I have an iPhone 11 I bought brand new a couple of years ago. Maximum Capacity is down to 83 percent already on the battery. Seems sort of low for only a two year old phone. Anyway, at what percentage should the battery be replaced?
iPhone 11, iOS 15
They recommend it when it's under 80%, but I believe that in many countries where Apple does a same-device battery service (and not a device swap for a battery service price), it can be done on demand.
83% after two years seems in line with Apple's rating of 80% battery health after 500 complete charge-discharge cycles.

Batteries degrade over time with usage, that's just how they work. You can expect about a 1% drop per month with average use on an iPhone.

Hello dare280,
Apple will replace a battery when the percentage is 85% or lower and there is nothing they can do to help you not have to get it replaced, or when a service message appears in the Battery section of Settings.
