iPhone SE (2016) Maximum capacity

[AntonisReverse]

okay so I bought my iPhone 2.5 months before and I just checked today the maximum capacity and it says 99%.
Does this make any sense , considering the fact that I take care of my phone ? I take the mobile case out when charging , I avoid to plug it in all the time , I avoid overheating etc

“Taking care” is a subjective thing. A lot of people think they’re taking care but really are harming the battery by doing certain things. Although 99% after 2 months sound ok, depending on your usage pattern.

Not sure if “taking care” helps or not as my X still shows 100% and has been in service since last November. All I do is toss it on the wireless charger before bed.

Yep, my 8 Plus shows 100% as well and has been in service since last October. All I do is charge when I feel like. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What were you realistically expecting, the battery to last forever?

1% is plenty strong, and probably well within the tolerance of the measurement of the capacity.

Seems like we have threads like this every week.

Don't pay attention to that beta battery capacity setting until it drops below 90%.

I know heat affects things… 🙄

We have a car with broken power windows and broken A/C. In order to prevent interior theft when the vehicle is parked the windows can't be rolled down. So, from May to late September in Phoenix summer heat, I have a rolling sauna. Almost three years of this has affected the battery on my 6s+.
