Common Causes of iPhone Swollen Battery
A swollen iPhone battery is dangerous and can cause further damage. It usually happens due to:
- Aging lithium battery cells that expand over time
- Overcharging or constant charging overnight
- Heat exposure weakening battery chemistry
- Low quality replacement batteries from unauthorized shops
This leads to the battery pushing the screen outward, making the phone unsafe to use until repaired.
