Hi, its absolutely normal!


An Apple battery drops an average (plus minus) about 1% in health per month with normal use. This means it's normal for a battery to be around 90% after one year of use. A healthy battery is considered one that is at 80% or higher capacity. You may replace it once it falls below 80 percent from a apple authorised service provider.
