Why won't my iPhone 4 hold a charge?
I have an older iphone 4 with no sim card, as i now have a 4s. It hasn't been turned on in a few months, but i decided to charge it and use it. It has been plugged in for about 30 minutes now, and it still only shows the charging thunderbolt on a black screen…
Is it broken?
Any suggestions?
Is it just that low on battery?
It has an old battery, so you should probably get is replaced.
I'm 100% sure but I do know with my iPhone the longer it's been dead the longer it takes to have a charge but i don't know if it should be that long. Are you sure your charger isn't broken? Haha last time my charger was broken and I was trying to charge it for 40 min.
When it's been off for that length of time and with the battery totally dead, it takes a lot longer to even begin to charge. It may take Nother hour or even two before you see it's retaining the charge.
With it being off so long it will take a long time to recharge. Let it charge over night. The next morning it should be not bad but use it till its dead then recharge it fully again and it will be fine.
Leaving a phone battery completely dead for "months" is not good for the battery. I'm guessing that it will never be the same but charge it a long time and then see.
You can recycle your old phones or ipods on apple's site and they will give you store credit for it, so at least you will get something back for it.

- Why won't my iPhone 5s hold a charge? I know it's not my cable or the port that s screwed up, I plug my charger in and it shows the white screen with the apple logo. But that s all it does, it goes from black screen to white screen perpetually, until I take the charger out in which case it won't turn on at all. What could be wrong with my iPhone?
- Iphone 7 won't charge unless I hold my phone at a certain angle? No, it's not the charger and yes I have checked for lint. I bent a paper clip and dug around in the port and only a bit came out. Is the paper clip not effective and there actually is lint in there? How could I fix this if it doesn't have to do with lint or the charger? (besides going to the apple store)
