Hello marilou166!


Indeed it is! In fact, 97% is above average.


Apple recommends you to change your battery when the Maximum Capacity reaches 80%. When the time comes, please click Here to go about having the battery replaced.

That it happens is normal.

When it happens may be normal or abnormal.


A duckduckgo search on "maintaining iPhone battery health" will bring up several links to articles explaining how to extend the health and life of an iPhone battery.


This article, from Apple, describes several characteristics of lithium batteries and the care they need to maintain performance over time: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support
