You do realize that when your phone is 100%, it will read 100% till it is 94% (based on Coconut Battery). so when coconut displays 93% and your phone is 99% that's sounds right. I've had this for all my devices. I would not rely too much on coconut battery.
Got a tip for us?

I think is isolated, I had a lot of trouble at home (in France) to find someone confronted with this problem, before arriving here.
ok i do have a no. of friends who have 13 series & ofc i did check singapore's forums, however none of them mentioned anything weird or maybe if it is, it doesn't exactly bother them becos it can still last people for abt a day if they aren't constantly using - before work/during breaks/after work.
but if this is not acceptable to you/anyone as an apple product & you are within the return period etc, go ahead/if you have other issues.
but yes, there's no guarantee the replacement set is gonna be 'all good' in all terms & especially if you have already pasted screen protector on it like me lol
& unsure of how various countries/how fantabulous or ☹️ service the apple/provider will give = EVEN more frustration.
definitely if you have other phones/wait few months to buy, things might really have no such issues (i mean, who knows becos like yeah they are probably delivering the 'hours' advertised id suppose... / why apple doesn't advertise battery capacity on website for us to be uhm paranoid)
i mean if my phone is persistent with other issues (but do bear in mind that many apps may not be optimised), id return it etc (cos this is actually 1st time im buying apple directly due to absurd telco plans nowadays & reasons for apple directly...)
these are all 'initial release' 'issues' at times.
i was browsing my very old apple orders/emails & i returned engraved red iPod touch several times becos it was always scratched?! & i gave up - chose another colour in the end. (that was many years ago which i sorta forgot)
/ also, replacement set might be a plain box (we duno how they are exactly gonna deal with whatever or are they even allowing you to insist on replacing if past return period)
not 'brand new phone box' which may be some people's concern/in terms of reselling - serial no doesn't tally. (but to be honest, in my country ive always done the express replacement due to battery health aft a yr of usage when i used to have apple care & id just state it on this 'selling marketplace' & i think people don't really care?)
while browsing my country's electronic forum sorta
people asking if to buy apple care & they said nah just case + screen protector is fine unless you crack your phone easily becos it cost like S$369 abt USD$272? & there's no 'yearly added' / they also will not change if your battery if your batt health is above 80% so im like whatever this time after asking friends.
which made me conclude wow such confidence in apple products (also pokemon go players many do use apple iphones becos of how the phone, even older series etc can handle it, no issues)
no, im not convincing anyone to not trouble themselves 😂 & i charged it earlier to 70ish then charged again after consumed some & to 90% & it is not dropping again LOLOL

The hard reset, which I did like a poor moron because I read a post here, just wrecked something, and looks like there's no way for me to make it behave like new again. An hard reset should not cause permanent damage anyway.
If I return within 14 days will be exactly for that reason, not having to deal with warranty. I already did with a 6S and got a worse regen. It's not worth it.

I already tried it this morning to no avail, behaves like before
After you did the DFU did you do a restore from backup or did you try doing a setup as new?
I did restore the backup this time, but luckily I had a backup from Sunday, the day before I did the hard reset, so there can't be any problem I could have "imported"
What I meant was did you try out the battery after the DFU before you did the restore?
I sadly didn't have hours to spare trying that too. But I think the DFU restore should have sufficed. This battery indicator thing must be deeply rooted in the system directories, user data shall not touch it.
Doesn't look like a fix is coming anytime soon, this seems more important apparently. 🤦♂️
I hope everyone is calling apple.

It takes several days/weeks to investigate an issue like this and release an update (checking that it doesn’t break anything else etc.). I don’t expect a fix until at least November. It would be nice to know what it is though. Wasn’t there a calibration procedure added in iOS 14.5 for the iPhone 11s? Maybe it’s something like that. Also Apple said that that procedure needed weeks after installation to finish gathering info…
Apple needs to start focusing less on services, fire their whole iOS software team, put Tim Cook on notice, iOS 15 has been terrible since beta 8.
Anyway, I MIGHT have some not so bad news
The percentage keeps dropping as I use the phone. I already rebooted a couple times before (remember that it has to work regardless, I don't want no workarounds), but I waited many hours before doing it again because I wanted to see if the gap between the real and measured percentage would increase. Well, it didn't. The difference is always around 3/4%. Which is good, and I also checked it by connecting to Coconut a couple times. Also when I did the hard reboot the first time I lost exactly 4%, so probably it was like this even before all of this mess, as someone already hinted.
I'm cautiously optimistic. But I need to wait for midnight in an hour-ish to see if the battery stats will start working again. They didn't with a simple restore, I hope the DFU restore fixed things.
If you want, you can check your battery percentage with Coconut too, the difference should be roughly 4% higher on iOS than Coconut (a friend of mine already confirmed this to me on his too).
Well, let's see

Nope, there’s nothing they could tell me and I don’t want to initiate a replacement process
I will send a report to Apple once I sort this out
I am seeing <2% difference between what the phone is reporting and the Coconut battery app.
Thanks, I remember something like that before, but my friend has 4% and no stuck issues. Weird. I like that is is constant though. If diverged it would be worse
Anyway stats are updated. I used 39% battery today and the daily graph says a little more than 25%. Still not perfect but better than yesterday when it said 5% and I actually used 50%. Maybe tomorrow night it will be better

So I went out for a drive and plugged the 13PM for CarPlay. Phone was charged from 85% to 90% during the trip.
Now the battery % is stuck at 90% despite me using it for 30 mins since unplugging it.
So it's most likely a battery calibration issue that may/may not be linked to a hard reboot.

FFS 🤦♂️ Software issue? My battery percentage is going down, I’m charging my phone to 100% every morning.
Have you restarted your phone since restoring?
OK it's now gone down to 89% but that's after 45 mins of usage. It only lasts that long in the morning after it's reached 100% when I take it off the charger.
No way I'm restarting this thing until iPhone 14.
This is getting really annoying, it’s more widespread than we first thought. 🤦♂️
My battery percentage will drop by 3% when I come back to the phone after a few minutes, something definitely wrong with the percentage reading.
@arn you guys going to write a article about this?
