e battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles. 99% still very good.

I see nothing wrong here to be honest. Just use it as you normally will. Do yourself a favor by not checking the battery health unless you face any abnormal battery issues. its a meaningless metric to check since I noticed it just adds unnecessary anxiety to people. Realistically, nothing stays at 100% from the moment you start using it, even our life.

Bought the phone (11 pro max) on 17/01/2020

Jeeezz only barely 3 months ...

Mine got it on Singtel’s launch event (2nd day), it’s now 97%.

Just use it as it is and don’t be too bothered about the capacity. If dropped too low and you find it an eyesore, just get the batt replaced.

Quick, take S$99 and your phone with you to the store and get it replaced. You should be good for another three months.

My 11 Pro Max, bought on launch day (~ 6 months) is already on 97%, versus to my previous XS Max that took about 9 months to decrease even to 99%.

Also realised almost every iOS 13.X update, it decreases by 1%. But then again, it is also because since I’ve bought AppleCare+, I just charge and let it drain whenever based on circumstances.

If you are really wanna know

Those who have a mac, plug it in and use coconut battery and check the actual batter health.

You will be surprise that "actually" 99% is 96% :D

Give and take, Apple is being save on caculating the %.

iPhone XR, 1 year+, permanently on power saving mod and always charge whenever I have the chance and not over 80%. Rarely let the battery go below 40%. Never used the phone while it’s charging.

My suggestion to those who want an accurate read of their battery capacity would be to do a complete charge cycle by draining the battery to 10% and then giving it an uninterrupted full charge.

I have been praticing partial-charging since I got my iP11 and look at the result 5 months later. The capacity can't be right.

My iPhone 7 is like 81% battery health and its 4 years ago. Should I cry then?
