My iPhone 13 pro max is at 89% battery health after 4.5 months. I do use the wireless charger dock at night. This may have something to do with the quick battery degradation. I’m on the iPhone forever plan so I get a new one every year. I’m not too worried about the battery health since I’ll get a new one in September. I can tell that the battery doesn’t last quite last as long now.

Several my friends have iPhone 13 Pro Max 256gb from 11 months with 99%:

As I have no personal knowledge of these people or their phones, I cannot comment. What I can tell you is that I worked for Verizon Wireless (major U.S. carrier) for 20 years, part of that running a service department. I've looked at more phones than you every will. It's normal. What you allege your friends are seeing is not normal.

How can be explain this?
It is not 1% for every month.

Please look up the statistical concept of "average"

Basically a lot of people are tired to accept that this situation is normal:

Basically, a lot of people what batteries not to be consumables. They become obsessed with "managing" the health of their batteries.

It is not normal.

Again, yes, it is.

Infact I check regularly the battery circles using iMazing on my Mac or Win.

So?

""""""""""""""""""""" So: """"""""""""""""""""""


1) Before a person can tell that the battery is perfect he should at least know how many charge cycles the battery has;


2) It is normal for the batteries to wear out: there is no need to repeat it;


3) The new iPhone batteries never have 100% charge but more ... +/- 101%, 102%, 103% testing with a dedicated battery testing tool or with software like iMazing or Coconutbattery: same results;


4) I had previously posted that my iPhone 13 Pro Max had shown a 96% battery health but in actuality was 103% health checked with a dedicated battery testing tool or with software like iMazing or Coconutbattery;


5) The battery health of my iPhone 13 Pro Max had reached:


- 99% after the first 25 charge cycles


- Then 98% after another 5 charge cycles


- Then 97% after another 5 charge cycles


- Then 96% after another 5 charge cycles


And now after several weeks is stable at 96% and in the next few days I will post the actual cycles using a battery testing tool and iMazing;


6) we disassembled a lot of batteries and tested with a dedicated battery tool and the state of health was 102%, 103%.


7) iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 pro max had the same battery health problem and received an update to recalibrate the battery health.


8) Several iPhone 13 Pro Max after 1 year still have 100% battery health (is this clear?):


so it is not true that (as some person continue to say) the average decline in battery health is about 1% a month.


And to prove this, just need to search in several very technical online platforms (videos);


Also: Some batteries can be defective and others can be perfect: for sure mine is defective;


9) I never wrote that we have taken apart and repaired more phones than a person might have in his life...ehm...for sure;

And, by the way, my name is not "bruh".
