Thank you..But based on my daily usage and charging cycles..i think its not normal..and since the iphone 15 pro max is the latest model right now..i saw my friends using iphone 13 and 14 pro max..still 90-95%.. Mine after 2 month drop to 98%.. Apple should see this issue seriously..

Sorry, but it is completely normal. And Apple doesn't provide charging cycle stats, so you must be using a 3rd party app to monitor it, which are notoriously inacurrate. What you're doing is worrying over something you cannot stop. Batteries, ALL BATTERIES lose their ability to hold the same charge as new, with use and recharging. A lost of 1% per month is normal. If you are hoping someone is going to agree with you that you have something wrong with your iPhone, you're not going to get it here. If you phone goes to 80% or less in the first year, Apple will replace the battery under warranty. The changes of that are beyond unlikely. And when the health of your battery dips to 80% or less, which it most definitely will at some point, it will then be time to pay Apple to replace the battery. In the meantime, worrying needlessly over something which is normal and can't be stopped is a waste of your time.


You also cannot compare your iPhone to different models owned and used by other people. Each phone is different and is used differently.

And we're telling you there is nothing wrong with your iPhone and YES, you should just use and enjoy it!


A few tips:


  1. Make sure Optimized Battery Charging or 80% Charge Limit is enabled on your iPhone
  2. Plug your phone in to charge at night when you go to bed and LEAVE it plugged in to charge all night, EVERY NIGHT
  3. Don't let the battery drop to 0% EVER and try NOT to let it drop below 20%, which is hard on Lion Batteries
  4. Definitely enjoy your phone and stop worrying about Battery Health
