I had the battery in my iPhone 11. Now my phone won’t work unless it is plugged in. What do I do?

The phone worked fine when I picked it up from the repair shop. Now the screen turns black and the phone shuts down if I unplug it. When I plug it

back in, the Apple comes in the screen and a minute later my phone will work, as long as it is plugged in.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Take the phone back to the shop. Are you sure that a genuine Apple battery was installed?


See if you can find the repair shop listed using this link to verify that the shop was authorized for Apple repairs and service.
