Why is the iPhone 5?This question quite often arises in the owners of a smartphone, made by Apple. If before the occurrence of such a problem the mobile device was operated for two years and longer, then the battery is already worn out and, possibly, requires replacement. And what if the iPhone battery, which lasted for a month, is rapidly discharged? Most likely, it's the wrong settings of the smartphone. This article describes the causes of the problem and gives detailed recommendations on how to optimize the operation of the mobile device.
Why does the iPhone battery run out quickly?
If the iPhone 5 is quickly discharged, the reasons for this may be as follows:
- Power controller failed.This happens if there are sudden voltage drops when charging the phone. Such situations often arise when a smartphone is powered by electricity on the road or using mobile devices. Also, the reason for the malfunction may be the use of a larger charger.
- Damage to the battery. The reason for this can be a mechanical impact, for example, a punch or fall, voltage surges or moisture inside the iPhone.
- Using a "non-native" charger.It will be correct to use the device that the phone was equipped with. With the use of other low-quality analogs, the battery will keep less charge each time, and after a while it will completely fail.
- Violation of the rules of operation.A sudden change in ambient temperature can lead to a rapid discharge of the battery. If the iPhone, which is currently in active mode, is moved from frost to a room at room temperature, its battery may completely fail.
- Invalid smartphone settings. This is the most common reason for the rapid depletion of iPhone. A detailed solution to this problem will be given in the article below.
Why is the iPhone battery warmed?
Possible reasons for heating iPhone are:
- The charging process. When the mobile device is connected to electricity, in the battery some processes are accelerated, which can affect the temperature.
- Watching the movie or passing the game. If more than one application is running at the same time, or if a program that requires a lot of energy is active, the phone can heat up more than usual.
- Contact with moisture. Heating the battery can be a consequence of water entering the smartphone.
It should be remembered that while charging the phonewill warm up, especially if the device is still used. To panic in this case it is not necessary. But if the iPhone 5 is quickly discharged, and the battery temperature is raised during the standby period, then it is worth worrying and going to the service center.
