When your phone’s charge shows 1%, while you are stressed that “it’s over, it’s going to end”, that 1% phrase never leaves you. Considering that iPhones are one of the leading brands in the smartphone industry, such a situation may be strange for users.
Let’s take a look at whether this is a good feature or an indication that something is wrong, which is sometimes frustrating and sometimes useful.
Your phone tries to save energy.
In fact, if you’ve noticed, you don’t often encounter this issue when you first get your iPhone. When your usage increases, that’s when it starts to get stuck at 1%. While there are several reasons for this, the first is that your phone automatically switches to energy saving when the charge reaches 1%.
As such, the last 1% of the battery can last longer because your phone turns off some features and consumes lower levels of energy.
The software may be measuring incorrectly.
The algorithm Apple developed to scan the hardware and show the details to the software can be measured incorrectly. Your phone’s software thinks the charge is dead, but some charge remains in the battery. This glitch may also be intentionally added to prevent your iPhone from consuming all its battery capacity.
The battery has calibration problems over time.
As your phone battery ages, it may face calibration issues. In this case, the percentage on the battery is not displayed correctly and is stuck at 1%. Also, if there is a problem with the charger, your phone may also be stuck at as low as 1%.
It may be caused by software problems.
As you know, iPhones force us to do software updates. If you are using an old software version and you are experiencing the problem that your battery is stuck at 1%, maybe you can prevent this problem by updating.
