iPhone XS IPhone XS battery health

[Firelystar]

Yesterday I noticed that the battery health of my IPhone XS is at 97% already. When I checked the battery health just a little over a week ago my battery health still was at 100%. Is this even normal? I have my IPhone XS since launch day.

I’m on also on IOS version 12.01 right now. Even though I doubt IOS version has anything to do with it since battery health isn’t in beta anymore.

My IPhone 8 Plus still had 100% battery health when I gave it to my friend. I had the IPhone 8 Plus for about 11 months until I got the IPhone XS.

My Dad has the IPhone 8 Plus too and the battery health of his phone is also still at 100% when he had his phone for almost 1 year.

When I checked Twitter and Reddit a few other IPhone XS users also have the same problem with the battery health of their IPhone XS not being at 100% anymore.

Now I’m wondering if some people on here with the IPhone XS or IPhone XS MAX are texperiencing this too? Or Maybe even on a older model that was just recently bought.

I just think it’s a little strange. That’s why I started this thread in the first place.

Launch day iPhone Max still reads 100%. Coconut Battery reads 3350 mah with 5 charge cycles already.

That's a lot more than the default capacity. Looks like you won the battery lottery, since some will have more than the specified capacity.

We didn't need another thread about this.

Losing 3% so fast does warrant a thread I'd say.

Sorry I wasn’t aware there were more threads about this issue.

No it doesn't. It's completely normal, and may even go up. Battery capacity will vary in the beginning. MOST batteries are over 100% from the factory, but Apple only shows 100% for a reason: so people don't freak out when daily checks are 102, 100, 101. 99, 102, 100, 101... it takes 15-20 cycles to level out and get a more accurate reading. If, after those 15-20 cycles, you're showing like 90%, then yeah have Apple look at it. But the warranty, I believe, only kicks in if it's under 80% in under a certain number of cycles. Otherwise it's considered perfectly normal, perfectly healthy. And people freaking out over a few percent here and there is the whole reason why Apple kept that measurement hidden for so long.

Mine is at 99%, also from launch day. Seems a little bad to me!

98% after two month - it is like it is….
