Nice. I will definitely check this out and install it. Where do I go in there to find the battery life?
I've had my 12 PM since launch and it still says 100%. Also been used on all iOS 14 betas and is charged every night.
12 Pro Max , launch day on 91% after 106 cycles. Its getting replaced by Apple shortly. Surely that isn't right for that degradation already after what 6 months.
My launch day 12 Pro is also at 92%. It was at 99% in January and had the most drop the last 2-3 months. I figure by the time its a year old it will be close to 80%.
Let us know if you do because Apple will not replace the battery unless it's 80% or less
Were you able to convince them to replace it? I have Applecare+ so I hope that helps my argument. My battery feels even worse than the 91% it shows. I no longer make it through the day.
My 12 pro battery has dropped to 96%. Seemed quicker than I expected.
My 12 Mini which I purchased at the same time has a battery health of 100%. I use both phones roughly the same amount.
Yes without a issue at all ... told them that my battery is poor compared to my colleagues one who is still at 100%. Also mentioned that the phone gets very hot during charging at times .
Got the replacement up and running already. Just need UPS to pick up the old one.
As of this morning, my 12 Pro Max is now at 92%. (8% drop since late Feb.) 😖
Yeah I did it all online , they called me up and then arranged a replacement after I told them about my battery issues on my iPhone.
Thats great!
Going in store a few months ago after the unexplainable 100% battery drain in 6-7 hours, telling me my battery is fine...then sorry..time's up (These quick, very limited & rushed COVID visits). I know this battery is simply not right. Runs hot, erratic fast draining, no apps showing drain. I rather explain this over the phone or online.
92% now, just under 6 months to me is not normal. I do not care what anyone says!
** And just 55 cycles, c'mon!

Do you mind sharing what links you clicked and steps you took? The option I am choosing now requires me to ship my device for repair so I think I am doing something wrong.
Same here.
I've been keeping a note on this issue:
Battery Health 99% 2/20/21
98% 3/6/21
97% 3/17/21
96% 3/31/21
95% 4/10/21
94% 4/23/21 owned 5 months 19 days
93% 5/5/21
92% 5/19/21
Lame.
As stated above, there are quite a few of us that have some dysfunctional batteries. 😠
I started by using the Apple Support app on the phone. They did a remote diagnostic on the phone and a few texts to and fro regarding about the issues that I'm expecting.
After all of that , they arranged a call back to my mobile number. They called and I explained to them that I was having issues with battery life with my device , mentioned that compared to my friends iPhone his one was at 100% vs my 91% battery health.
Also I mentioned that sometimes my iPhone gets very hot when charging. After confirming my address details , they arranged a replacement iPhone to be sent in advance and for me to send back the old one. All on pre paid UPS delivery. They are collecting the old one today at some point.
I have the same, iPhone 12 mini. Got it on the release date last year. 98%.
I know that batteries degrade overtime and that charging them would speed up this.
But my iPhone 8, which I bought in September 2017 has the same battery health (98%) according to iOS menu option.
I think, if the software displays this correctly, that a battery in 6 months degrades this much. There must be something wrong with it.

I would chat with Apple and get it replaced, there are some replies above from Lustral and he got his replaced.
Good Luck
