I have a 13 Pro Max with iOS 16 and the battery health on it is 88% and that is expected. There is no direct correlation between an iOS update and battery health. The iPhone 13 Pro Max is about a year old and, therefore on average at this time, 88% or thereabouts is right.


Your battery health is fine and is undergoing normal usage. iPhone batteries, like all rechargeable batteries, are consumable components that become less effective as they age. You should change out the battery once your Battery Health reaches below 80% which will take over 2 years to reach under normal usage. Until then enjoy your iPhone.
