<title><![CDATA[iPhone 13 mini: Newly replaced iPhone battery still draining quickly with little use]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey all, successfully replaced the battery on my iPhone 13 mini yesterday because my old battery wasn't holding much charge (e.g., draining to below 50% before 9AM). Much to my dismay, my newly replaced battery followed a very similar pattern today (first full day with the new battery) - drained to ~50% by 9AM and I've had to keep charging it throughout the day. Have taken several steps to reduce background app usage/etc, but even with no apps open and limited use, the battery is draining quickly. Halp! Could this issue be fixed with &quot;calibration&quot;...? Other ideas? Thanks y'all.</p>

<p>Just for reference, here is the battery life draining today with minimal use of the phone (especially between 6-9AM).</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 13 mini: Unable to finish battery repair with Repair Assistant]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have managed to replace the battery in my iPhone 13 mini successfully. The phone seems to work fine but the &quot;Finish repair &amp; restart&quot; item is not showing up in the Settings app. It showed at first but when I tried using it it failed (something about failing to contact the server). I retried a couple more times, but the item just disappeared (nor is it available in Settings &gt; General &gt; About &gt; Parts &amp; Service History, it shows that my battery is an &quot;unknown part&quot;). I tried restarting, making sure my phone is connected to WiFi, disabling PiHole, nothing helped.</p>

<p>I hear the repair assistant is still new and very flaky, but I was wondering if I can still finish the repair. Also, is there a point in contacting Apple support about this?</p>

<p>I did a Housing swap with a wireless charging pad installed and other small parts preinstalled. Now the customer's Apple pay is not working I think it might have to do with the wireless charging pad possibly part is serialized. Has anyone else come across this issue yet?

<description><![CDATA[<p>following the directions, it appears that the sensor assembly should come out of the iPhone 13 mini attached to the screen. However, mine is stuck inside the phone, behind the bezel to which the phone is glued. Is this a slightly different phone model compared to the one in the instructions?</p>

<p><br />What exactly might have happened at board level?</p>

<p>I guess something has moved on the board.</p>

<p><br />If I use a heat gun on the board, is it possible to solve the problem, or is the board-level repair going to be more complicated?</p>

<p>my iPhone 13 Mini crashes and restarts every 3 minutes. Error log shows SMC BSC failure of type 0x1000 , which should be the proximity flex cable. However, after disconnecting it, the error continued to exist. Is this possible? Should I still change the proximity flex cable altough disconnecting it didn't result in a fix?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 13 mini: Bought a 13 mini to restore, but need help on what parts can be reused]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Long story short, I bought a phone lot that had a 12 PM and a 13 mini. I got the 12 PM unlocked and reset, however, the 13 mini was <em>supposedly</em> unlocked by the previous owner. When I reset the phone, it became <strong>activation locked.</strong> I tried contacting the owner to get it properly unlocked, <strong>but to no avail.</strong></p>

<p>Currently, the phone is running the latest version of iOS (<strong><em>18.3.1</em></strong>), and I'm curious as to what parts are salvageable, or if the phone is just now a complete paper weight.</p>

<p>Any advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated. :)</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 13 mini: Auto brightness and True Tone not working]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>True tone and auto brightness do not work on my device. As soon as you turn on automatic brightness, the brightness is set to 50 percent and does not change unless you change it manually again. True tone does not seem to make any color transition, it turns yellow when turned on, for example, the screen does not turn blue in a blue environment, it does not behave as it should. My screen is original second hand and I completed the repair with iOS 18. The sensor is part of the device itself, so I bought a new one thinking it might be defective, but there was no change. The socket on the motherboard looks clean.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 13 mini: WiFi and Bluetooth barely works - why?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>9-year-old’s iPhone 13 mini. Had a very unprofessional screen + battery replacement. Now:</p>

<ul><li>WiFi disconnects constantly (especially when gaming)</li><li>Bluetooth range/connection is terrible</li><li>Screen flickers on home screen</li></ul>

<p>Already tried the usual WiFi resets, forgetting networks, etc. – no change.</p>

<p>Questions:</p>

<ol><li>On the 13 mini, are WiFi and Bluetooth handled by the same chip or antenna flex cable?</li><li>Could a botched screen replacement (tons of leftover glue, possibly damaged flexes) cause both WiFi and BT issues?</li><li>Any specific things to check inside?</li></ol>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 13 mini: iPhone 13 mini crashing and restarting constantly]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My iphone 13 mini will crash and restart repeatedly. I can use it normally for hours or days, but when I'm having the issue the phone is barely usable for long periods of time.</p>

<p>It happens both off and on the charger. I'll be using it normally (or it will be sitting unused), and it will suddenly change to a black screen with a spinning wheel, shut off, and then reboot to my lock screen. Sometimes it will only do it once, but sometimes it will do it over and over again, for up to an hour. The phone is completely unusable while it's stuck in this cycle. It always gets extremely hot during. Charging or removing it from the charger sometimes makes a difference, but often doesn't. It sometimes makes a clicking/snapping sound when it's shutting off, similar to the haptic but louder.</p>

<p>I bought the phone brand new, and this problem started the instant the 1 year warranty ended. If it's a battery issue, I  would like to take a stab at it myself, but someone else told me that the phone getting hot is indicative of a CPU issue. If it's CPU, I won't waste time with the battery. If anyone has any idea what the problem is, please let me know! Thank you!</p>

<p>ETA: panics and strings. They don't look very legible in the preview, so please let me know if I need to edit again.</p>
