It is normal to see some decline after a year.


To learn about maximizing battery life and lifespan, read this support document --> Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple


"A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers battery service for a charge."

As my first response indicates, yes, that is good. It is only if you saw a decline to below 80% in the first year that Apple would consider that outside of "normal" performance. How much decline you see will depend upon your usage of the device but even if you don't use it, a battery will simply degrade with time. That said, I have a 6 year old iPhone and its battery still says 84%.
