iPhone 15 Pro Max Battery

I have my current phone sometime and noticed my battery life is not as good time for a new phone?

Settings > Battery > Battery Health, what's the Maximum Capacity?

If it's much over 80% - probably the battery is "okay" and maybe some additional troubleshooting needed on battery life.

If much below that - probably time for a new battery or new iPhone.

Just because the battery is starting to die off does not make the phone bad. If you have been very happy with the phone then just get a new battery installed to restore the phone. I did this for my 15 Pro and it now has a battery health of 105% and lasts all day. I still daily use my 15 Pro because I have been pleased with this device.

My battery health is 88%

That is still not bad. I discovered the battery installed in my pre-owned Blue Titanium 15 Pro (purchased from Amazon renewed) was a boosted battery so I ordered a new high capacity diagnostic compatible 3419mAh SUNWODA battery to install and performed the battery replacement service myself. I have all the tools necessary to perform Apple service level repairs on my own iPhones.

For reference my second Blue Titanium 15 Pro purchased directly from Apple, has a 3366mAh SUNWODA battery providing that device with 103% battery health.

I wouldn't worry about needing a new battery on your iPhone until the battery health reaches 80% range.

I had my iPhone 13 battery replaced by Apple at 87%. Get a new iPhone if you want, but all you need is a battery service.

What you're experiencing is normal. 88% is still a decent number -- I'd just relax and keep using the device. But if you want to replace it replace the battery (as others have already said) and not the phone. You'll save a lot of $$$ -

My 15 Pro battery is right at 80% health with over 1000 cycles. Apparently it needs to hit 79% before AppleCare will replace it :/ Anyway, I find Low Power Mode is super helpful if I’m gonna be away from power for a chunk of time.

edit: it FINALLY hit 79% so I could get the battery swapped out free under AppleCare. Weirdly, I didn't get any kind of alert when it did, though. Had to notice it when I checked manually.

88% in itself does not seem like a reason to change the phone. I would first check whether the battery has really degraded, or whether it was just after an iOS update or some changes in usage that the battery life became worse. For example, my phone started to live noticeably less after one major update, although Battery Health almost did not change. Only when after a while it was necessary to change the battery, I installed a Deji battery, and then it became clear that the old battery was also making its contribution. If the phone itself suits you, I would definitely not rush to buy a new one.

Your usage pattern, iOS 26, or both.

You give absolutely no relevant information, so that’s all I have.
