Is my iPhone 13 dying or did I just get a bad replacement battery?
have an iPhone 13 and I’m starting to wonder if it’s time for an upgrade. Late last year, it started lagging pretty badly, so I had the battery replaced at a local electronics shop. That helped a lot at first, but over the last month or two, I’ve noticed it lagging again, even when the battery is around 50%. It gets way worse in Low Power Mode; sometimes it just completely freezes for a few seconds and I have to force close apps.
Do you think this is a battery issue or is the phone just getting old? I’ve considered trying to get the battery replaced under warranty, but I’m not even sure if the battery is the actual culprit...
Also, if I do upgrade, is the iPhone 16 and below even worth getting right now? Should I wait a few months for prices to drop further after the iPhone 18 release? iPhones are just insanely expensive here in Europe...thanks!
