So I bought my son a refurb iPhone 11 128gb . It was grade a looked perfect and is working fine . But… when we got it in dec the battery health was 100% . Now 3 months later the battery health is 89%!!! he is not on it that much so it’s not from crazy use . It has been falling a % or so about every 2 weeks now
I wonder why this is ?
im going to send it back as I purchased on Amazon but it just seems very very odd
any thoughts ?
This is normal. Battery health drops with battery usage and charging cycles. As for a refurbished iPhone, it could have a lot of cycles allready. There is no need to worry about this, if it drops below 80% then you can get the battery replaced

Normal behavior. As batteries are used and charged, their health declines.It is possible that a refurbished iPhone has already been used a lot.You can replace the battery if it drops below 80%, so don't worry about it

It can drop really fast, and it can come to a standstill for months. I had on my old iPhone that it dropped to 90% rather fast, but after that it kept on 90% for almost 3 years. This is not a linear process
Thanks for the reply ! But I have to say it does not seem ok that it drops that fast ! I also have another iPhone 11 that I have had for 2 years and its battery health is only down to 96% . I am just worried that if it keeps falling so quickly it could be below 80% in a few months time
