Why does the Apple battery have a repair prompt? Can I continue to use it after the repair prompt appears?

It's obviously the original apple, and when I used it, there was a battery maintenance prompt. I bought a new battery and thought about the new life of the old phone, and I never thought that the Apple battery health was wrong. Why does the Apple battery have a repair prompt? Can I continue to use it after the repair prompt appears?

The main reasons for the Apple battery repair prompt are that the battery life is less than 80% and the non-original battery has been replaced

Battery life below 80%: When the battery life of the iPhone reaches less than 80%, the system will display a repair prompt. This is because the capacity and performance of the battery has been significantly reduced, which may lead to a shorter battery life and frequent charging. Users can check the maximum capacity of the battery through "Settings" - "Battery" - "Battery Health", if it is lower than 80%, it is recommended to replace the battery.

Replaced non-original battery: For models after iPhone XS, Apple has officially encrypted the battery and motherboard, and if the battery is replaced at an unofficial repair point, the system will identify the non-genuine parts and display a repair prompt. In this case, it will not affect the use of the phone, but the health of the battery cannot be displayed.

The system recognises the third-party battery: If the user replaces the third-party battery in iOS 12 or later, the system will be able to identify the non-original battery and display a repair prompt. If the battery quality is guaranteed and the use is normal, the user can continue to use it; If the battery life decreases significantly, it is recommended to replace it with a better quality battery.

Apple battery health can still continue to be used after repair, but it will affect the use experience

When iPhone battery health shows "repair" status, it means that the capacity of the battery has decreased significantly, it may need to be charged more often, and there may be unexpected shutdown. In addition, battery performance can also be degraded, such as longer app launch times and lower frame rates when swiping the screen.

The state of the battery after repair will directly affect the user experience. While repairs can restore some performance and capacity, their durability will vary depending on usage and battery status. Optimizing battery charging can help slow down battery ageing and extend battery life.

The following quote is from Apple's official website: By using diagnostics in iOS, we have detected that your iPhone's battery may need to be replaced. As the battery enters the end of its useful life, the amount of power stored by the battery and its ability to supply power decreases. When this happens, the battery may need to be charged more often, and your iPhone may also shut down unexpectedly. This isn't a safety issue, this notification just alerts you that the battery may need to be replaced. You can continue to use your iPhone until you send the battery for inspection. At the same time, you may notice these changes on your device: apps take longer to launch, frame rates decrease when scrolling, and device performance decreases in other ways.

In short, the repair prompt of Apple battery is mainly caused by battery life problems or replacement of non-original batteries, and users can choose a suitable solution according to the specific situation.

Go to an Apple authorised service provider to replace the battery : this guarantees the quality and safety of the battery, although the cost is higher, but it can enjoy the official warranty service.

Choose a third-party battery of a regular brand: If you choose a third-party battery, it is recommended to choose a reputable brand to ensure the durability and safety of the battery.

In conclusion, although the Apple battery can still be used after repair, it is recommended to replace the battery as soon as possible to ensure the best user experience and device safety.

It is expected that the official version of iOS 18.1 will be released soon, and the problems of third-party battery pop-ups, maintenance tips, and health not showing will no longer exist, and the key is to choose a regular third-party battery.
