I bought refurbished iPhone xs 5 days ago and the battery usage went down by 5% in 3 days from 100 to 95%

It's only been 3 days and I don't even use more than 2 hours daily but the battery went down by 5% in this short amount of time and on 2nd day I left the phone at the desk with 35% battery but I checked in the morning it was low and turned off but on day 4 the battery seems fine it wasn't draining that fast while using social media apps its when I saw the battery usage went down by 5% and i instantly report to seller he ready for replacement but before that I checked battery screen time by myself it gave me 5 hours 27 mins of average use I will also uploading some screenshots and It didn't shut down when I left on the desk overnight on day 4 I left it at 100% and it was 100% in the morning.


Is this normal behavior by refurbished phones? all I wanted to know should I replace my phone or not because the replacement can have more problems then this phone's. The only problem is battery which seems alright now but I think the battery still draining little faster than normal I was just using Instagram for messaging but battery dropped from 85% to 74% in 25-30 mins in which time I was constantly turning off the display


so please help me should I replace my phone or keep this phone? is 5% decrease in phone's battery bad? because I couldn't find any similar case where it happened this fast anywhere and I don't know where else I can ask other than this so please someone help me what should I do

Hey ****160,


We'd be happy to help out. Sounds like you're concerned about the battery in your iPhone XS. Based on the usage shown in your screenshots, everything appears normal to this point.


Playing a video game, such as Apex Legends for more than an hour and a half is going to put quite a dent on your battery level, as it's very battery and graphic intensive. We also can see that when you have periods of inactivity, there's very little, if any, battery drop off, indicating that you're only experiencing battery drain while your device is in use. AI Art could also be fairly battery intensive of an app as well.


None of the evidence provided shows any issues with your device and seems as though your battery runtime is within expectations given some of the heavy usage taking place during periods of battery drain.


For more help with getting the most out your battery though, also review: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support


We hope this helps out.


Take care!
