iPhone 12 Pro Max Has any other 12 pro max users experienced a significant decline in battery capacity?

I went from like 93% to 90% in two weeks. Got my phone on launch day. I haven’t ever had a phone dip this fast before. Apple doesn’t seem to want to do much about it because it passes the battery tests.

Mmm I have the PM since launch day and my battery capacity is still at 100%. Maybe there is issues specific to your device?

Lots of posts about this in the forums. It’s happening to quite a few people it seems.

Just checked mine, still at 100% health. I plug mine into charge every night and take it off charge every morning. With additional charging when connected to my car for CarPlay a couple of times a week.

Sadly, that won’t fix much. People will continue the compulsion with apps such as coconutBattery like they do already with iPads.

Launch day 12 pro max at 92%.

Launch week pro max still at 100%. Wirelessly charged each night with battery optimization on

Launch day Pro Max, 100%.

On and off the betas, charging wirelessly with MagSafe.

Always believed battery health readings are a load of crap, aren’t accurate at all.

There's a serious battery life bug in 14.6 for some users..

How long is your battery lasting? Is it noticeably lasting less and less daily? Or still the same as when you got it?

Got the 12 Pro Max in Nov. I started posting about this in March, after a crazy 100%-0% drain overnight in late Feb. Battery health was at 99%, thought that was odd but it didn't bug me. Genius Bar couldn't explain the 100% drop. I wiped the phone out and started over. Few days later 98% health.

I stopped using the MagSafe 20W charger thinking this was causing the problem, apparently not. Today, it's 87% Health. I'm having a 1% drop every 7-9 days now, so I actually expect 86% by tomorrow. Apple still claims "phone - battery is normal" (I disagree) but the won't do anything until battery hits this magical 80% health number. It's deflating and beyond frustrating!

Many are having the same issue.. Personally iOS 14.6 has not helped with everyday battery drain. I did find a few apps running 24/7 in the background (like Mail, Podcasts - which I dont use.) Forced closed Mail, deleted Podcast. Thought it helped for a day? But something else is still draining it. I see "Home and Lock Screen" use high % even though the screen is off.

*On my iPad Pro running 14.6, battery will drain way way down even though it's plugged in. 😒
