well, using about an hour a day solely on WhatsApp, no social media, no streaming/gaming, no calls, charge once every 3-4 days, using stock cable charger and adapter, charge above 20% and plug out before 95%, never once overcharge... cant think of anything else that could possibly cause the battery health drop, 1 year use still drop to 90%, oh wells

I think changing battery nowadays are easier, I changed my iphone batt in 2019 at machines the curve, waited 3 hours (sent in at 11am, ready at 2pm) on a weekday.. the guy told me could be faster but its their lunch time

yeap, can't afford to not have our phone for days just to get a battery replacement I reckon its better to go on weekdays/midweek, skip the crowd..

Haha I’m not sure if anyone’s phone get below 80% during this 1 year use to entitle the free replacement, seems like the lowest we see here is 82 or 84%,

bet it’s risky to exert the battery during last month before warranty expires, worry if exert it and stop at 81% then it backfires

Yeap definitely the 12 series drop much faster than any other models in the past

mini is selling fairly well ill be surprised though if they discontinue it next year

Yes the camera focus is an issue on the 12 series, but so far never heard of anyone successfully claimed a replacement via warranty, apple claim that this could be fix via a firmware update, but no need to date not everyone get this problem though, my wife’s one used to have but mine is lucky..

Can’t confirm if it affect other models coz both my devices were pro max as well and it’s sad that AASP just brush you off asking to use manual zoom…I remember seeing some quick fix on this issue, will look up and share if I found anything helpful..

it's hard to test out like this, I'm sure most pro max display unit in AASP wouldn't have such issue as well.. its not affecting 100% of the pro max unit, and that's the issue

I think since even AASP has no fix for this issue, your best bet would be googling for a fix, or a temporary one at least.. I will share if I come across any useful methods

If too close like without 3-5cm (or even more) then it will be blur, not the lens issue but it has been always like that, only the iphone 13 pro/pro max has macro shot which can capture up to 2cm without blurring the images..

Then could really be affected with the issue, since iPhone 5/7/12 auto focus all should be the same, and you would know if it’s obvious..

doubt it'll ever make it here, knowing the fact that we're always the last to get anything good from apple

anyway im not sure if i'll DIY it...rather just let AASP do it for me while i relax for few hours

Can elaborate what’s the issue with calendar after updating to ios15? Mine seems normal..

yea theres a policy for any iphones that you can't replace the battery while it has an active warranty, that warranty is for you to get a free replacement should its battery drop below 80% hence they only allow new battery replacement after the 1 year expires..

sometimes a reboot might fix issues like these..

Yes the black dot is under warranty as manufacturer defect. but make sure its not dust trapped under screen protector..

Yeap, hope they replace you another unit than repairing it by opening up tbe display panel to see what's underneath.. but either way it's good to get it removed..

no, the free replacement only given to those battery health below 80% within warranty period...

Should be rm380 for 12pro/PM…

You are definitely not the only one…it’s a common thing for iPhone 12 lineups….in fact 90% after a year is consider not the worse..we have members here reported around 83-85% after 12 months
