Hello Apple team and community,
I’m reporting a critical issue affecting iPhone 13 (128 GB) on iOS 26 Public Beta 3.
Problem Summary:
• Device stays stuck at 1% battery, even while charging
• Battery Health shows 0% in Settings
• Phone reboots every 5 minutes while unplugged
• Only works when connected to power
• Cannot update, charge properly, or maintain uptime
Additional Context:
• The issue appeared immediately after installing iOS 26 beta 3
• Affected devices often have a replaced battery (even official or high-quality replacements)
• Seems to be a software validation bug related to battery firmware
• Reported by many users across Reddit, Apple Forums, and Twitter — but not listed in Known Issues
What Has Been Tried:
• Recovery Mode / Safe charging / Clean install (same version) – no effect
• Third-party repair tools (ReiBoot, 3uTools) — partial workaround
• Jailbreak with Nugget or iCleaner to disable crash daemons – temporarily helps
• Apple Support suggested full device replacement (!)
⸻
Request:
Please investigate and acknowledge this issue. This bug renders devices unusable for users with legitimate battery replacements — we need a fix in an upcoming beta.

Updated iPhone to 26 beta 2, everything is ok but battery, battery is changed, not original. My phone can't charge higher than 1% and turns off every 5 minutes, even connecting to wireless charger and cable at the same time don't work, restored iPhone thru iTunes.I hope I will be able to install new beta without any problems because loving the new design, hoping for the best. Thanks.
