iPhone 12 mini battery health



I boughed a iPhone 12 mini on the 5th of April (less then 2 months old) and the battery capacity (health) is already down to 98%. It is charged during te night (connected to a hue plug), turned on around 3:00 and off at 6:30. If the battery is at 80% the hue plug is turned off early. At the end of the day I still have around 40% left. Because I keep phones for longer than 3 years I wanted to maintain battery life and keep it between 20-80%. But it seems it is doing the opposite. Could this be a software/algorithm error or should I start to panic.


note that I don’t have to charge more than once each day.

Hello,

The battery health being down to 98% is normal and is nothing to worry about.

Having charging stopping at 80% is due to Optimized Battery Charging. See this:

Good luck.
