iPhone XS Battery Health 97% on iPhone XS

[iphonefreak450]

I purchased my iPhone XS around June of this year with the Battery Health being 100%.
Now, it is 97%.

Just wanting to ask if this is normal?

I am aware that the XS has very poor battery life...So I have to charge it maybe every 2 days maximum.

A number of existing threads on the subject can be of help:

Battery health dropped 2% overnight?

So I’ve had the XS since launch date and as of yesterday the battery health was 94%. First off, is that normal to be at 94% after 10 months? I’m a pretty heavy user I’d say. But when I checked today it went from 94% to 92%. What the heck? Is this normal to be at this level after less than a year?

What’s your battery health on XS?

I’ve had my XS since late October. Sadly I realized that my battery health dropped to 99% sometimes in April and then suddenly to 97% in Jun. Up until then I had never ran out of juice on my XS, but last week I decided to perform “calibration”, as I thought maybe it didn’t show the % correctly...

i think thats normal... my XS jumped in the frist 3 months from 100% to 93% -- and now, for nearly 6 months it stands still at 93%...

reading a lot and the most answers i get is, that do not think to much about the battery life until it drops unter 80%..

Xs Max now 2 years old so 3% sounds within reason. Remember it also depends on how much you use and charge your iPhone

I think it’s normal...
Mine dropped from 100 to 86% in the first year after release. Since then it stands still.
Apart from that I would say that the Xs has poor battery life.

Seems okay, I got my 11 Pro Max in March and it’s at 98% now.

Has your battery life dramatically decreased? Personally my battery life seems to still be top notch.

Also how old is your Xs? It could have been a phone built long ago, remember batteries degrade even while sitting at the retailer, so your phone could have been sitting for quite a long time. I cannot remember how you check build date but that would explain the drop.

Wow that's a pretty steep drop in one year.

I have a weirder problem with my iPhone X. It is almost 3 years old at this point, battery health still says 91% HOWEVER, it also says the battery needs service and that my performance may be degraded. With Apple Stores still closed in Los Angeles, I have not been able to get it replaced. It's actually part of the reason why I'm finally considering an upgrade to an iPhone 12 Pro if/when they get announced in a few weeks.

Think what you should have said, your Xs has poor battery life. My Xs is two years old and it stands at 95%.

No kidding. That’s terrible life. I bought my certified preowned xs max last February and it’s still at 100%. When I got my 3rd 7 it dropped two points in 6 months. Iirc it’s at 83% and coming up to it’s 3rd winter and gets abused by my kids.
