I recently replaced my iPhone 6 battery with one purchased from ifixit. Replacing it was easy! My original iPhone 6 battery was at 71% design capacity and battery life was poop!

So here is the Coconut Battery pic showing my ifixit battery stats:

Expected better from an ifixit battery tbh!

EDIT: My phone has been on charge now for a bit after reaching 100% and the design capacity is now at 91%. Will leave it on a bit longer and post another pic...

OK, this appears to be as good as it gets with the ifixit battery:

My iPhone X battery is obvously in 'perfect' as its less than a month old, shows capacity of 2750 vs design 2716 mAh. My 5 year old iPhone 5 is at 1050mAh vs 1440 design capacity, around 28% wear (battery was replaced under warranty in 2nd year).

Also have a 5 year old old iPhone 5, some astonishing numbers here!
Battery - 950 mAh, down from 1440 (30% wear). This is the 2nd battery which is 3 years old.
Cycle count - 1238 !!!

Surely that means you charged the battery twice some days?
