iphone 12 pro max battery health degrading

Yeah, I know. But, at the rate it's declining, it will be slightly above 80 at the year mark. So, it won't fall under standard warranty. It's bad enough to be noticeable but not bad enough to warrant a fix. In 18months, it will be.

Okay, accordingly the same leap is reflected in coconutbattery too? Since we usually maintain charge between 25-85 it cannot be calculated accurately. Although i may concede as i donot have concrete idea✌🏻.

Este es el primer dispositivo que en tan poco tiempo me pasa esto, ya estoy en un 92% pasado 8 meses de uso, pero esto a pasado en los últimos 3 meses, los primeros meses el comportamiento fue normal.

Today, my display started flashing every 15 seconds. It gets lighter then it gets darker. I first noticed this when the phone was new and it occasionally would do it every few months but today it started doing it, and it’s actually doing it while I’m typing this. I have closed all other apps and I never use auto brightness.

perhaps this explains why the battery is draining. Possible motherboard issue? Don’t know but I’m going to call AppleCare and initiate a replacement.

On the Contrary I m ****** now that it suddenly stopped dropping and battery health became better… if it continued to drop 2% per month like before I can claim a new battery by Nov 21 as it will be less than 80% within a year

I also bought my iphone 12 pro max on launch day and after four month battery declined to 99% and then suddenly to 97% percent in two months ……Apple needs to fix this issue or totally erase the maximum battery capacity section so that costumer may not worry every time seeing this **** ****……

My 12PM battery has been dropping 1% every 1-2 weeks until it hit 89% and it suddenly stopped dropping.. it has been 1.5mths and still at 89%.

Perhaps Apple did something to avoid giving free battery replacement

My iPhone was 93% battery health like a month or two ago now it’s only 90% this is crazy they need to fix this I got iPhone 12 also but my old iPhone the 6 plus it’s battery barely degrades at all it’s been at 91% for like 2 years

Obviously u don’t understand what the issue is about … all of us know Apple will replace it if drops to below 80% within a year.. u don’t have to keep repeating it.

Battery has been dropping like 2% every month until recently it suddenly stopped dropping which means we cannot get free battery replacement anymore

So if it stopped dropping, your battery doesn't need replacement.

If your battery health never dropped below say 81%, there would never be a reason to replace it unless something else went wrong with it.

Will you please stop bleating on about how "this is normal", "one percent drop per month is expected", or "your battery will be replaced under warranty if if drops to 80% within the first 12 months".

Contributors have genuine concerns and your repetitive posts are not helping at all. You've stated your point numerous times, so please, let people have their discussions with like mined people, with similar issues.

I too have battery health issues, similar to others, where my experience with older iPhone's is uniquely different to my iPhone 12. My wife has an iPhone 11, with a much higher battery charge cycle count and hers is still at 100%, whereas mine is lower - this is not normal, so don't try to persuade people that it is.

Maybe my comparison between my old iPhone 8 and my actual iPhone 12 was someway forced, but I expect that a newer and more modern version of a phone does not deplete the battery this way: we know that iPhone 12 has a larger screen and a more powerful CPU than iPhone 8, but I would expect that battery life would have been improved rather than seeing such a fast depletion.

I understand and respect what you're saying, but numbers are numbers: my iPhone's battery is losing its maximum power too fast (7 percentage point in 8 months), much more than it was on my previous iPhone (and I've intensively used it too).

Compared to using your phone.

Compared to using my phone? I don't have an iPhone 12 so comparing your phone to mine would be pointless.

Losing over 10% charge capacity in less than a year of use is unacceptable for a $1000+ phone.

You're entitled to your opinion but it doesn't change the fact that what you're seeing is normal.

Same three users (with very high forum points) repeating the same answers (denials) again and again. Notice that the people who are complaining about the problem don't have high points because we don't come to the forums unless we have a legitimate problem. That's what smells.

I have bought my iPhone 12 on November 11, 2021. And within 9 months, my battery health has dropped at 88%. I don’t play games or run any heavy applications on my phone. This is so much unacceptable from a phone that costs more than 1000$. Even my 3.5years old iPhone 8’s BH is at 81% currently. Worst experience ever!
