iPhone 13 Pro: Diagnosing microphone problem, where are mics located.

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 16:10:25 -0700

I bought my iPhone 13 Pro back in 2022, year after release. Recently, whenever I’m talking on speakerphone during a call, the audio sounds very bad and sometimes cut out. I used voice memos app to try to find out which mic it was, the one at the top or the one on the bottom of the phone; it sounded fine through the one on bottom, but super quite and glitchy through the top when I recorded myself talking.

Where is the mic located at the top of the phone? Is it connected to the LiDAR and camera and speaker, or are those all on different connected/cables? How hard is the repair job to replace the mic?

Also, the battery is at 84 % health, should I wait a bit longer to replace, or should I just do it while I have the phone open?

Thanks for the help

Update 3/9 need help still

iPhone 13 Pro: Trilobe Y000 screw stripped

Using the ifix kit, got 2 of the 3 trilobe Y000 screws out that hold the battery connector cover in place. They have loctite which for some reason was much stronger on the screw directly next to the battery connector. The screw got completely stripped. What is my best course of action?

So basically yes, I forgot to attach battery connector cover after battery replacement. is it critical? should i disassemble and put it back. I don't really want to disassemble it again. I already attached adhesive and don't have another one.

iPhone 13 Pro: How can I fix my iPhone’s Bluetooth?

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 02:02:01 -0700

When I use any of my AirPods with my iPhone I get random interference. It doesn’t matter which AirPods I am using. The interference sounds like a weird computer noise and whatever I’m listening to (podcast or phone call) is completely garbled. If I’m on a phone call the other person hears the sound too. The problem is with the phone and not my AirPods (this has been investigated and the problem continues even with a brand new pair of AirPods. )

iPhone 13 Pro: I need to repair my screen, if I get a non original but compatible?

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 17:44:08 -0700

I have an iPhone 13 Pro and wanted to change my screen while keeping Face ID and functionalities. I understood this process I possible with iOS 18. My question is: do I have to get a refurbished original screen or a soft oled compatible will work? Do i have to put the cable that I detach from the top of the screen (the adhesive part I don’t know the name of it) and put it in the new screen or I would still need a refurbished/ original part? Do you know any stores in Europe that sell those parts (if possible compatible soft oled or OEM)?

iPhone 13 Pro: Screen replacement glitchy, have to tap multiple times for response

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 18:14:24 -0700

I replaced my iPhone screen with the "Aftermarket Soft OLED".

Tap to wake doesn't work unless I just turned the phone off.
Touching the screen for scrolling or pressing buttons also delayed if I haven't touched it for more than 10 seconds.

Things tried:

Looked at ifixit's FAQ, and tried shutting the phone down for 6 hours for a completed reboot. Still no change.

iPhone 13 Pro: Why doesn’t my phone have service?

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 12:00:39 -0700

I’ve been having this problem, for about a week and a half, where most of the time my phone has no service and randomly it would have service. The time it would have service, it feels like half the day it would last. I have not had this problem before and I’ve been going only to work and back home. I’ve had the phone for roughly four years at this point as well as kept it updated.

iPhone 13 Pro: After battery replacement the FaceID and front camera stopped working

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 14:00:13 -0700

The camera-app can't switch to the front camera anymore, and FaceID doesn't recognize me anymore (it does not give an error, but it won't recognize me anymore).

Everything else works fine, and i'm pretty sure that everything is connected correctly.

Back camera works fine.

Any idea what could be wrong?

iPhone 13 Pro: Reset/crashing but not panic.full

Wed, 21 May 2025 19:46:05 -0700

So my iphone 13 pro recently has begin to trigger reset events. I cannot seem to figure out exactly what is causing it.

It happens upon attempts to use the phone and the only weird issue that has remained constant is the battery level will show 5-15% after the crash when before it will show 50-100%.

The most resent crash the phone was on the charger and was 90%+ when it crashed and came back up showing 10%.

I plugged it in and in minutes the charge showed 80% again.

after searching for fixes i checked the accessibility files for panic.full files as suggested for others. My phone does not have any files with that tag but i fid see a string of RESET files with time stamps from the occurrences.

Hoping someone here can help decipher the issue and offer some help towards a fix.

This is a low battery log that also corresponds with time of crashes.

Sorry its so long!!

iPhone 13 Pro: NFC not working after flash/akku replacement.

Sat, 03 May 2025 10:42:15 -0700

Hey, I hope someone else here has an idea, as I no longer have any solutions.

Tldr:
Backglass replaced - flash broken - nfc working
flash and akku replaced - nfc not working
charging coil replaced - nfc still not working

What happened and what did I do?

I dropped my Iphone Pro 13 and the glass back broke. I replaced the back and broke the flash in the process. The phone worked perfectly at the time, just not the flash.

1. so I ordered a flash and if you have the phone open anyway, I also ordered a battery at the same time.

2. then I replaced the battery and the flash. Everything works perfectly except that now no NFC things like Apple Pay etc. work.

3. after long research I found 2 problem areas. The NFC antenna is in the charging coil. And the “antenna” is also part of the flash. Both components were involved in my repair.

4. charging coil bought new and inserted. Everything works except NFC.

Now I'm stumped and don't know what to do. I have not noticed any damage. Adjusting the flash module several times has not helped either. Should I buy a new flash module and try again? Or am I missing something else?

Many thanks for any helpful answers.

Hey! I recently got some stripped pentalobe screws on my iPhone 13 Pro and I was wanting to take them out. Since they're stripped, they're really really hard to get out and I saw on some places on the Internet that a grinding pen would work. If that would work, what's a good grinding pen for the job? I have no idea what to look for and what's a good one or what's a bad one. If someone can help me out here, that would be great!

iPhone 13 Pro: Cameras not working after changing battery.

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 14:11:42 -0700

Hello guys,

I have a problem with my iPhone 13 Pro.

I successfully (more or less) swapped my battery with a new one bought on iFixit.

After reconnecting the battery, screen, etc., I noticed that my main cameras are not working at all, I can only see black screen in camera app, and any other app that uses camera. selfie camera worked for cca 10 minutes, and then it stopped as well. After a reboot, selfie camera works again, but main cameras do not.

Flashlight does not work as well.

Face ID works normally.

Any ideas? I was very careful not to damage anything while changing the battery, everything went smooth actually.

Thank you everyone on suggestions.

iPhone 13 Pro: iPhone 13 pro battery replacement

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 02:17:00 -0700

I bought the anti-clamp and iphone 13 pro fix it kit to replace my battery on my iphone 13 pro.

I cannot get an initial gap to appear at the bottom of the display after following these directions:

iPhone 13 Pro Battery Replacement

After removing the pentalope screws at the bottom of the iPhone, I tried the following process for 2 hours:

Heat the bottom of the iPhone with a hair dryer for 90 seconds, quarter turn the anti-clamp to increase the suction each time, wait for a minute to see if a gap appears but it never did.

There must be a step that isn’t in the instructions.

Specifically, what to do when the following step does not result in an opening gap at the bottom of the display other than try again:

“Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.”

I am trying this repair myself because the apple store refused to replace my battery as the top right corner (metal part not the screen) has a few more scratches than they are comfortable with.
