I've had my iPhone 12 since November and it is at 91% health. So far this has been the worst battery I've had. It regularly drains down to around 20% on my work days. None of my other iPhones ever got that low with the same usage.
Got a tip for us?

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.
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! 😠)

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.
Yeah, 12 Pro Max. Got the phone in Nov. This started in late Feb. - dropped to 99%.
Been a steady decline since.
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.

I think 5W is the best way to do. MagSafe heats up back of the iPhone thus degrades the battery.
Just dropped to 96% on my 12 pro. That’s a 4% drop in three weeks. Apple really has screwed something up.
Mine dropped to 95% this evening, after 1 week: every week since 5/6 weeks ago my iPhone 12 Pro , drops 1%.
I am very disappointed!
