iPhone 11 Battery life degradation so soon in phones?

[Spudlicious]

Use your phone, enjoy your phone. Don’t let things like battery bother you. It’s meant to be used.

Well said. We should just use our phones/tablets/computers as we wish, not fret over them as if they were intensive care patients. To the OP I say this, if you fancy a new iPhone and can afford it then splash the cash, scratch that itch. You deserve a treat, honestly you do.

how did you came to this conclusion as it makes no sense at all to me.
how long do you keep a phone ? 2 years? sure then it won't matter.

my iPhone 4 is now 10 years old and i still see no reason to upgrade, the battery lasts for a day easily.

And my 3.5 year old SE needed a battery replacement at two years and needed to be recharged by noon when I traded it in before Thanksgiving.

How do you use your phone? Do you spend much time online with it? Any Bluetooth/wireless devices? Do you travel while using it?

I'm thinking of buying a new iPhone 11 or 11 Pro, but there's one thing that concerns me a lot these past few days.

I've currently for a Huawei P20 that I've been using for the past year and a half, and I've recently noticed that battery life isn't as good as at the beginning, when I was getting over 5 hours of screen on time. Now I'm at 3:30.

So, obviously, this means battery health has gone down, which is natural. Batteries degrade over time. But this soon is it normal to lose 2 hours of screen on time? In less than 2 years?

So, if I buy an iPhone, which costs 1.000€ in some cases, I wouldn't want this to happen again in such an expensive phone. My P20 cost 400€, and I really don't want to be forced to buy a new 400/800€ phone every 2 years because battery life isn't as good anymore.

With a phone so expensive as an iPhone that would really hurt. So what do you guys do to avoid this? I want to keep the phone for 4 years, hopefully.

How much does it cost to replace the battery for a new one? Does dust get under the screen if they replace the battery for a new one?

Do people that spend 1000€ in a phone don't worry about this? I can't buy a new 1000€ phone every 2 years. It's insane.

Thanks!

My iPhone SE lasted just under four years with one battery replacement and could have lasted another two had I replaced the battery again.

I used it heavily, including streaming while driving and often with Bluetooth headphones.

You'll be fine.

i don't use facebook/twitter/whatsapp & co, rarely a call. mainly Mail/listening to music,some browsing,maps,imessage/facetime. no bluetooth.

we have about 20 mobile apple devices here in our family and the androids we had, all have a dead battery.
only 1 person left with android now, he replaced his battery 2 times after getting fast charging.
now he's on a new huawei. battery replacement is no longer diy on that so..

what i also noticed i never saw someone sell his used android phone after the usual 2-3 year usage.
theres always something broken.

whats also interesting is that provider contracts cost more than the phone for 80-90% of users
