Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does below 80% battery health mean and which applications are appropriate?
A: Battery health below 80% indicates the battery holds less than 80% of its original factory capacity. While this reduces untethered runtime, it does not affect device performance, functionality, or reliability when connected to power. This inventory is ideal for fixed-location applications including point-of-sale terminals with cradle charging, digital signage with constant power, inventory stations with dock charging, customer service kiosks, reception desk displays, and any scenario where devices maintain continuous charging connection. For mobile field operations requiring all-day battery life without charging access, standard battery health inventory would be recommended instead.
Q: Does below-80% battery affect device performance or processing speed?
A: No. Battery health does not impact processor performance, application speed, camera quality, display brightness, or any functional capabilities. The A15 Bionic chip delivers identical flagship performance regardless of battery capacity. When connected to power, devices operate at full performance without any limitations or throttling. The only impact is reduced runtime during untethered mobile use, which is irrelevant for continuously powered fixed-location deployments.
Q: Can these devices be used for mobile field operations?
A: While technically functional for mobile use, these devices are specifically selected and priced for fixed-location deployments with continuous charging. For mobile field operations, delivery services, field technicians, or sales representatives requiring all-day untethered battery life, we recommend standard battery health inventory which provides 8-12 hours of active use between charges. The below-80% battery inventory provides substantial cost savings specifically for applications where charging limitations are not relevant.
Q: What is the warranty coverage for below-80% battery inventory?
A: All units include comprehensive 6-month wholesale warranty covering functional defects and hardware failures including display, cameras, Face ID, buttons, speakers, microphones, charging port, and wireless connectivity. Battery performance itself is sold as-is given the disclosed below-80% capacity, but battery functionality (ability to charge and hold charge) is covered under warranty. Technical support provides troubleshooting assistance and replacement processing for warranty-eligible functional issues. Extended warranty options are available for enterprise deployments.
Q: Does the iPhone 13 support current iOS versions and future updates?
A: Yes, the iPhone 13 fully supports iOS 18 (current version as of 2025) and will receive iOS updates through at least iOS 20 based on Apple's typical 5-6 year support lifecycle. This ensures security compliance, feature currency, and compatibility with modern business applications throughout extended deployment cycles. Apple's commitment to long-term iOS support makes even 2021 devices viable for enterprise deployments well into the late 2020s, providing exceptional total cost of ownership for fixed-location applications.
