I bought iPhone 12pro back in January and it’s battery is degrading like crazy, I’m an apple user since idk when but none of my previous phones dropped their battery health this fast. Is it just me or is it happening to everyone having the same phone?
Only the newer iPhones show Battery Health. There wasn't a way to track this in the past. While I understand that Apple added this, all it does it make people constantly check and obsess over the fact that their battery health has dropped. Batteries are consumables, and battery health is going to decline with use. You do not need to look at your battery health until you find your battery will not hold a good charge, and then see what it is. As already mentioned, if your battery does not get down to 80% before a year, there is nothing wrong with the battery.
3% degredation is a great score for an eight month old phone. That would equate to roughly 5-6% a year. At that rate you have many years to go before you need a replacement. Apple recommends you replace the battery when it reaches 80%. You don't need to buy a new battery and no one is stripping you of money.
What is your current battery health level? When it gets to 80% or less, get a new battery.
It’s 3% from perfect but I don’t get how is it degrading this fast. Is it Apple’s new way of stripping its users of money?
It is normal to drop 1 - 2% per month depending on use. If you are at 97%, then you are fine.
I just checked and it has dropped another 1%. This is actually crazing. I’ve been an iPhone user since as long as I remember and none of my previous phones showed such a fast degrading. I barely use my phone 3 to 4 hours a day.
