My phone battery health is reducing very fast since it’s not been a year of purchase and it is 84% and 1 month is still left of my warranty so I am thinking if my battery health will go bellow 80% then what and how should I replace it for free since I have seen somewhere that apple will replace it for free if phone is still under warranty so help me figure it out .
iPhone 13, iOS 16
Referring to the "Your battery's maximum capacity" section of the support article: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support
"A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions." Even rechargeable batteries get worn down and 1-2% health loss per month is perfectly normal. According to iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support , Apple apparently only considers it unusual (and warrant-able) if a battery drops below 80% maximum capacity in less than a year after you receive it. Ergo, some storage loss as you use it is anticipated and acceptable. Prorating that possible 20% drop over the first 12 months equates to 1-2% drop per month being within the range of what Apple finds acceptable. "The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers battery service for a charge." In other words, if maximum capacity is below 80%, the battery is below normal performance and worth replacing. You can still use a device with a lower health percentage than 80% but for optimal usage you may wish to consider having it changed when it reaches 80% battery health.
- If battery health drops a few percentage per month that is normal.
- If battery health drops below 80% in the first year, contact Apple about a warranty replacement. (Apple will determine its actual eligibility.)
- If battery health drops below 80% after the first year, consider getting the battery replaced but anticipate paying for it.

You have 1 month left on your warranty, correct? And the battery is at 84%, correct?
No way that the battery is going to decline to less than 80% in a month.
Expect to pay $89 (US) in 3-5 months when it is time to replace the battery.

Question guys. After 3yrs my iphone battery health is 83% is it good or need to replace now?
You don't say what model iPhone. Apple apparently won't change them until they are below 80%. Personally I find that with my iPhone at 83% that I have to charge it several times per day under quite modest use. I have something that uses Bluetooth and if I leave that turned on and forget to plug the phone in overnight then I am down to only a few % charge the next morning. I have done all the tricks I can to reduce power consumption but it's getting to the point where I may take it in for a new battery anyway. I am not sure if Apple would even consider doing it for my old iPhone so I may have to look elsewhere where I suppose they might do it regardless of the health level.

Hello~ It’s usually suggested to replace at 80%. Take a look at the prior post by *Limnos*

Your phone will tell you when it is time to replace the battery, which will be at 79% Health.
