15 cycles later and maximum capacity dropped from 96% to 93%.
i rarely let my battery go below 20 and i charge it until 95%. i also charge it to 100 at least twice a month.
i don’t think this is still normal
i feel like my battery degrading is so excessive lmao…. but also i think just today it dropped to 70% and my phone is now genuinely tweaking out.
It started earlier today when my phone died at 2% and the second i plugged it in like one second later the battery was 46% already 🫠…
then now it starts threatening to die at 50%… sound goes super soft and everything goes laggy until i have to plug it in😭
I don’t mind replacing the battery but i was hoping to put it off for awhile since my phone has no backup so i wanted to slowly save the photos i want but it seems like a replacement is pretty urgent now.
I’m really scared about losing all my data though, apple warns you to back up the whole phone before booking a replacement battery appointment 💧
has anyone dealt with like factory reset when you go in to replace your battery ? 😅
edit: now it also won’t charge over 80% despite me not setting a charging limit 😀 i’m doomed
I use to get 9-11 hours EASY. Now im happy if I get 7 what happened ? Anyone experiencing the same ?
My battery health is 99% and i used it outside on 4G as well, not too bad right?
the battery health dropped from 94% to 90% in like 16 days
Brand new iPhone 17 (base model) bought when it came out.
Seems to be doing good on latest version of iOS 26.4.2
It took more than a week to get settled on 16PM. Assuming whatever indexing was going on.
Does it really matter to keep the battery percentage between 20 to 80 if it matters what are the extend like battery percentage still drops?
Recently bought a brand new iPhone 17 and by today it’s one week old. But so far the btry life is exceptionally terrible and having a hard time about it and is this just normal for these to have such a low btry life within first two weeks or is it just me?
More over I realized 1% drop every 5-6 mins on 4G and 5-10 mins on wifi as well
And Im using all authentic Apple products as well.
I bought the phone 5months ago(november 30 2025)about 2months ago it was at 100% health suddenly decreased to 98% and a week ago it was at 97 and now 96 .I used to charge the phone fully to 100% when i bought it and after health dropped to 98% i stopped doing that and only charge to 90%. i only do minimal gaming (like clash of clans) for the past week and mainly use instagram or youtube.I dont keep it under 20% but due to overnight battery drain it sometimes goes under 20%.my charger is from apple.im only getting SOT of 6-7 hrs i used to get around 10hrs when i bought it.one of my frnds have 15 pro bought a yr ago still on 100% health our uses are same his is 15proband mine 17base why is this happening should i get this checked why is apples flagship phone like this?help me
I’ve been trying to get my battery life under 80 to get a replacement but this dam battery won’t go under 80 and taking long. I always charge to 100 this phone heats up a lot when on FaceTime or playing games. I charge it three times a day. It’s also my work phone. I’ve tried everything but this battery being stubborn. For those asking it’s an iPhone 15 pro max. As for charging habits I charge it when it’s dead or I’m not lazy to charge. I use this phone like it was meant for. So don’t ask tips lol idk how I made it here.
iPhone 17 Pro. Is it just me or that took a long while to drop to 99%?
I last checked around ~205 cycles and it was still 100%.
This is impressive.
(yeah I know, r/chargeyourphone)
Although apple says its 83% but it’s actually 84% on 3utools
Is this normal so far, then phone is a week old, but I only set it up Saturday, I charged the phone last night to 90% at 12 midnight, its currently 16:13 and its on 63% with only 3 hours screen time. Is this normal for a new iphone, please dont put hateful comments like other Reddit Communities, i just want to know and understand if this is normal behaviour?
