At this point your battery is four to five years old. Considerable degradation should be expected at this point. Batteries don’t last forever.

Just to satisfy your own curiosity, if you have a Mac you can use Coconut Battery to check the health of your battery.

[doublepost=1557037306][/doublepost]Hi again, after some days with iOS 12,2. My Air 2 is not that much snappier end fluider than on iOS 10. There's even a perceptible delay when typing on the keyboard. It's not worst than with iOS 10 but now I thing it wouldn't have been a mistake to stay on iOS 10. In a nutshell: no big regrets but no big wows. And for those who like a 2,5 hours battery life, iOS 12 is for you. Have to take battery life out of my mind cause it will make me crazy. Knowing the same Air 2 could get almost 11 hours from iOS 9 and 6-8 hours from iOS 10. Actually my Mini 2 is the one that has been the most pimped up. It has never run so smoothly. Anyhow, finish, fini, finite for me the Apple upgrades. My 6s is definitely staying on iOS 11.
