Is it normal for my new iPhone 15 to drop to 99% Battery Health?

Does possessing an iPhone 15 mean being obsessed with battery health all the time?


I have read many people just writing about their phone’s battery, so am I.


I have charged my phone 25 times and battery health has been dropped to 99 percent.


I was never bothered about the battery when I was using android phones. I still have that phone that I purchased 5 years ago. The battery still works well.

You will drive yourself crazy if you are checking the battery all the time.


Why?......due to the special way that Apple displays percentages, they always round down the real percentage to only a two digit number.


So, your battery might really be at 99.9%.......but this will be displayed as 99%. What looks like a 1% decline might really only be a .1% decline, or other small amount.


All that you really need to do is remember to replace the battery when it is down to 80%, although you will get an on-screen notice when that occurs as well.


Expect 4-5 years of use on the battery.
