r/iPhone13ProMax

So, a few weeks back, I accidentally broke my front display. Even though the phone was still working, it kept stuttering and the charging port was super worn out, so I was really depending on MagSafe to charge it.

The battery was severely depleted, lasting only five hours on a single charge, leaving only 74% of its original capacity. Replacing the battery, screen, and charging port would’ve cost me more than getting a second hand 13pm.Besides, I’m not getting aftermarket replacement parts because I bricked my iPhone XR doing that 7 years ago.

So, I decided to bite the bullet and get a 17 PM. I still love my old phone and will definitely keep using it, but I reckon five years is a good time to think about getting a new one.

Hi everyone,

I need some help with my issue. It started when my phone’s battery got drained, then it went into an infinite boot loop. I tried doing a hard restart but it was still the same. Then I tried using Apple devices to auto-update the software and restore factory settings, but it got stuck on the loading screen and showed an error on the Apple device. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Hey everyone,

My iPhone 13 Pro Max recently got the dreaded green screen flickering issue, and the battery health was also pretty low. Since I plan on upgrading to a newer model in an year or two, I didn't want to shell out official Apple prices for the repairs. I decided to take it to a third-party shop to get both the screen and battery replaced.

After getting it back, I'm seeing the "Unknown Part" messages in my settings for both components (as shown in the picture).

I've thoroughly tested the phone: Face ID, True Tone, and touch responsiveness across the entire screen are all working perfectly fine. The only real annoyance is the warning text in the settings menu.

For those of you who have gone the third-party route:

Are any of you actively using your phone with these "Unknown Part" warnings?

Have you run into any issues while software updates and all? , or does it just continue to work fine despite the notifications?

Would love to hear about your experiences!

I’ve been using my Sierra Blue 256gb 13 pro max since launch and the only problem I’ve had is the bottom charger not working. It stopped working around 5 years ago and since then I’ve just been using a mag safe charger. I would have upgraded years ago but the newer iPhones don’t have a SIM card tray and I like to switch between my other phones whenever I feel like it. It still holds up strong with an 83% battery life. I might have to just use this thing until the wheels fall off unfortunately.

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max that is working perfectly fine. Only issue is I have a busted camera lense and a scratched camera. Has anyone replaced the camera in one and what were the actual issues? I have no issues with taking things apart, replacing components, soldering etc. probably not worth putting a new camera in but has anyone done a used camera module? And will iOS 26 actually let you install it?

I am going to upgrade eventually, just trying to get a little more time out of this one before I upgrade.

Upgraded from iPhone 13 PM to iPhone Air 6 months ago. AMA.

For the past couple of days, my iPhone 13 Pro Max hasn't been turning off the screen until I press the side lock button. I don't know what happened. This isn't an Always-On Display issue; however, I wanted to check whether it really is an Always-On Display issue or not. But I couldn't find the Always-On Display option on my phone, which is a bit strange.

Please help me out.

Will iOS 26.5.2 bring any improvements for our iPhone 13 Pro Max?
I think mine is about to die. ☹️

ive been using an iphone air and have been enjoying it, but i feel like i havent really gained anything (aside from the drop in weight which i was pretty used to anyways)

on my 13pm; the speakers were better, the screen was bigger, the battery was way better even at 86%, im not noticing any actually improvement in terms of fluidity etc

dont get me wrong, the air is cool. i also tried a base 17 and 17 pro max. but i really regret selling my 13 pro max because i was gaslit by ai marketing hype (which still sucks, i got the ios 27 DB 2 and siri is still stupid to the point of not working at least half the time, or giving answers way dumber than gemini)

i spent hundreds of dollars after selling my 13pm for this air and its like i just pissed money down the drain and am actually kinda worse off for it

My battery is almost finished, and I am looking to change it to a new one.

For thise of you that have changed your batteries, how many of you have changed it at an official service with a certified part, and how many have changed at a independent service shop with a non original or original part.

Need to hear some experiences and maybe some advice.

Thanks

Planning to go for battery change for my phone and wanted to check if I need to backup the data before the swapping?

Does removing battery cause any data loss?
Thanks!

okay so my battery was 96%. i then decided to go on tiktok and use it. suddenly it went off??? i decided to power it on and saw that it was only 13%???

then i powered it off, then turned it on again after a minute (it was still charging) and suddenly its 91%?

im so confused. is anyone experiencing the same thing? btw battery health is 71%
