r/iPhoneSE

If yes, did you make the right choice?

Just changed my SE's battery since it was degraded to 75%. New battery discharging at the same rate .. I am not using it at all, no open apps, videos and flashlight running, barely touching it, not even looking at it ..

I am on iOS 26.7.1, not upgrading to 27 after reading about charging issues.

Anyone have a similar problem?

I just bought my third gen brand new for only 100 dollars I’m hoping to get at least 5 years out of it

Anyone else facing sound issues, when you plug in your phone to charge its suppose to ding. Its not anymore since ios 27. I never touched my volume. Is it a bug in ios 27? My phone is older, its iphone se 3rd generation. I wonder if it has something to do with the new alerts match ringtone feature they added in ios 27. BUT STILL, I never touched that.

UPDATE: If you toggle off and on alerts and system sounds under settings>sounds and haptics it FIXES IT. This is the only workaround. Apple wasn't clear how those toggles work, if you should have them on or off in order for the phone and sounds to work. I also noticed some of my settings under phone and facetime app got reverted. Like for instance i had the banner notification off somehow it turned back on during the update 27.0. When I updated to ios 27.01 at first it looked like they fixed the ringtone issue but then the problem came back a few days later so I guess they didnt fix it

I’ve heard a lot about fast charging being an issue with iOS 27, and since I’m thinking of updating (from iOS 26.4.1) on my SE 3, I’m wondering if the problem is on both the SE 2 and 3?

The sound goes very 'digital' sounding and garbled. Then if I restart the phone it's back to normal.

Seems to go a few weeks without issue then occur again. Each time a restart has fixed it.
