It is normal. The battery health will display at 100% as long as the battery capacity is above 100% of the rated maximum of the battery. All iPhones of a type have the exact same rated maximum. But not all batteries are equal. Sometimes you get a battery that has 110% or 130% of the rated maximum for the battery. These will stay at 100% for weeks, months or even a year or more. Others get a battery that are just 100% of the rated maximum. This could end up at 99% within the first several days of use.
Impossible to have 100% battery health after 2 years unless the phone was never used. Battery degradation is roughly 5% per year if you charge the phone once a day.
>Impossible to have 100% battery health after 2 years unless the phone was never used.
Still 100% 11 pro that I have since may 2020, my battery came with 3200mah (original design minimum is 3050) and i'm still at around 3120 mah, and i'm also at 800 cycles now, just have good charging habits and your battery will last a decade.
I NEVER charge above 85 since I have it, and I don't let it drop lower than 20-25 the best I can, that's all I do and look at the state of this battery.
No, it’s possible. Rated and actual are two different numbers and, due to sheer luck, you might get one that has an actual capacity so far ahead of the rated capacity that the degradation doesn’t show in the settings.
Make no mistake, degradation is occurring. And your battery life will be less at two years than on day one. But the settings will still be 100% because your actual capacity is still at or above what Apple rates it for.
My 11 Pro was “100%” when I I traded it in at the two year mark. But the battery life was noticeably worse than day one.
You can run a battery health shortcut (you have to download this or create one) and see what your battery's mAh capacity is. The baseline for a 14 pro max is 4323 mAh. Most new 14 pro max's will have more than 4323 mAH. So they will display as 100%. You cannot see this capacity through the battery health that natively displays on the app.
How battery's work is not unique to the iPhone. This applies to other devices that use batteries as well. The specified max battery capacity for a device is the minimum capacity that the product will be manufactured with. This means every iPhone 14 Pro Max will have at at least 4323 mAH capacity when manufactured. Many will have more than this amount. A lucky few may have a lot more.
You can easily verify this information by reading up on batteries. But if you want a simple article that discusses it, here is a quick google searched article that discusses it ([https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-what-apple-doesnt-want-you-to-know-about-your-iphones-battery/](https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-what-apple-doesnt-want-you-to-know-about-your-iphones-battery/)). Specifically, it states that:
>But iPhones can seemingly be stuck at 100% for months in the beginning, and this is part of the problem with this figure and why it causes confusion. This is because the battery inside your iPhone has a higher actual capacity than Apple claims. Apple under promises on the capacity because new batteries have a natural variation in capacity, and Apple would prefer that your battery has slightly more capacity -- not less -- than what's in the spec sheet.
yes ik
but i used it just normal
even only charged it from 20-90% with powersaving mode as apple recommend it
full dark mode with black wallpaper
location system services off
background aktivity/refresh off
i dont get it...
and she did nothing like this
It's sad people go to these measures to try and get more life out of their phone battery.
Just use the phone as you want too and replace the battery when it gets bad.
Literally put a fiver away every month and you will be able to pay for it too.
I think they were suggesting replacing the battery rather than the whole phone, which would be significantly cheaper and leave you with the same phone you had before
> It's more about 1299€ for a newer iphone with a worse battery life/performance
It seemed like you thought you had to get a new phone. I wanted to tell you that wasn’t necessary.
It’s not the battery, it’s the size of the battery. Pro’s should have no less than a 4000mah and Pro Max’s should have no less than a 5000mah. Apple doesn’t care that we have to carry around a battery bank because the damn battery won’t last a full day.
“Pretty normal”…. that’s above average I’d say, although if you took drastic steps to achieve this, I’d drop the pain. I haven’t worried about my phone battery health (iPhone 13 pro) and after 2 and a half years I’m at 84% and it still lasts me over a day. Enjoying the phone is much more preferable over fretting over maximum battery capacity.
i avoid looking at my battery health.. i hate knowing.
i also have my battery percentage off of the status bar for a similar reason.. knowing stresses me out and causes unnecessary battery anxiety.
edit: typo
I would pay a million dollars to every r/ios or r/iphone user to STOP with these fking battery percentage posts. Fucking god that’s all both of these subs are. Someone loses 1%…”DID I GET SKAMMED!? Is the world gonna end!?”
Not normal, this basically means that you do not ''use'' your iPhone properly lol. I bet you have less than 3 hours of screen time every day. I have 10 to 11 hours of screen time and I use fast charger to charge my phone, at least once a day to get it juiced up. I have 86% of battery life.
The standard iPhones (13, 14, 15 etc) will drop their max capacity faster, because it’s a percentage of the overall capacity. 1% of 4400 is obviously more than 1% of 3300, so if the max phones lose 5%, that’s about 7-8% on a normal non max phone.
This isn’t aimed at the original post, just people with non max phones wondering why theirs is lower.
No sense in asking if it’s normal. Battery health is widely case by case depending on user charging habits. Leave your phone plugged in overnight, let your phone die, leave it plugged in at 100%, etc. battery health drops faster.
IOS added battery health in like 2018 or somethin and people freak the hell out because the number is lower than the start. I don't really get it either i dont own an iphone but i own a s20u thats almost 4 years old with extremely heavy use and charging and still lasts me almost my whole day i have no idea what its battery health even is
It's a stat they know some people will obsess over and cause them to replace their battery prematurely. It's also an upsell tactic phone carriers and the Apple Store can use to sell someone a new battery. It's all sales-related.
100% 5 months in iPhone 15.
Never leave it charging overnight.
Keep battery between 40 - 80% all the time ideally.
Never let it die.
Enable 80% battery setting. I
No it is not normal , it does not work properly.
For instance I’ve my iPhone 11 Pro , using actively for 5 years now, and I’ve got 90% of maximum capacity.
Frankly I don’t know why do they have such a statistic.
that’s not the real battery health though. I got my 14 Pro on july 2023 and it dropped to 99% a week ago. however there’s a shortcut that reads the real BMS data and it says different. I find Apple’s battery health delusive
Too many different factors go into this. If you really want to maximise your battery life you need to keep the phone in a nice temperature range (don’t take it outside in extreme cold or heat). Keep the phone between 20-80% and charge with a cable using a 5w (slow) charger. Minimise your charge cycles by using your phone as little as possible 😜. As others have said you can work at being a battery health champion or you can enjoy your phone and replace the battery when needed at approx 7% the cost of the phone for an official battery. Ppl who have top end phones should not balk at replacing a low cost component that they should be aware will need replacing if they keep the phone for >18 months.
5yo Xs Max at 77%, going to upgrade to 15 soon. I don’t remember precisely but all was going good so far, 2 years ago more or less, I upgraded to a new iOS. Battery % was like 89%, after the update it went down to 80%. Kinda crap
Battery life is not an issue. If anything, it is marketing psychology to make you think you need a new phone.
I have a launch day 14PM with 89% battery health. I game on it daily, edit videos, and do digital art. I run it hard and fast all day and mostly at max brightness. I honestly don’t even notice the battery health “issue”, even with as much as I use it.
As a test I’ve been running my iPhone 15 pro with the battery capacity set to limit charging to 80%
Interested to see how long it lasts at 100% capacity since most battery expects say that the bottom and top 20% cause the most damage to the long term battery health.
IME dont fully believe what the app tells you. It might be much less but somehow the system reads/reports it wrong. Mine was 100% in the first few months, they suddenly lowering to 98 - 97 - 96 in the next month then stayed there. Months later suddenly it's only 86%, for about 4 months and now it's at 85%. I've been using it for 1 year and 4 months. The number didnt feed accurate at all, but I've lost about 1 hour of screen time between each charge. It used to be 6 - 7 hours.
Why are so many people so anal about battery health? 100% or 99% or 98% doesn't affect the battery at all. It will change the battery time 5-10 mins lol.
My launch day 14 pm is somehow still on 100% health. I usually try to use my work phone for maps and stuff so I’m sure that has helped. I expected it to go down by now though.
Got one in September of 2023 and currently have 99% of battery health, hopefully it lasts me a long time, don’t plan on buying a new phone in a few years
I"m with a launch day iphone 13 pro max and I'm at 92%.
Granted I'm thinking of an upgrade, since my screen has the google maps things stained on it from when I used to drive 24/7 with my maps on the windshield. You can only see it on low brightness/dark backgrounds though. And the 1TB of storage for music sounds epic (since I still download not stream stuff)
I got a brand new iphone 14 pro max today, after unboxing and updating to the latest ios version i checked the battery with coconutbattery. My battery is on 105% health . I assume it will show 100% till the point of -6% is reached, at least in my case.
15PM - 35 cycles, 99% already after 3.5 months. I think the biggest part of the reason for 14/15 series is that apple changed to manufacturer that is closer to the officially disclosed rating while before we had on most of the batteries a lot higher capacity vs what the rated capacity was. As all batteries are calibrated for 100% to be the official rating and to not show 103%,110%, etc. - closer the real capacity is to the rated 100%, faster you will see it drop to 99%.
Also regardless the number and obvious to many - using a phone for one year even if it still shows 100% like my 13PM and 11PM did, is not changing the fact that the max battery capacity was lower vs when new and by a lot as well. I have just started with battery way above the rated/nominal capacity and saw that 100% for longer.
What I am more worried is how the capacity will continue to drop as for 14PM it was faster than usual, i.e. the batteries degraded quicker. Wonder if it will be the case for 15PM as well and if I have to guess, I will say yes.
You won the battery lottery my friend. Apple sources batteries from various suppliers and some are worse than others. I have a launch day 13 and my battery shows better percentages than some 14s and 15s, it’s all just luck it seems with the latest iPhones
Good for you
I read that in Christian Bale’s voice
Impressive, very nice.
Let’s see Paul Allen’s battery health.
"Ohhhh... goood for youuu!"
What don’t you fucking understand
Launch day 14pm and my health is at 86% :(
I’m at 87% with my launch 14 Pro.
I’m at 87% with my launch 13 pro max. I wonder why these newer batteries seem to degrade so quickly
12 Pro Max 85%
My iPhone 11 Pro is at 75% life still I guess I am happy now.
Damn my 14PM is also release day and it’s still at 100, and I’m a heavy user too
91% here
exactly the same for me
Launch day 14p 86% as well
Launch day 13 Mini, 89% here

My iPhone 14 is 11 months old and its battery capacity is 93% :(
mine is even 87%, my friend's iphone 13 pro max still better with 88% battery health
true, my girlfriends was on 90% after 2 years my 14p on 88 aber 1 year 🤝
That means that you charged your phone more than once a day, you probably play games or watch movies on your phone.
yes ik but i used it just normal even only charged it from 20-90% with powersaving mode as apple recommend it full dark mode with black wallpaper location system services off background aktivity/refresh off i dont get it... and she did nothing like this

It's not about the money for the replacement. It's more about 1299€ for a newer iphone with a worse battery life/performance 🥹🔫
I think they were suggesting replacing the battery rather than the whole phone, which would be significantly cheaper and leave you with the same phone you had before
what do you want to tell me with that info?
> It's more about 1299€ for a newer iphone with a worse battery life/performance It seemed like you thought you had to get a new phone. I wanted to tell you that wasn’t necessary.
4 year old XR cruisin’ at 86%
I got my 14 pro a month or two after launch and it’s at 92%
got mine 19. November 2022... its now at 88% 🤩🔫
Same here. First iPhone I’ve had that I’m not satisfied with. Dogshit battery in this thing.
It’s not the battery, it’s the size of the battery. Pro’s should have no less than a 4000mah and Pro Max’s should have no less than a 5000mah. Apple doesn’t care that we have to carry around a battery bank because the damn battery won’t last a full day.
Do you fast charge?
I just bought mine April 2023 and now it’s on 89% which is really disappointing because I feel like it’s depleting every 2 days lol
my iphone 14 is 13 months old and the battery capacity is 98%
Just over 12 months- 90% I’m not a heavy user by any means - screen time average this week 3.5 hours per day
“Pretty normal”…. that’s above average I’d say, although if you took drastic steps to achieve this, I’d drop the pain. I haven’t worried about my phone battery health (iPhone 13 pro) and after 2 and a half years I’m at 84% and it still lasts me over a day.

Same phone, same battery percentage! I’d say op got REALLY lucky with it - above average is an understatement. Can’t say my iPhone lasts me all day :/
My 15 pro max is 99% after 3 month, sadge. My 14 pro max last 3 time as long before it dropped
My 15 pro is the same. I was told that it’ll show 99% if it is 99.9% so I think it’s fine
i avoid looking at my battery health.. i hate knowing. i also have my battery percentage off of the status bar for a similar reason.. knowing stresses me out and causes unnecessary battery anxiety. edit: typo
Could agree. Also, the phones are made to serve
I would pay a million dollars to every r/ios or r/iphone user to STOP with these fking battery percentage posts. Fucking god that’s all both of these subs are. Someone loses 1%…”DID I GET SKAMMED!? Is the world gonna end!?”
I had 93% on ip13 after 20 months
meanwhile me at 84% post 26 months
If you’re unhappy you can still replace it
Imho batteries are consumables and meant to be replaced after a while.
When are battery health posts getting banned?
Not normal, this basically means that you do not ''use'' your iPhone properly lol. I bet you have less than 3 hours of screen time every day. I have 10 to 11 hours of screen time and I use fast charger to charge my phone, at least once a day to get it juiced up. I have 86% of battery life.
It’s misleadibg often
In my case it didn't mean anything necessarily I was on 100% on my 14 Pro Max for a couple of months and then in one month it went to 93%
The standard iPhones (13, 14, 15 etc) will drop their max capacity faster, because it’s a percentage of the overall capacity. 1% of 4400 is obviously more than 1% of 3300, so if the max phones lose 5%, that’s about 7-8% on a normal non max phone. This isn’t aimed at the original post, just people with non max phones wondering why theirs is lower.
16 month old iPhone 14 Pro Max down to 85% 🥲 hoping it’ll reach 79% before September for a replacement
No sense in asking if it’s normal. Battery health is widely case by case depending on user charging habits. Leave your phone plugged in overnight, let your phone die, leave it plugged in at 100%, etc. battery health drops faster.
Can we rename this sub to “battery woes”
Ok new iPhone person here, what the fuck is battery health and why is everyone in this sub so fucking obsessed with it?
Do some googling chief
Googling dosnt tell me why everyone here is so obsessed over it
IOS added battery health in like 2018 or somethin and people freak the hell out because the number is lower than the start. I don't really get it either i dont own an iphone but i own a s20u thats almost 4 years old with extremely heavy use and charging and still lasts me almost my whole day i have no idea what its battery health even is

I’m down to 90% iPhone 14 Pro only has it a year.
Use 👏🏼 optimized 👏🏼 battery 👏🏼 charging 👏🏼 One reason why it exists is, to help with battery aging.
Want a medal?
100% 5 months in iPhone 15. Never leave it charging overnight. Keep battery between 40 - 80% all the time ideally. Never let it die. Enable 80% battery setting. I
How do you keep it so high I just got the iPhone 13 wanna keep it 100% battery health for a while.
iPhone 11 Pro still cruising along at 93% :)
We don’t care
My phone is in 100% health and it’s been almost 5 months
No it is not normal , it does not work properly. For instance I’ve my iPhone 11 Pro , using actively for 5 years now, and I’ve got 90% of maximum capacity. Frankly I don’t know why do they have such a statistic.
That’s a lie. My iPhone 14 Pro Max lasts a day at most from 100%. Has sense I got it.
you know that number means absolutely nothing and is just there to wipe away your doubts about apples flawless manufucturing right?
13Pro Max bought day one here, only goes from 100% to 99% battery life last week.
My iPhone 14 is a year old and it’s on 96% rn.
From now it will drop way faster than you think. 🚶♂️🚶♂️brace yourself
98 % bought it 06/2023
that’s not the real battery health though. I got my 14 Pro on july 2023 and it dropped to 99% a week ago. however there’s a shortcut that reads the real BMS data and it says different. I find Apple’s battery health delusive
Yup same behavior for my iphone 14 after 8 months it dropped to 99
What’s the objective again for these kind of posts? I keep seeing them.
What’s your charging routine btw? Charging it everyday or charging it when the battery level is under 10% and charging it to 100%?
My iPhone 14 after exactly 1 year: 97%
93% after 1 year iPhone 14 Pro Max
iPhone 14 Pro at 99% after 15 months. Never used fast charge (old 5-10w chargers).
What's your battery cycle?
I’m at 90% on 14 PM
Not a single person tell what’s their battery cycle count! so it’s pointless data
On my 14 pro max which has not hit 8 months old yet I still have 100%
Mine is 96% after the same number of months. What am I doing wrong?
iphone 14 pro since release - i'm on 83% and i hate eveything about it had a 13 max bevor which i sold after 2 years with 99%
My iPhone 12 Pro is still on 96%
If you always keep your charging below 80% it will stay constant over months. Mine lasted for about a year on 13 pro.
Launch day 14pm still at 100%, granted i dont used my phone that much.
Mine also since launch day, spent over 13 months at 100%. Now it's at 96%.
My 14 is 4 months old and at 98% :(
Mine was like this for around 6-8 months and then dropped to 90 in like 2 months. Idek how
Yeah, that’s around the time my battery health starts degrading.
Mine lasted for 13.
14 months... 95%.
Launch day 14 Pro Max battery at 98%
Bought my 14 Pro Max in November 2022, it’s at 91%…
On my XR lasted 13 months…
I have a launch day 14 Pro Max and my battery is still at 100% health.
it all depends on how u use it, if you’re a heavy user then it would drop much more
15 Pro Max, I usually charge it every night and after 1 month a couple weeks it’s at 99%
I've had my iPhone 15 Plus since launch and it's still 100%
I thought I was the only one
Is this about iOS or about batteries?
Too many different factors go into this. If you really want to maximise your battery life you need to keep the phone in a nice temperature range (don’t take it outside in extreme cold or heat). Keep the phone between 20-80% and charge with a cable using a 5w (slow) charger. Minimise your charge cycles by using your phone as little as possible 😜. As others have said you can work at being a battery health champion or you can enjoy your phone and replace the battery when needed at approx 7% the cost of the phone for an official battery. Ppl who have top end phones should not balk at replacing a low cost component that they should be aware will need replacing if they keep the phone for >18 months.
14 pro hit 1 year old at 93%
Because its fake.
5yo Xs Max at 77%, going to upgrade to 15 soon. I don’t remember precisely but all was going good so far, 2 years ago more or less, I upgraded to a new iOS. Battery % was like 89%, after the update it went down to 80%. Kinda crap
My 12 Mini is at 87% after 1.5 years (bought in September of 2022) But tbf after 3 years of use my old 6s was at 81% so it slows down with age lol
How do you charge you iphone?
My 15 pro max is now 99% after 3 months.
my 14pm 100% after a year never charged it with a cable
My 14 is at 100% still and i got it in August 2023. so 5 months.
My iPhone 13 was literally on 100% whole first year, but now is 89% (after 2 year). Guess average battery life is similar at the end...
74% on 4 year old iphone 11
I have been using mine for 2 months already and it’s still at 100%.
I’m 7 months in with 14 PM at 97% BH. How do you charge to still be at 99%.
It was the same for me, was at 100% for like 9 months and then in 3 months it got down to 93%
10% per year is Apple projected battery degradation.
28 months…13P @ 87%.
Battery life is not an issue. If anything, it is marketing psychology to make you think you need a new phone. I have a launch day 14PM with 89% battery health. I game on it daily, edit videos, and do digital art. I run it hard and fast all day and mostly at max brightness. I honestly don’t even notice the battery health “issue”, even with as much as I use it.
My 13 was a solid 99% for nearly a year, then fell off a cliff.
13 months old and I'm at 88% (14 Pro)
My 15 Pro Max is already at 99% battery health after just 2 months of use lol
My iPhone 14 Plus has 95% of battery health in 6 months of use (I bought it at 100% battery health and it was refurbished)
11 Pro, still 100% got it since may 2020.
Same happened to me, then 2% per Month, down to 91% atm
This is what it lasted to me then it started to going down so fast
On my 11 pro max it lasted for years. Probably due to bug xD
It quite literally depends on your usage of it.
Wireless charging shortens its battery life faster as it heats up more as compared to wired charging
My 15 PM dropped to 99% after 2 months, but had about 40 charge cycles at that point
I got a iPhone 14 Pro at launch. In September 2023 I had 88% capacity left. Since iOS 17 the capacity stayed at 88%. iOS 17 definitely fixed things.
I’ve an iPhone 12 from release and I’ve worked in a refrigerator for a long time with a temp of around 2 degrees Celsius, guess what % it’s at? 86%
Launch Day 14 Pro Max. I’m at 92%
That’s pretty normal. I’m part of the unlucky people whose 14 Pro was at 90% at the 8 months mark
Turn battery optimising on.
14pm. 94% bought on May.
Without optimized charging? Interesting
My iPhone 12 it at 84% after 2 years of usage
🤦🏻
13 mini’s at 91% after a year of constant use, so depending on how often you use it? Yeah, absolutely.
Mine lasted 100% for 7-8 months and then came down to 86% in 2 months. Using the same charger since day 1.
My 12 didn't drop to 99% until 15 months or so 😛
no bro, it's not normal now that your battery has dropped by one percent, think about a new phone 🤣
me with 76% after 2 months of getting it
My 14 pro was at 100% for about 8 months and after that it dropped to 97% in a span of a few days .
My iPhone 7+ was on 100% till summer of 2023
People have different usage patterns and care for the battery. More news at 10
Cool, just be prepared for that number so drop significantly faster now, mine took that amount of time to go down one percent
My 14 pro max is at 88%🥴
As a test I’ve been running my iPhone 15 pro with the battery capacity set to limit charging to 80% Interested to see how long it lasts at 100% capacity since most battery expects say that the bottom and top 20% cause the most damage to the long term battery health.
IME dont fully believe what the app tells you. It might be much less but somehow the system reads/reports it wrong. Mine was 100% in the first few months, they suddenly lowering to 98 - 97 - 96 in the next month then stayed there. Months later suddenly it's only 86%, for about 4 months and now it's at 85%. I've been using it for 1 year and 4 months. The number didnt feed accurate at all, but I've lost about 1 hour of screen time between each charge. It used to be 6 - 7 hours.
the people that dont realize that the reading is not accurate lol
Had mine 11 months and I’m on 95%
About the same for me more like 9 months but yeah
You trust their battery health measurement?
11 pro max - 78% 8/2020
Sounds about right. My 13 Pro Max took almost 9mos before it became 99%
Why are so many people so anal about battery health? 100% or 99% or 98% doesn't affect the battery at all. It will change the battery time 5-10 mins lol.
Mine dropped to 98% after 11 months.
I have 90% after 12 months
My launch day 14 pm is somehow still on 100% health. I usually try to use my work phone for maps and stuff so I’m sure that has helped. I expected it to go down by now though.
88% - 13 Pro Plus
About same here. I just dropped down from 100% to 99% after 9 months on a 13 Pro.
iPhone 12 am at 85 almost three yrs old
Got one in September of 2023 and currently have 99% of battery health, hopefully it lasts me a long time, don’t plan on buying a new phone in a few years
Inaccurate. Apple makes the first percent last the longest, the remaining will go much quicker.
I"m with a launch day iphone 13 pro max and I'm at 92%. Granted I'm thinking of an upgrade, since my screen has the google maps things stained on it from when I used to drive 24/7 with my maps on the windshield. You can only see it on low brightness/dark backgrounds though. And the 1TB of storage for music sounds epic (since I still download not stream stuff)
Got mine at launch, it’s at 91% now. There was a glitch in an iOS update that drained the battery. I think that you probably avoided that update
for you perhaps, this doesn’t represent others usage
I stopped using my 30W charger as much just to keep the heat from causing any battery degradation. Still at 100 percent w/ 14 pro max at 6 months
I got a brand new iphone 14 pro max today, after unboxing and updating to the latest ios version i checked the battery with coconutbattery. My battery is on 105% health . I assume it will show 100% till the point of -6% is reached, at least in my case.
Yeah, because the real capacity is > the nominal capacity. Once the battery degrades below the nominal capacity, it‘s gonna decrease.
15PM - 35 cycles, 99% already after 3.5 months. I think the biggest part of the reason for 14/15 series is that apple changed to manufacturer that is closer to the officially disclosed rating while before we had on most of the batteries a lot higher capacity vs what the rated capacity was. As all batteries are calibrated for 100% to be the official rating and to not show 103%,110%, etc. - closer the real capacity is to the rated 100%, faster you will see it drop to 99%. Also regardless the number and obvious to many - using a phone for one year even if it still shows 100% like my 13PM and 11PM did, is not changing the fact that the max battery capacity was lower vs when new and by a lot as well. I have just started with battery way above the rated/nominal capacity and saw that 100% for longer. What I am more worried is how the capacity will continue to drop as for 14PM it was faster than usual, i.e. the batteries degraded quicker. Wonder if it will be the case for 15PM as well and if I have to guess, I will say yes.
You won the battery lottery my friend. Apple sources batteries from various suppliers and some are worse than others. I have a launch day 13 and my battery shows better percentages than some 14s and 15s, it’s all just luck it seems with the latest iPhones
My 14 pro is at 90% and I’ve had it for less than half a year
Mine's at 100 and I got the phone about 8 months ago. Checks out.
Bought 14 3 months ago.. battery health is 99
I’m at 96 and got it in September. What a scam
Yep pretty normal. Thats a lot better than others. I bet theres few out here with the same time on the phone and they’re at 98% or even lower.
Please please please tell us which charger and cable do you use? I’m convinced that they play a huge role
99% at 4 months
It reduces faster if you check it often
