15 pro max battery health at 99% after just 2 months??!


I bought the phone end of may 2024. It dropped a percent today. I charge the phone once or rarely twice a day. I use the 20-80% battery charge rule. Its currently on ios 17.6


Is this normal for just 53 cycles? I swear i’ve seen people with way higher at 100%.

Educate me please i’m a bit worried.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

It might have declined from 100% to 99.9%, but Apple will display this as 99%. So, it looks like your battery dropped 1% when it only dropped .1%.


It is normal for the battery to decline about 1% for every 25 charge cycles.


53 cycles divided by 25 = 2.1%


So, it would be normal to expect that your battery would be at about 98% at this time. You say that it is at 99%, so your battery is doing better than average.


Replace the battery when it is down to 80%.
