iPhone 13 Pro Max battery health 98%

Bought the 13 Pro Max in January 2022. Checked the battery health today and charging capacity is 98%. My wife bought the iPhone 13 at the same time and her capacity in battery health is 100%.


Given the age of my new phone and my wife’s purchase at the same time, not happy. I also bought Apple Care at the same time for the Pro Max but it never occurred to me I might need it so soon.


Thanks folks

You should expect Battery Health to decline on average about 1% a month. That's an average. Some months it may not decline at all and then suddenly drop 2-3%. This is normal.


If you purchased the Phone in January, then the Maximum Capacity should be about 92-93% at this time. If your phone is at 98%, that is exceptionally good performance. If your wife's phone is still at 100%, that is nothing short of amazing. I would expect it to drop by 4-6% soon to come closer to the averages.


I also purchased a phone in January and after almost nine months, it is right on average at 91%.


You should send flowers to Apple as soon as possible for your exceptionally good luck with your batteries.
