iPhone SE purchased April 2020 battery dies very quickly

Battery app indicates it is good but goes down fast. Phone was at 80% at 8:30 am with cell, Wi-Fi, and BT turned off, not being used, and by 9:35 am was only showing 74% charge. Any idea why? Battery app shows nothing using it.

Your battery has reached the end of its life.


Batteries degrade over time with usage due to chemical aging, that's just how they work.

You can expect about a 1% drop per month with average use on an iPhone.

Apple recommends replacing it when it reaches 80%. To check your battery health, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
