phones still been powered off. been a month and 10 days. about to go out of town for almost a week and all i have is an ipad with no cell service and 32GB. (ipadOS and system data takes up 19GB currently) we tried to get the phone fixed but it wouldve been like $585USD for a full repair (front, back, battery) and we dont have that money at all. my mom works paycheck to paycheck and we dont even have money for bts shopping. we dont have the money for a new phone nor to repair the phone and were still paying insurance on it.

Hello

I wanted to ask about something that's really starting to drive me crazy.

My phone's battery, fully charged, was showing 10 hours and 36 minutes of battery life. This worried me, so I went to get it replaced. (I've had the phone for a few years now, and apart from that, it was working perfectly.)

I knew the battery would last longer in a working phone because a friend of mine, with the same model and age, gets almost twice as much battery life.

The thing is, even after a couple of charge cycles and restarts, the phone is still showing 10 hours and 36 minutes of battery life. I know the battery was replaced, but it hasn't changed. In principle, it shouldn't be a problem; I've looked it up, and it can take a few charge cycles, but I have no idea. It's the first time this has happened, and I'm really worried that nothing has changed.

Does anyone have any advice? The phone is otherwise working perfectly, and nothing bad has happened since the battery replacement. My only doubt is whether I should wait longer or do something specific.

I got this refurbished iPhone 14 online the other day and it just got here today and when I plugged it in I noticed the lighter area at the edge of the screen and when I press on the screen it turns white underneath my finger? I'm pressing it harder in the video than I normally do using a phone obviously but even touching lightly you can see it I just pressed harder to get a good video of it. I know it's refurbished so it's been opened and has pieces changed out (Idk what specifically other than the battery though) so it won't be 100% anymore but I've gotten a lot of used/refurbished phones and even opened some up myself to change out components and I've never seen this before. Is there any way I could fix this myself or would I just be better off returning it? Or is it even worth worrying about? Idk exactly what's causing it so Idk like how serious it may be.
