Which iPhone do you have, how long have you had it and what’s your battery’s maximum capacity percentage?

Settings->Battery->Battery Health

My iPhone XS has dropped to 88% and it’s only 9 months old. I feel like this is an excessive drop but it’s within normal parameters for Apple’s warranty!

Oh god, guess I’m a bit of a power user then! Apparently if it drops under 80% and it’s still in warranty, Apple will replace it for free!

iPhone XS Max - 12 months old 100 %.

XS 100%....2 days old Grin

My 7 plus was 3y old and had 78%

Tbh I would take it in to an Apple store & get them to run diagnostics. I seem to remember there was an issue with battery life (I think for X) where they replaced them. I had my X replaced 3 times as the touch screen wasn't responsive in certain patches.

iPhone 8 not quite 12 months old 96%
Didn't know you could look this up or there was a warranty limit. I will get my colleagues who complain of short battery life to check theirs as we should just still be in warranty

JacquesHammer · 31/12/2019 22:28

7 plus. Almost exactly 2 years old. 91%

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 31/12/2019 22:28

DrPimplePopper · 31/12/2019 22:29

iPhone 6 98% 2 years old. That seems oddly high health though as I don't use it for much and still have to charge it twice a day!
