Launch day 14Pro with battery health at 93%. My battery has been atrocious lately, I hit 30/40% by 4 or 5pm. I do use my phone a lot but my battery has never been this bad. My wife is a very light user, her launch day 14Pro is at 99% and her battery isn't as bad but its not great.
 
I have a launch day 14Pro. Battery health is down to 99%. I am a heavy user and charge it overnight on a non MagSafe wireless charger overnight and occasionally top it up during the day on an Apple MagSafe charger. I probably charge it too much. I’m happy with 99% though. The battery doesn’t drain quickly at all.
 
I got my iPhone 14 pro max launch day and it's still at 100% battery health. I will say that I have AOD turned off and when I am at home I am on wifi most of the time. I also don't charge my phone overnight every night. Sometimes I go a day and a half before charging again.

Don’t know guys how you manage to have still 99% battery health after near a year… never seen anything like that on any of the iPhones I had… and I always were really careful with slow charging and 20-80 “rule”.

Anyway, with my day one iPhone 14 Pro I always tried to adhere to the 20-80 rule but charged it with both apple MagSafe and 20w charging brick, the result:

89% battery life after 9 months. I always need to recharge it before going out at night, so around 10pm it is at 15-20%

I'm down to 91%, my phone hits 10% around 8pm.. So yeah it sucks.
 
My 14 Pro was sitting at 100% until maybe June? Then like clockwork it has pretty much dropped 1% per month. Now I'm at 96%. Under normal circumstances the battery can get me through the day so I only charge overnight. I'd say majority of the time optimized charging kicks in but there have been periods of weeks at a time where it just won't activate. I've charged via MagSafe for maybe half of the phone's life but I didn't like how hot the phone gets so I've switched back to lightning.

Bought last October. 14 Pro with 104%. Current Max 3318 Original Max 3181. 141 cycles. I use a shortcut to remind me to stop charging at 90%. I also shut off my phone while I sleep. I figure my phone is on an average of 16 to 18 hrs/day. So 1/3 of the time its off. Could care less if its off.

Launch day 14P and I’m at 91% battery health. Has been dropping around 1% every few weeks for the past few months now. Sucks to start the day with 100% charge and be at 20-30% by 5pm. I’m a light-moderate user.

Same here, 90%. If I have 30-35 by mid of the day I'm lucky lol
 
Down to 96% now, when I checked yesterday it was 97, last week still 98%. I don't even dare to look anymore.

Exactly like mine! Release date 14 Pro was on 100% some days ago. Now, at 97% in the blink of eye.

I just charge my phone whenever I want with MagSafe and never worry about it. My 13 Pro Max was at 99% after a year, and my 14 Pro Max is also at 99% now.

Free yourself lol.
 
Bought mine start of April last year, it dropped to 99% in March this year then 97% May then as of now 92%

The battery has been so awful the last couple of weeks charge it to 100% and it’s down to 89% in less then a hour

I know the new iPhones are due out is it something Apple does to make us think our phones are behaving so bad so we upgrade to there latest one? Cause it feels like it đź’©
