If it is an XR it can’t be new, as they were discontinued 2 1/2 years ago. If it has been sitting on a shelf for that (or longer) the battery probably is degraded.

We are going round and round in circles and getting nowhere. Our answers are only going be as good as the quality of information that you provide.


What model of iPhone do you have that you are asking about?

When did you buy the phone?

Did you think the phone was new when you bought it?


If you have an iPhone 11.......it is NOT new. A Max Capacity number of 88% on an iPhone 11 tells me that the phone is likely 18-24 months old.
