I know it’s 80% for apple care, I’m assuming (total guess) that it’s the same for warranty. I’m sure Feek got his 13 changed under warranty last year.

That was a 12 Pro Max and it was a couple of years ago.
iPhone 12 Pro Max - Have I got a duff battery?
Launch day iPhone 12 Pro Max. 89 cycles on the battery and down to 92% battery. This can't be right, surely? Normally my phone is still at 100% when it's a year old.

Jeez, shows how quick time goes by.
I couldn’t believe it when I looked back. My 13 Pro Max has 253 cycles, is 648 days old and is at 96%

My 13PM after 15 months has just (at some stage in the past week) dropped to 99%!
Heh. Same here! I literally noticed it yesterday.

Had it 8 months. Keep it generally between 20-80% mostly.

My 14 Pro Max is still showing 100% after about 8 months as well (had it since launch day), never used optimised charging as I don't like it, if I charge it I want 100% every time and the battery has only ever been charged wirelessly. Always been lucky with iPhone batteries, after 12 months I don't think I've ever had one drop below 95%, usually at 98% to 100%.

I would genuinely be interested to know whether using and charging the battery in a certain way actually makes a difference to the battery health beyond the optimisations the operating system already makes. It's difficult to work out because you would need a very large sample size of identical devices with near identical battery chemistry and use half of them with the 'battery health saving' techniques and the other half without those considerations. I am of the opinion if people just used and charged their devices in any old way, the battery health of the device would be basically identical to what it would have been if they were taking care of it. That is based on absolutely zero evidence and pure conjecture.

I’ve got optimised charging on. I use my phone the exact same way as I normally would.
My 14 is currently at 97%.
My 13 was at 100% and so was my 12 when I upgraded

I think these days that it’s perfectly fine to let a device do its own power management. Life’s too short to be worrying about whether a phone will be at 82% or 84% in five years time.
Usually it’s someone else’s problem by that age.
The device will probably do a better job than us making our lives miserable trying to optimise for that final 1% improvement which wouldn't even happen.
People should just use their phones, plug whenever they want, unplug whenever they want and get on with their lives. If after 2-3 years the battery is poor and they want to keep the device, they can replace the battery for £100.

Wow that is really low for a phone thats not even a year old yet, wonder if apple would do anything. I am still at 98% on my launch day 14 pro.

Mine is now 94% less than 4 weeks, I’ll check back at the end of August see what it’s like.

Tempted to get a 14 Pro now, can be had for 899 14 day returns. 15 pro will likely be bumped in price and not a noticeable difference day to day Vs the 14 Pro. Decisions.
