iPhone 13 battery replacement due to reported issues

Hi, i saw on TikTok that a girl had problems with her iPhone 13s battery and she went to Apple to get it replaced and they said that they have had problems with the 13s battery’s and she got it replaced for free. Does that mean that i (as a owner of a 13) can go to a certified reseller and get it replaced for free?

Don't believe everything you hear on social media.


To my knowledge, there is no free battery replacement on the iPhone 13 - I haven't heard of any specific issues with that model's battery either. If you have an Apple Care plan, you can get it replaced for free if the battery capacity is 80% or below.

I saw on TikTok that the earth is flat.


As always, take your phone to Apple for any issues you are having and they will give you the options available to you. In some cases it could be free, such as if you have AppleCare+ coverage, but no one knows for your case.

I am replying to confirm for anyone who’s wondering that yes, certain iPhone 13s face issues with their batteries and apple would fix them up for free of charge if they pass a test.


Mine went suddenly to 60% battery health last week and after taking it to an apple store they tested it they identified it as the manufacturing issue and told me they’d replace the battery free of charge.
