Battery Health at 89% after 11 months
Hi,
iPhone 12 Pro Max (512 g storage) After 11 months my Battery Maximum Capacity is at 89%. I have Optimized Battery Charging On. Location Services disabled on almost all applications. I had reached out to Apple Support about battery replacement since I have Apple Care with Theft and Loss Protection. I think they said it has to go below 80% to be replaced. I travel extensively overseas for long periods of time and the healthier the battery the better. I’m planning to travel in the near future for 2 to 4 months and most places do not have authorized Apple stores to replace the battery if it falls below 80%. I hike a lot of mountains.
Is this common to see a 11% decline in battery health after 11 months of usage?
Does anyone know how much Apple charges to replace the battery when not covered by the warranty?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Rick
