iPhone 13 battery charging very slow

So recently I’ve had this problem of my iPhone 13’s battery slowly charging, especially overnight. When I woke up this morning it hadn’t even made it to 100% which made me upset. I’ve tried different cords and blocks but nothing seems to work. I’ve also tried restarting the phone and deleting apps, photos, and changing setting for background app refresh, bluetooth, etc. But nothing seems to be working. Although I have been using FaceTime a lot through this pandemic, could that be the problem or should I look into it more?

iPhone 13, iOS 15

Hello, this sounds like you are having a battery problem, a battery settings problem, or a charging port problem. Try using a wireless charger to eliminate the first 2. To fix the charging port you can try inserting tweezers into the port but that could damage the phone. I recommend taking it to a phone repair place (apple or non apple) and asking them to take a look at the port only, not the battery. It could also be settings. Go to settings, battery, and turn off optimism battery charging. This will tell your phone to charge to max every time plugged in instead of charging to 80 and waiting till 1 hr before it thinks you will need to to charge to max.


I hope this helped!
