Common iPhone 13 issues we check at inspection
- Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. Common on Super Retina XDR displays.
- Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. Expected for a 2021 device.
- Cosmetic damage to Ceramic Shield front glass. The Ceramic Shield, while durable, can still develop micro-scratches or chips, especially around the edges.
- Face ID malfunctions. The TrueDepth camera system for Face ID can be sensitive to damage or dust, leading to intermittent or complete failure.
- Charging port issues. Lint accumulation or wear on the Lightning port can cause charging or data transfer problems.
- Water damage indicators tripped. Despite IP68 rating, internal liquid contact indicators may trip, often not visible externally but can cause internal corrosion.
