iPhone 11 Pro Max - Battery Capacity at 97%

You cannot compare the battery health of your phone against another phone. No two people use or charge their phone's exactly the same way. A 3% drop is NOTHING to be worried about. The only time you should be worried is if your phone drops to 80% or less in the first 12 months. Two weeks before your one year warranty is up, check it. Until then, stop worrying about it.

I have kept a daily record of my battery usage and charging since I started using my iPhone 11.

I am a light user and after 133 days my daily average use is 21%.

Normally charge phone to between 75-80% to not put a stress on the battery.

This equates to 26 charge cycles.

My battery health now shows 97%

This would suggest that the battery is degrading rather rapidly

I have my 2 mos old iphone 11 pro max and upon checking today, it dropped to 98% batt life percentage. Has anyone got clue why this has happened? I’ve been too careful with my new phone. Got my xs max before this and it only dropped to 98% after 7 mos which I never actually took care it’s battery

I have the same issue with my iPhone 11. Three months and battery capacity droped at 97%. My iPhone SE is three years old and still has 85%. To be fair, I haven't noticed any changes, but I'm still a little bit concerned.

I got my 11 pro max a month and 3 weeks ago and it’s already at 96% like what how is this possible. I feel like this is a issue because my brother has the regular 11 and his is still at 100% we both got the the phones on the same day. Like I’ll get it if it dropped maybe one percent but 4% I feel like it’s too much and not normal!!

It means you and your brother have different usage patterns. Yes, it's normal. There is absolutely no reason to be checking battery health unless your phone isn't working properly or you're nearing the end of your warranty. If you're near the end of your warranty, you should check to see if it's below 80%. If it is, Apple will replace it under warranty.

I don't have any thoughts on the topic. I sincerely doubt it's causing battery health to decline, but I'm not an engineer.

Personally, I don't use fast charging. I charge my iOS devices when I sleep at night, the slow way.

I have the same problem as the others, I have the equipment (iphone 11 pro max) for a month and a half and I have 97% battery.

I have a question, the other time that I tried to connect my iphone to my macbook by means of the usb cable, it connected and disconnected continuously, I tried in a thousand ways that it connected but it did not work. As a result of that, my battery condition decreased to 98% and in less than a week it decreased to 97%. Would this have damaged the battery? in another forum I read that the same thing happened to a boy and his battery was damaged. I'm worried

Your battery is not damaged, nor did connecting it to your macbook damage the battery. DO NOT Get all worked up over battery health. And the only time Apple will say you have ANY issue is if your battery health drops to 80% or less within the first 12 months. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and simply stop checking it. Or keep checking it and upset yourself over nothing. Your choice.

my iphone 11 pro, is now at 92%. on 18th april 2020, i checked my battery cycle count which is available in analytics and improvement in settings it was 132, and 93%. today i checked again it completed 142 battery cycles and battery capacity is 92%.

the support is saying, there is no issues.

That’s because there are no issues until it reaches 80%. It is expected to drop 1% for each 25 full charge cycles, so after 142 it should be about 93%. Which it is. Are you only checking when it is at full charge?

And 98% is not a problem with the battery. There is nothing wrong with your Battery Health unless it reaches 80% before 1-year of use. Stop obsessing about battery health. Don't even look at it until it seems you are having an issue with the battery staying charged, or something like that.

The same has happened to my phone. I bought my 11 pro max on 26th Feb 2020, and today when I checked my phone’s battery capacity, it is already down to 97%

It is indeed a big issue.

if we are paying extra to upgrade from max to max pro for the extra battery life and then we know the battery ageing so fast, it is a major disappointment.

Non issue. Batteries are consumables. They start to lose capacity the day they are manufactured. Your battery is warranted for one year, and is designed to remain above 80% through 500 full charge cycles. If you do the math that means it should be expected to lose about 1% of capacity for every 25 full charge cycles. It doesn’t stay at 100% for 499 full charge cycles then drop to 80% on the 500th cycle. If it goes below 80% in the first year (or 2 years if you bought AppleCare+) Apple will replace the battery under warranty. Out of warranty they will replace it for $69. Additionally, the gauge has greater precision than accuracy; it’s best to only check after you have charged the phone to 100% for the greatest accuracy.

All of this has been discussed in the thread you posted to, which is why I suggested reading it.

I had a 6s and used it for 4 years, the battery was last at 85%, my new pro max is not even an year old and is already at 95% and decreasing rapidly. I think Apple should take some kind of action when there are so many such cases.

Apple store doesn't want to admit there's an issue with it when it was in warranty period
