the phone and isn't part of the battery. Once the new battery is in, a MagSafe charger works the way it did before.

Before you bring it in

Show the 4 steps
  1. Back up first while the phone still has charge: Settings > your name > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back Up Now, on Wi-Fi. A computer backup works too.

  2. Have your passcode ready. You'll want it to unlock the phone and look at Battery Health once the new battery is in.

  3. Note what Battery Health shows now (Maximum Capacity and the Peak Performance Capability message) and when the drain or shutdowns started. It helps us see the whole picture.

  4. If the battery looks swollen or the screen is lifting, don't charge it on the way. Call the store first.
