A 3 year old iPhone’s capacity has dropped by 21%? Pretty good going, mine was at 86% a year in.

Hell, my 12 is at 81% after ‘only’ 2 years and a month. This guy got pretty lucky if you ask me.

Fair, did you buy it new? Still, batteries degrade and in some cases quite significantly depending on usage. Apple has been previously sued for their dodgy business with throttling and battery management, they aren’t doing anything behind the scenes to force people to buy new models if that’s what you’re thinking.

Bought it two years ago on a black friday deal, new indeed. My previous phone was a 6s which they indeed throttled heavily and made me distrust them. I don’t mind swapping a consumable item, but must they make it so hard.. The timing of drop under 80%, which is the threshold at which they provide a free swap within warranty, is just suspicious.

Strange that this comment is so heavily downvoted lol.
