iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro battery health

Launch date iPhone 12 Pro Max: 97 %
No MagSafe. About 8 hours of usage per day (yes I am addicted)
Anker 30W Power Delivery charger. I try to only charge it around the 30 % mark (and not over night) unless I am driving and it automatically charges or know that I am going to leave the house for a longer period of time.

Much better than on my XS Max, which I used to place on the wireless charging mat all the time

Mine is a launch day Pro Max and at 97% as well. I still charge with my old 5W bricks, even though I have a 30W brick from Verizon. I am a heavy user as well. The only time my phone isn’t being used, is when I’m asleep.

Green tint is gone on the replacement I got. Came with 14.4.2 and a new battery from Desay Corporation with 0 cycles, 3835 max charge capacity.

New display definitely looks less yellow with night shift off and true tone on side by side

Got my screen replaced on my 12 pro max, green tint gone, screen looks less yellow, greys and blacks look amazing now, battery health still at 100% launch day purchase.

Battery health doesn't sound accurate at all.

Also got a launch day 12 pro max, use my phone a lot, was using a 30W apple charger, been using the belkin 3-1 MagSafe charger for the last 5 month, charge phone to full every morning, battery life is still 100%.

Sounds like battery health is way off in its readings for some people.

Agreed. I charge my phone exclusively with Magsafe 15W charging and iOS still reports 100% health while iMazing still reports 104% with 155 charge cycles launch day 12PM iOS 14.6. I typically use mine for about 6-8 hours per day. IMO, it's down to battery lottery luck and not from charging methods or usage habits.

Green tint is slowly creeping back in. I'm 98% certain that it started at the bottom and worked its way up.

😳😳😳

If that’s the case then it has to be a software issue.

Third day with the replacement screen, haven’t seen it happen yet.

How many days did you have the phone for before green tint came back?

About 10-12 hours max with 50/50 WiFi and 5G before the 20% low battery warning shows up. Used to be close to 15 hours with iOS 14.2, but starting with 14.5 and later iOS releases are definitely more resource hungry than the prior iOS releases. Interestingly, battery drain overnight is a bit more on 14.6 (about 3-5% drain overnight) compared to 14.2 where I get 0-2% drain overnight

It is that good especially with iOS 14.2 and 14.6 is definitely more intensive in the background which now feels like my battery run time is a bit less than before even though battery capacity reported remains the same. No charging during the day. I only charge 2 hours before I go to bed which ends up to about 80-90% charge magsafe from ~25-40% (depending on usage) and again magsafe charging 30 minutes to 1 hour before I go to work an extra 5-10% more boost (Magsafe slows down charging significantly above 80% charge) that'll last my social media / stocks / YT stream throughout the day. That gives me about 25-90% charge per day on 2 charge sessions. I just don't like my phone on Magsafe for 6 hours at night so I manually "optimize" charge it myself and not rely on iOS to do that
 
Had my Genius bar appointment today. The genius has been experiencing the same issue on 2 of his iphone 12 series phones. He suggested waiting until there is a software fix in the future or until apple can fix it with free battery replacments.
