Apple stopped recommending battery "calibration" over a decade ago.


If you post why you think the battery needs attention, we may be able to help in a way that does not harm your phone or its battery. Be sure to include whwhichr iPhone this is, if not the iPhone 7 running iOS 15 that is shown in your equipment line.


Remember, all rechargeable batteries are wear items; they have a finite life span. An iPhone 7 could be as old as 8 years and I would expect the original battery to be rather tired by now.
