Iphone 11 battery life down to 86% in 16 months?

I received my iPhone 11 16 months ago, battery showed 99%, now 16 months later the battery is down to 85%. Why is it happening to the iPhone 11, I have been doing research and it looks like the iPhone 11 have a sub standard battery, as I am not alone with this problem, there is quite a few people that have the same problem.


The iPhone stores reaction is" Sorry there is nothing we can do" really, if that is their attitude I will have a field day on every social platform naming and shaming the iPhone.


ps. I bought my first Iphone in 2008 - 15 year of excellent phone, now this piece of %$#@

iPhone X, iOS 15

There is no universal standard to determine whether the battery health deterioration/drainage is normal or abnormal because it heavily relies on how the battery is used and maintained.
