[doublepost=1522172266][/doublepost]As far as charging percentage - try not using the big ipad brick charger to charge the phone for a few days. I've found my viable battery percentage improved when using the slower chargers.

There is absolutely not evidence of that and that is merely anecdotal. There is nothing wrong with using an iPad brick. I have been using one for 5 years. The only time I don't use an iPad brick is when I'm traveling and there has never been a difference.
 
My 3 month old iPhone X has a 110 cycles on its battery and it's still going strong at around 103% of its nominal capacity - 2768 mAh.
I use a combo of 13" MacBook Pro USB-C charger + Apple Lightning to USB-C to top it up quickly when I need it or just put it on a Puro wireless charger where it serves as a Personal Hotspot when I'm at home.
No battery performance degradation so far.
 
Mine %98 :eek:

I bought it the day out. Using Anker fast charge adapter. I charge every day. I guess it's caused by the charging adapter

100%. 1st day release iPhone X back in early Nov 2018

I only used Apple lightening cable with thirdparty multi USB charger.
 
93% on a 6 month old iPhone SE, and suspiciously exactly the same on my partner's iPhone 6.

The iPhone 6 is showing all the symptoms of a poor battery, so was surprised to see this.

Same thing here …

I was hoping that the battery of my iPhone 6 would be around or below 80% with the throttling enabled, but it is 93% at peak performance capacity, apparently. Surprising for a device this old.
 
100% on my iphone X
100% on my iphone 6 (after an express replacement because I paid for a battery change and they didn't actually change it, luckily I was on 11.3 beta and proved it).
 
90% on my iPhone SE which is a little over 2 years in use. I charged it almost every day.
 
Mine shows 100%. Pretty much have only ever charged with Belkin Qi charger (or whatever one it is Apple sells).

I don't think that's the problem with your iPhone 6. My wife's 6 showed some battery wear but normal benchmarks and abysmal real world performance. She got a new battery installed and BAM everything was unchanged other than battery capacity. It went up from mid/low 80s to 100%. Benchmarks didn't change. Real world performance still totally sucked. It's the RAM, not the battery.

Try it now on 11.3, I bet the results are different.

Edit - you mean un-throttle it? It wasn't throttled with the old battery (said the benchmarks). It certainly wasn't throttled with a brand-new replacement battery. I will update it out of curiosity but I'd be shocked if it behaves any better.

Better? Worse? Shortly after the battery replacement it went into a drawer and my wife bought an 8, which has been fantastic for her. Even the keyboard response on the 6 had become very sluggish.

iOS 11.3 will only throttle after an unexpected shutdown occurs, so things may be faster for you now, until (if it happens) the next shutdown.

Supposedly they didn't just put in the ability to see the status; they also tweaked the algorithms that throttle performance, so do some testing.

I currently have an iPhone 6s that is 1 year and 8 months old. This is my percentage. Looking to see what others have for a percent.
 
My iPhone 7 Plus (year and a half old!) is still rocking 94%.

I suspect Plus phones are less likely to hit throttling since the batteries are so much larger.
