iPhone 15 battery health dropped in one month of usage

i bought iPhone 15 on 22 October. And after 25 cycles battery health dropped to 99 and after 30 cycles on 4 December battery health dropped to 98. I am a normal user i don’t play games, i use only few social media apps that’s it. This is not normal because earlier battery health used to drop to 98-99 after one year. I have seen few more users reporting this issue with 15 pro max and 15 plus also. I feel Apple wants everyone to buy iPhone every year or pay for batteries every year. This is pathetic experience.

This is perfectly normal, if your other phone only degraded 1% in a year, then there was something wrong with the sensor.

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. This is an approximation, that is why it may be plus or minus a few percent on a month to month basis.

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