I mean it's pretty concerning, it dropped to 99% like 4-5 days ago. I'll have way less than 91% in 15 months at this rate man...

Not all batteries are created equal. They start to decay the first time they are charged, heat, use , etc further add to this. Plus Apple said there can be fluctuations in that number. It’s not perfect.

As said don’t worry about it and just use the phone. Replace the battery or phone as needed.

People honestly worry way to much about this in this day and age.

Gotcha, it's my first iPhone and my bros 13 pro max that's almost a year old has 98% battery health so it just got me wondering lol

damn i hope you can recover from this, next time put it inside a glass case in a museum.

in all seriousness, it’s just normal wear and tear, no battery can stay 100 percent healthy all the time.

These battery dropping a few percentages lately are back. I’ve had just about every iPhone since the 4 and have never once looked into my battery besides what it’s currently at

I have an automation for a smart plug that turns off once my phone hits 80% battery and turns back on at 60%, you can do the same if you want to extend your battery life

What kind of charger are you using?

Upbeat-Truck-1833 OP t1_j9yiy4z wrote

25W Samsung adapter and occasionally 30W apple one

there you have your answer. those chargers are overkill and shouldn't be used regularly. i've been using a 5w apple charger (the one that came with the iphone 11) and my battery health went down by only 3% in the past 6 months, while just one year of 20w charging drained it from 95 or so to 80 in a year. i've been using a 5w again since last summer and it only went down 3% since august, so i'd say about 1% every 2 months whereas fast charging messed my shit up with 1% per month. it's worth a try in your case as well.

In addition to what others have stated - the displayed percentage can move up or down slightly from reading to reading. Check again in a few days and it might be back to showing 99%. It's an estimation/guess so don't be too worried about it.

A guy at work has a 13PM after one year his is at 96%, that is concerning to be honest, not sure how mine will be…

Battery health was one of the worst things Apple has ever done. Way too many people obsess over it for no reason. General public is better off not knowing.

What do you want us to do about that? batteries wear some faster then others depending on your usage/charge patterns, and that’s really it.

I asked how's it possible and if it's normal, I didn't want you to do something about it
