Low battery health on iPhone 16 Pro after 105 charges

Hello, I own an iPhone 16 Pro,

My battery health dropped to 99% after 6 months, given that I charge it very rarely and always leave the charge at 20% to 80%, the total number of cycles is 105 charges, is this normal?

Low battery health


On average, Battery Health will normally decline about 1% for every 50 Charge Cycles.


Your battery has completed 100 Charge Cycles, so it would be normal for the battery to be at 98% at this time. You are reporting that it is at 99%, so you are doing better than normal.


At 500 Charge Cycles, the battery will be at about 90%. At 1,000 Charge Cycles, it will be time to replace the battery.

Yes, it's 100% normal. On average, you will see a 1% drop in battery health for every 50 charge cycles. As such, it wouldn't be unexpected that your battery health would be 98% after 105 cycles, so your battery is doing very well. Keep in mind batteries are consumable parts and there is no way to stop battery health decline. Worrying over the natural chemical aging of your battery is a waste of worry. When the health of your battery dips to 80%, that's when you pay Apple to replace the battery.
