iPhone 14 Pro Whats your iPhone 14 Pro battery capacity? Mine is down to 94%

Less than a year old and down to 94%? Something isn’t right here. Heck, my 14PM is still at 100%.
i use a mixture of chargers at home and work, have used wireless in the past but not often.
96% here, launch day.
Just use it, charge it when you need to and get the battery replaced when that time comes (less than 80% health or when it says service). In the meantime I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Launch day 14 Pro Max still at 100% using a mixture of 3rd-party-chargers from Anker (65W), another Anker (20W) and UGreen (65W) as well as wireless charging via my car’s build in Qi-Charger.
Similar. Wired charging when using my car (CarPlay) and Magsafe wireless charging at night, optimized battery charging ON. I don’t pay any attention to my battery use, and usually end the day with 30-40% battery. Typical screen time: 6+ hours per day, as I use it for work, planning and communicating. 14 Pro Max.
102%, pre-launch day.
Some of us just know how to treat a battery right.

95% here on a launch model, it's a battery, use it and replace it once it ages out.
Launch 14 Pro Max is at 98%. It’s the first time I’ve used a fast charger, and first iPhone to go under 100% within 6 months :/
I’ll probably go back to the 5W charger on my next non-max iPhone. Takes forever to charge the max with it though…

I do think there's some manufacturing variance from battery to battery. From what I understand, iPhones will stay at 100% for along time because the percentage is actually over 100% (the actual charge capacity is higher than the "rated" capacity). Then, they'll start dropping below 100% and will continue to. In reality, the percentage was always dropping, you just didn't know it because all you saw was "100%." Some iPhones, fresh off the production line, have 105% battery, some have 110% battery.
YES, usage and good/bad charging habits will also impact battery health. But I believe the above paragraph is also true.
I believe that's why some people can do everything right and have 95% gone after 6 months, and why others can adopt the same charging habits and still be at 100%.
FWIW, I've had my iPhone SE for a year and it's down to 92%. It was at 100% for like six months or more. Been falling like a rock ever since!
