Series 6 Battery Health

My S6SS is at 98%. Will be a year in 2 weeks time. I have never used AOD, 1-2 workouts a day. When I charge in the mornings it is between 50-60%.

I think AOD hammers the battery life. I have an S5 purchased in the sale at the start of this year and it is at 91%. On course to drop below 80% before my AppleCare+ runs out.

My launch day S5 dropped over the two years I've had it pretty quickly, but has stayed at 82% for the last sixth months or so. My 2-year AppleCare + warranty expired so I went month to month for $3.99 month in case the battery drop below 80%.

Interesting, I tend to do a workout every day so gps runs it down (longish bike or shorter run with AirPods) and it is around 15% at roughly the same time every evening when I put it on the charger.
 
My AW5 went to 80% in 2 years, I got it replaced just at the end of my AppleCare+. Did a lot of training tracking. Now I have a new watch, so cannot complain.
 
When I sold my AW4 after 1yr 8 months the battery health was 89%.
My current series 5 10.5 months old is already at 89% :-/

Seeing people’s battery health here for the S6 proved my hypothesis that at least some S6 have poor batteries that degrade very quickly. Just like the iPhone 12.

Agreed. My iPhone 12 Pro went down to 89% in the 9 months I have used it.

Mine was down to 91% in half a year. No other iPhones has been this bad. (12 Pro Max)

For me, it's always like that. Every year I go to Apple and ask them to replace the battery. But I'm still on the iPhone SE og. Each year I'm like maybe next year (for replacement). I just don't see the point. Maybe if they come with a mini led display like the new Macbook Pro... And that they put it in the mini, if not, maybe the following year :)

Having a fresh battery every year makes all the difference.

They already have OLED screen on the 13 mini? Which is technically better than mini-LED except peak brightness?


Unsurprisingly, iPhone 13 mini doesn’t feature the ProMotion display found on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. Instead, just like its predecessor, it features a 5.4-inch OLED display.
 
It’s dropped to 86% now, Apple Watch SE.


Mmh quite fast and I notice the shorter battery life daily.
 
My S5 battery is collapsing quite badly now. Purchased 13 months ago, now 86%, I am just about getting the 18hrs stated life but 8hrs of that the watch is in sleep (bedtime) mode.
