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

Been sat at 97% for a while now, launch day PM. Had been starting to worry about the battery but things seem to have improved a lot with iOS 17, for me at least.
Launch day 14Pro. Mine seems to be going down fast in the last few months. It was 94% the day before I installed iOS17. The next day it was 93. Today it’s 92. I charge it every night on a Mophie wireless charger and top it up during the day on an Apple MagSafe. I’m quite a heavy user. Very annoying.
It was 90% when I upgraded to the 15 Pro. The phone was from launch week and I exclusively used the Apple 20w charger every night to charge it.
The cost is not that bad. Just do it! If you do not upgrade your phone often, it will be worth it!😊
It was about the percentage just before I traded my 14 Pro Max for 15 Pro Max during the launch week.
89% on 14 Pro Max, 98% on 14 Pro. Both are from release day, or within a couple of days of release day.
The variance in last years Pro Max 14 battery life is wild. People either have 100-98% left or 91-88% left. I was in the latter group and happy to be sailing with the new iPhone 15 Pro Max. It is so much lighter and didn’t realize how much the titanium would feel different. The overheating issues are overstated and I would encourage anyone to upgrade especially dealing with bad battery life in the former model.
99% battery health on my launch day iPhone 14 Pro. Have been fast- and wireless charging since day 1, too.
Another % down in 2 weeks. More than that though, I just seem to be charging so much more often than I did when I got the phone.
Another month gone, I'm now at 85%. At this pace, I should be down to 80% by Thanksgiving. Insanity.
For those that have done battery replacements, what was your experience? Do they do it right at the Apple Store? I’m a bit wary of my phone being returned with scratches and generally looking like it was taken apart.

Yes, can take up to a couple hours though so be prepared to wait
If you have a spare phone/camera, take photos of the phone at the store before you hand it over to the tech so you can contest any post-replacement scratches/damage. I wouldn't worry about the phone being 'taken apart' as Apple restore the water proofing adhesive as part of the battery replacement process.
i think ill pay that when it finally drops below 80%. at the minute its hanging on to 87%.
I don’t believe for a second that the way I’ve been using and charging my phone for the past year has somehow been more detrimental to my battery’s health than others who are still at 98-100%. So with my battery currently at 85%, should I believe that “Optimized Battery Charging” is a gimmick or that some phones out there have much lower quality batteries than others? I suspect the latter and am wondering if anyone is looking into this?
99% today. 8 month old 14PM, mainly MagSafe charging.
Don’t know if it’s bad or not, but still have loads of juice left in end of the day usually after heavy use.

100%. Bought in December 2022, charged only with USB-C cable, most of the time in my car while using Car Play.
