swollen battery or what?
Hi everyone. I have an iPhone 11, and I'm really worried about it and the data on it.
A few days ago, my phone started acting strangely. First, it randomly ended a call and all my contacts disappeared until I restarted the phone. After that, it started shutting down randomly. Eventually, it would only stay on while connected to a charger.
Now, it won't boot properly at all. When I plug it in, it just shows the Apple logo, turns off, then shows the Apple logo again in an endless loop. It never reaches the lock screen anymore.
Another important detail is that the screen is lifting away from the body of the phone, especially near the top, so I'm worried that the battery might be swollen.
I have two questions:
- If this is a swollen battery or another hardware issue, is it dangerous to wait 2–3 days before taking it to a repair shop?
- Are my photos and data likely still safe if they were not backed up to iCloud or a computer?
I do not want to restore or erase the phone because preserving my photos and data is my top priority. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
(I didn't get it fixed yet because I have exams)
edit: I also remember the storage full message popping up, so what is it
