what You are suggesting is very Apple way of saying. I’m sure everyone has done this. As my previous messages, I have done a lot of experiment with my phone and following up by the adviser, still, the result is nul.. if you could provide some more test or experiment for me to test my phone. I would be happy to hear it. But I’m pretty sure what you are suggesting would be sth I had done in the past...

OK, here's a very simple test. Restore your phone to factory settings and do not restore a backup. Do not add any features, do not log in to your Apple ID or iCloud, and don't create any email accounts. The check your battery performance. If the problem is still present your phone has a hardware problem. Here are the instructions for restoring to factory settings-->Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

I am having horrendous problems with my iPhone 7 battery. Apple had better not even think about passing about the buck on this one and blaming the 2yr old battery. It was performing perfectly well until the 12.3.1 update last week, but it now drains within 2-3hrs after only using Messenger, 20min of YouTube and 30min on Safari.

any news on a fix?

Nop jejejej that’s what I’m saying I could use my backup because it was from iOS 12.3.1 , when u do a downgrade you can’t use a backup because we u start ur phone it and you select the option “ backup from iCloud” it will automatically download the last iOS version, see, and you will lose your downgrade :(


i didn’t restore it, I just download everything again re enter to my accounts and well the only bad is that I lose all my Whats app chats :(

Well I still preferred a thousand times iPhone over Samsung, this problems happens all the time, if you think about , that’s why Iphone is always releasing small versions of iOS, this time well I was one of the millions of user that became affected by it, but for example, my dad has the exactly same iPhone the same color as me ahah xD and his phone is running perfectly fine whit iOS 12.3.1.


And although it can be a little bit tricky some time I was able to fix my iPhone all by myself by watching videos and fallow the advise of people that know way more than I do about this, I didn’t even have to take my iPhone to service with Android I think they are more complicated
