From what I'm seeing this affects mostly Max models. From what I know, the bigger batteries are made by Sunwoda. Meanwhile the smaller batteries found in Pro are by Desay. My day one 14P is still at 100% (Desay battery in 3uTools).
Got a tip for us?

Yep, then the same crowd complains about getting a late October delivery date when they put their iPhone order in.
“Why didn’t Apple stock up more units??”
along with, it could cost more, the max will be limited supply, major improvements to speed, cameras, battery life and durability..
Meh … forget slimmer bezels just create the new “dynamic sinkhole”. Have a cutesy stock-ticker that floats around the bezel thus obscuring the bezel. Problem solved!

Strange, I've got 100% on my launch day device. You might be a defective battery or have overheated it.
People tend to forget that LG Electronics and LG Display are not one and the same. The same goes for Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display.
LG Electronics > Samsung Electronics.
LG Display < Samsung Display.
You know why they put out the same rumor every year? To make the phone appear more special then it is, to drive up the demand...because people fall for it every single time..."I got the latest iphone and you dont and its rare" and everyone else then tries to get it to feel special too and thus they sell more!
So guess we should no longer take Wamsi Mohan with Bank of America's prediction of a delay with caution?

iPhone 15 Launch Could Be Delayed Until October, Claims BoA Analyst
Apple's launch of the iPhone 15 series could be delayed by a "few weeks," pushing the debut of the company's next-generation...

I was just about to say that. Every launch has been constrained
Yup. I also have a 14 Pro purchases in December which is still at 100%
I am seriously considering just skipping the iPhone 15 considering much of what was rumored for it is now rumored for iPhone 16 (if not iPhone 17) and my iPhone 14 Pro Max still is 110% capable of meeting every one of my needs.
Even though I am on the iPhone Upgrade Program so my monthly rate could be the same (unless Apple does raise the base price as rumored), it would still save me the 10% sales tax hit plus the fee AT&T charges every time I upgrade.
My mini was 88% at 7 months and Apple ran diagnostics remotely and said it was normal. I was not happy with that answer. That’s an eighth of the battery capacity for a near $1000 device at just half a year old.
The Information articles are about trustworthy as DigiTimes. Just take in their claims with pessimism.

The rumors of production issues for the iPhone 13 were true though. The 13 Pro had up to a 1 month shipping delay.
Read through the iPhone 13 availability mega thread to see all the people who had trouble getting the iPhone 13 they wanted.
I see your 12 and raise you an XS. Still does everything I need it to do, I’ll wait until the 16s are out and then pick up a used 15 pro.
Tin foil hat on, but I feel like they adjust these degredation curves JUST right so you see it at 90ish exactly 1 year later and think, wow I should upgrade
Nothing to see here, just the same rumor they roll out every year a few months before launch...
DITCH The Horrible LG Displays and rely solely on Samsung who is very reliable and better performance.
If the supply constraints are as bad as they say, then plan to order it like a couple of hours after launch so you can have a late September delivery window.
Making 30+ million of anything is extremely hard.
