iPhone 11 Pro Max - Battery Capacity at 97%

So my iPhone 11 Pro Max is almost 2 months old and I literally bought it a week after it was released. I checked the battery capacity today and I noticed that it was at 97%. This is a bit strange because my iPhone XS Max didn’t drop to 99% even 5 months into using it.


Has anyone else also faced this issue?

There is no issue. Battery Health is an approximation, and it not exact. Unless the battery health is reading 80% at a year, there is nothing wrong with it. You may check it again in a week and it may be back to 100%. Unless you are experiencing a problem with the battery charging or working, I wouldn't even look at battery health.

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 bought the iphone 11 pro max, 2 months ago and I have same problem of this community , my phone drop from 100 to 97 % in just 2 months, I phone a friend because we bought the same iPhone on december, and he registers battery at 100%, then I call apple support and the guy who attend my call told me is a normal behavior of iPhone's battery, however I'm concern that phone still dropping in that way.

Yes this is happening to me . After a month of having it the battery dropped to 99% and then every week after that it’s gone down a percentage . I am now at 97%. This is my 3rd phone replacement and it keeps doing the same thing. It’s really starting to upset me because I keep replacing this ! I’m half tempted to pay it off and get another phone. Apple is kinda far to get to for me. I was wondering if I got a bigger gig that would treat me better as far as this issue goes . My cousin has a higher gig and hers runs great. Seems to be mainly 64gb that’s doing this. I could be wrong but I would like to know if that truly would make the difference . Love the phone but this a pain and not normal!

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
