iPhone SE 2020 Battery Display Refreshes Frequently

I have had my SE2 for about three years now. Just today, I've noticed that the battery icon in the top right corner of the screen will disappear for a second before reappearing. It has been doing this continuously for about ten minutes.


I have had the same battery since I bought the phone about three years ago. Does anyone know why my battery display is doing this? Is it a feature? Does it mean that something is wrong with my battery?

If this is the same battery since you bought your iPhone three years ago, it's likely that you are overdue for a battery replacement.


Check your Battery Health by going to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and Charging. The percent is likely below 80%, which is the recommended threshold to replace your iPhone battery. Visit your nearest Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider for a battery replacement.
