I have a problem with my i phone. Apple support have not resolved it as yet.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Please does anyone have any advice?
I am getting nowhere with Apple support.
I bought a new iPhone 11, summer 20 from the Apple shop
near me. I have the receipt which I have already sent apple as proof of
purchase.
It ran fine from August 20 December 20.
I am a prolific phone user and use my phone for
everything - Facebook, mumsnet, messenger, WhatsApp, emails, everything.
My problem with my battery dying is sporadic, it doesn't happen every day.
But other days when I work from nine till three I hardly
use it at all I my only send my husband a couple of texts.
Around Christmas time I noticed that on the days I do
work, with minimal usage, the phone was dying at about 2 pm.
I took photos, as evidence, to prove this, suddenly at 2 pm it would be
12%, 6%, or 2%.
I contacted Apple support in February 21 and I've had 30+
phone calls with them including one today.
I also took it back to the Apple Store and they run
diagnostics. Battery good. and he claimed that as far as they were concerned there was nothing
wrong with it. nothing wrong with the hardware or software.
He suggested I dimmed the brightness on my phone and
asked whether I had any background apps running behind the scenes using
battery life without my knowledge. I handed my phone and asked him to look
and turn any that I had running off. he reviewed it and said oh you hardly have
any, there are three here, shall I turn those off, which I replied yes.
He said run it will run it like this for a week and see
if it makes any difference.
I felt like I was being fobbed off and told him so. like his desperate
attempts reeked of desperation. I said to him ; you don't know what's wrong with
it do you? I said I feel like you're not offering me any proper solution, it
reeks of desperation, like a sticky plaster, you don't know what to do.
you're just suggesting I dim my brightness are you seriously suggesting that
such a minor thing would correct a major fault such as what I'm telling you I
have?
He was ice cold and said a diagnostic test show there's
nothing wrong with the hardware and nothing wrong with the software.
I feel like standing in a court of law and screaming in
frustration. apple insist there's nothing wrong with this phone. but I use it
every day and I'm telling you the phone dies in the middle of the afternoon, sometimes,
even on a day when I'm at work with minimal usage.
I feel like this phone isn't safe. I've had iPhones for 20
years. this is the first brand-new one I've bought from the shop.
I'm a diabetic I don't want my phone dying. I want to know
that it's safe and secure, so if I have a diabetic hypo I can phone my husband
or I can phone and ambulance. I don't feel safe - I know that sounds dramatic and
I'm milking it a bit.
I feel like I've got nowhere left to go because it's now
gone past work August I'm now out of warranty. I feel that they deliberately
dragged my case out for as long as possible so that on my phone is now not
in the warranty period.
I feel a stalemate because they say that there is
nothing wrong with the phone, and I insist there is.
I'm going to the Apple shop again this Friday. I have asked
for a complaint many times. this has not been activated. I have asked for a record of all my phone calls. I have emailed
apple. I've tried to get this escalated. I've tried to make complaints. I've got
nowhere.
Every time someone promises me something, they make no notes on the account,a dn then the next person denies accountability.
I feel powerless.
