So I picked up the iphone 12 Mini at launch last year and I love it, but I've noticed that my battery health is degrading surprisingly fast. Before this I was hanging onto an iphone 6 that I had been using for 6 years and the battery health on that phone is at 98%.
My only thought on why this is happening is fast charging and or wireless charging. All I had ever used on my iphone 6 was the typical 5W charger plugged in. When I got the 12 Mini I decided to upgrade to the new 20W charger and got a wireless magsafe charger as well. However within just a few months I noticed that the battery health was already dropping by 1-2%. By the time it got to 95% I decided to switch back to only using the 5W charger and nothing else. However a few months go by and my battery is now at 92% and it's just coming up to about a year since I got this phone.
I am by no means a heavy user when it comes to my phone, I really don't understand what I could be doing to make it degrade so fast. I typically let it charge to full overnight and that's it, no need to charge in the day just like I treated my iphone 6. Do I just have a bad battery or what's going on?
