My battery health metric is shockingly low

First of all you're using a 3rd party battery check app and they are not often accurate. Second, you can expect to lose about 1% in battery health per month of ownership. If you've had your iPhone for 9 months, and your battery health is 92%, that's not shockingly low. It's actually normal. When your battery health dips to 80% or less, it will then be time to pay Apple to replace the battery in your iPhone. And Apple only covers warranty on iPhone batteries if they dip to 80% or less in the first 12 months of ownership. You're quite far from that, so Apple won't consider you have an issue at all. And you don't have an issue.

I am curious to know what the iPhone actually shows when you go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health?

You have to understand that batteries are consumable parts. And with every full cycle battery charge, the health of the battery will decline. It's what batteries do. ALL BATTERIES.

Contact Apple if you feel you have an issue with the battery in your iPhone. You are speaking only with other users on this user to user forum. But don't be surprised when Apple tells you what we're telling you and that is your battery health is not an issue after 9 months of owning your phone. And your battery health is going to continue to decline, which is something you can't stop.

The important figure is that of your Battery's Health. If that figure is at 92%, you are in good shape. the average Apple Battery lasts through two years of normal usage. When Battery Health reaches 80%, it will be time to make an appointment at the nearest Apple Store for battery Replacement....

Unfortunately, Apple will only replace your battery within 1 year if your battery health goes below 80%.

The analytics you've grabbed is straight from apple.. so this is not the case of you grabbing the incorrect data. The shortcut battery stats just grabs the data that you need to see how your battery is degrading over time.

With that said.. I believe what some people failed to see in your post is that you've only re-charged your battery 115 times over a 9 month period. You are seeing basically around a !% decrease in battery health with regards to a low usage iphone user.

So, based on your current usage.. the battery may fail around the 2 year mark and need replacement? I personally don't think that is acceptable.

On my iphone XR after 1.5years of usage my battery health was at around 89%.

My wifes iphone X after 2 years was about 87%.

On those iphones the charge cycle count was at a similar rate to yours.

It makes me suspect that todays batteries have some anomoly.. possibly:

1. Batteries that are not as durable after charge cycles
2. Fast charging or Wireless Charging is causing increased degradation of battery health
3. Newer OS's and possibly issues in software are causing increased poor battery health degradation.

As long as people accept the fact that 1% battery health loss is the new norm, then I don't think the poor battery duration over time will ever be addressed.

My wife has an iphone 13 pro with 100% battery health.. I'm going to track how it degrades per month to see if my battery history is similar to yours. Good luck

I have owned both an iphone XR and iphone X

Whatever app you're using to get that information is clearly wrong.

Stop poking around in the analytics. They are not intended to be human readable. Special tools are required to interpret them correctly.

It somehow looks like the data is from a watch. Do you have one? Probably an SE2? I always get 2 analysis files per day. One for the iPhone and one for the Watch. Greetings ✌️
