As stated above, this thing has frozen about 600 times in the last week. It only started this after updating to IOS17. it also won’t hold as much of a charge. Even dropped from 100% battery health to 96%. I literally just bought the phone and had the battery replaced in June. This is pathetic.

Try a DFU restore, might help
Battery health goes down no matter what whether you update or not. I used mine 16 hours a day with screen on and apps open for 4 months on battery most of it and it still didn’t move below 100% for 3+ months.
If the battery was at 0% for any length of time it could be acting funny. Maybe they damaged your phone when replacing the battery. Fake battery (only apple store can do this for you)?
It wasn’t the update.
Battery can degrade from a number of reasons, but the main 2 reasons are extreme temperature (especially hot temperatures) and keeping the battery fully charged for a long time without discharging. But a brand new battery shouldn’t drop 4 - 5% after a software update.
Wishing I was in EU now🤦🏼♀️ I live in Ohio. The temperature here is bipolar so we get super hot and super cold. However, my phone has never been exposed to extreme heat or cold for more than stepping outside. At this point i want to switch to android because I’m sick of apples constant antics. My boyfriend has had his 11 for under a year. I want someone who claims the depletion at this rate is normal to tell me why his BH dropped from 100% to 88% in less than a year. Went from 98% to 88% in less than 6m. I know this because I had checked his BH the day i had my battery replaced 5 months ago to compare the old battery to his before it was replaced. He doesn’t let his phone die, he uses it for his blood sugar. Whatever excuses ppl want to throw around as to why this is happening are going to go in my one ear and out of my other at this point. This isn’t normal, this is just fucked up🤦🏼♀️
A lot of people, especially Apple fans and so-called mainstream tech reviewers, often do not criticize Apple or point out its flaws. The iPhone is notorious for having poor thermal cooling capabilities, the CPU often gets hot according to thermal tests. Apple doesn’t want to put a copper heatsink or other thermal cooling hardware inside their iPhones. The hot CPU can cause the battery health to degrade sooner. Some Android phones have very good cooling systems, usually a copper heat pipe, a copper vapor chamber, or thermal pads. Another problem is Apple pushing their MagSafe wireless charger, but wireless charging is known to create extreme amounts of heat which significantly lowers the battery health within a short period of time. And also, Apple was so stubborn, they kept using the Apple lightning connector all the way to the iPhone 14 until the EU forced them to switch to USB C on the iPhone 15 and beyond. The Lightning connector is not very efficient and gets hot, especially when fast charging. So there are other ways the iPhone can get exposed to extreme heat which is not good for the battery health in the long run.
I suspect that Apple may purposely decrease the battery health number after a software update, probably to make people think that their battery health is lower than it actually is. This is because I also saw my battery health drop from 95% to 88% pretty quickly after a software update which was strange.
It’s a genuine apple battery replaced by apple. Honestly thinking about switching back to android.
Do you mean that you bought it five months ago and immediately had the battery replaced? “Literally just bought the phone” doesn’t mean 5mo ago.
First of all, yes it was replaced immediately after I bought the phone BY Apple. Second, imo, a phone that is in a user’s possession for less than 6m, brand new or not, should not be acting the way this is. It freezes so bad the home button won’t do anything. Apps constantly crash when no other app is in use. Third, this isn’t just about the battery, y’all are missing the point. It’s just weird that after the update this all started happening.
was it a third party battery ?
Apple replaced it
Are you a heavy user? Like video calling and streaming content ? I have found that the SE lineup gets heavy battery drain during these 2 things.
When I upgraded to iOS 17, my se that i bought this year dropped from 100% bat to 97%
Yeah, idc what anyone says, it’s not cool.
This has happened to me before. After updating the software, battery health dropped a few percentages quickly. Not sure if Apple is trying to mess with us or not.
Otherwise, do a clean factory reset first and wait a few weeks until the operating system can optimize. If it still freezes and hangs, then it’s likely caused by the iOS 17 software, might need to wait until it gets fixed in the next update.
I have factory reset it lol.
