iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro battery health

I bought iPhone 12 Pro at the first possible day and now I have 90% of battery health. It is so ridiculous. First iPhone I have problem with.

I also have more than 100 cycles and 90%. I don't care about charging because we have many more troubles and cases than thinking about charging. Especially that Apple said "hey we will take care of your battery" I don't see it.
In Poland we have only authorized services. Anyway in the past when I had problem with iP 6 they've changed my battery without any problem. Moreover they didn't do any trials. I hope it will works also this time because it look strange. I am worried because it look like most of us won't reach 80% during warranty (maybe just after) unless it will start to drop even faster 😉

My launch 12 pro max dropped to 90%. I took it into apple. The guy helping me agreed that wasn’t normal and was going to ask his boss about a free replacement. His boss said no so I paid the $69. I paid it and now I have great battery life again.

how have you been charging yours? magsafe? other wireless? lightning?

Only with lightning and once a day when it reaches 30% besides when I am driving and it automatically charges. I decided to stay away from wireless charging because I still think that totally screwed the battery on my old XS Max. (I used to wake up with a hot phone many times)

Yay, 6 more % until I get the free replacement. 🙄

(Drain overnight off charger was a whopping 19%...just sitting on my desk. Normal battery drain during daily use has been dramatically affected. What a mess! 😠)

My iPhone 12 Pro Max I got in November. Down to 97%.

My question is. If you use the 20w apple charger, would that make the capacity drain faster?

or should I stick with the regular charger?

Mine is now at 97%. I’m just going to keep a battery pack with me to charge up and have my battery replaced by Apple once I hit 80%. I’m paying monthly for AppleCare+ so I don’t need to worry about hitting 80% before the 2 year mark.

The real reason for your iPhone terrible battery life and overheating issues.

We shouldn't have to use a ad blocker or content blocker so we can use this great forum without our iPhones batteries draining so quickly and our iPhones getting way to hot. The amount of ads on here have gotten ridiculous, is the site owner planing on reducing the ads? Or making the site more...

My 12 pro also dropped to 99% in late February. I wonder if there is pattern here or was it an update that was released. Battery currently sits at 95%.

Nope, I *don't have any ad blockers installed on the phone. Heck, I don't even surf / post on this site with my phone.

Always use my desktop browsing MacRumors.

Just a quick update: Launch day 12 PM, iOS 14.6, 137 charge cycles, 99.9% Magsafe charging, Still 105% health. My experience with Magsafe is that it NEVER degrades battery life quicker than wired charging
