iPhone X What’s your Battery Health (11.3)

Our Apple store let my wife upgrade her iPhone 6 battery last month even with it having good health, the rep even said you don’t need to change it but she wanted it changed and they had no issues doing it for her.
My X is 100% on coconut battery and the Apple battery health reading. My 6S is 92% on coconut battery and 94% on the Apple health reading
I bought my iPhone 8 Plus on launch day (Sept 22nd) and I'm at 99% capacity. I would consider myself a semi heavy user. I charge my phone with a mix of wired and wireless charging
Battery Health for my old and new iOS Devices: In my opinion it seems dramatically accurate
iPhone 6: 91% (4-5 Hours of usage)
iPhone 6S: 80% (4 Hours of usage)
iPhone SE: 99% (4.5 Hours)
iPhone 7 Plus ( 5.3 Hours)
iPad Mini 4: 96% (10 Hours)
iPad Pro 10.5": 100% (10 Hours)
Well actually, i think the Apple Did well adding the battery throttling feature so if your device has some battery issue you can use it so it will reduce the smoothness in exchange of longer battery. Battery Health is also accurate which is a PLUS.

Launch day 6s: Had the faulty battery that turned off all the time, got it replaced by Apple in Dec 2016. Now, after 15 months, I have only 86% left 
I hardly get through a day if I use the phone more than just a couple of texts in the lunch break. I just restored iOS 11.3 via DFU and set it up as new phone. Hope that helps.
I'm quite pissed though and plan either to replace the battery myself this year or get a 29€ replacement by Apple...

that amount of wear after 15 months seems quite fair. yeah its crap you had to replace it initially but depending on how often you charge it, don't think 14% wear In 1.5 years is bad.
Nope, i just downloaded An battery doctor app so i will be informed if its still healthy.. no need for an iPhone since its already there in Settings while iPad lacks it.
Can someone know why my cousins iPhone 5S not showing of settings in battery health or Battery throttling (reduce performance for longer batery) ? Also why 5S lacks it while other newer phone has it?
Actually I was using Lirum Info Lite App there.
Used Battery Life App instead & it's making more sense (100%). Had the X for just under a week.
Battery's been pretty good imo. Been heavily using it whilst on holiday, taking photos etc. & have had it at ~40% at worst after a full day.
iPhone X purchased in December 2017, 100%.
My Air 2 from April 2015 is at 81% via coconut battery, its used heavily and drained often

Do you know of anyone who installed 2915 mah or bigger in 6s plus and using it with no problem?
No.
Batteries that have a high capacity (claimed or actual) will likely have a high internal resistance. Everyone is focused on capacity but internal resistance is also important. A high internal resistance means the battery cannot supply the high current needed and the phone shuts down unexpectedly. The capacity is meaningless if it cannot flow out quick enough.
Apple has already put in a battery with a good compromise between capacity, internal resistance, and safety. If you try to squeeze in a battery with higher capacity, you risk the other factors. There's no free lunch.
