iPhone XS Battery Health

I recently purchased a 256GB iPhone XS on the 4th of December. Is having a 98% maximum capacity normal for the XS this early?

It is happening with my iPhone xs too. I bought it on 20 Nov 2018, after 2 weeks its battery health indicated 99%, 3 weeks --> 98% and last week it showed 97%. I contacted to apple support but they just kept sending some articles about battery on their website, not really helpful because I have tried all of such tips.

You might check it again when you have more than a 50% charge. The test is not exact and that may be quite normal.

Hello, as of now, my battery health is at 97% since I posted my question. To me, it seems that my phone’s battery health has been degrading by 1% every month.
