My iPhone XS that I’ve had since launch day last year is already at 89% battery health. Is this normal? If I bring it to Apple will they do anything about it? I normally charge at night on a wireless charger.
Got a tip for us?

Launch XS Max on 92% here also largely used with wireless charger. Thinking it may be the heat from the wireless charging, offsetting any benefits seen through charging it 'more slowly'.

My launch day X was at 89% a year after release. How fast do your iPhone deplete during a typical day for you? Do you have to charge several times a day?
I know you asked about an XS. But I have an X and it tanked fast to 89% and then just quit going down. I'm not sure when it will down again but it has been at 89% for a really long time. I have heard Apple won't replace unless it goes before 79%. Not sure if that is true or not.
I decided to stop worrying about battery health. My XS is at 92% after 10 months, but my phone is working just fine. I can’t tell any difference in performance from when I first got it. Unless it drops below 80% or you notice significant performance decline, then don’t worry about battery health. Apple won’t do anything if it’s 80% or above. I used to check it regularly but decided to quit looking at. If your phone works fine, who cares what the battery health is. Also, from what I have read it’s not completely accurate anyway.

My launch day MAX is still showing 100%

How much do you have remaining, on the average, when at end of the day and put on the charger?

How many hours a day do you use your phone. There’s no way a heavy user can still be at 100 after almost a year.

I agree, but my last two new iPhones did the same. When I put my phone on the charger before bedtime, it usually has about 40-50% remaining. I do not consider myself a heavy user, somewhere in the average user range.

I’ve mentioned this in two threads now, but, after a restore my launch Xs went from 93% back to 95%.
The battery health reading is not very accurate. 🙂
Was a bit of a hassle to erase all content and settings but it’s given me a better reading of what my battery is up to. I think the software may improve with ios 13 hopefully.

Launch Day XS Max still shows 100%. Also using Apple Smart Battery case, and still shows 100%.
