Launch day 14 Pro at 95%.

Charges on a Nomad Stand One MagSafe charger if I need it during the day and plugs into an Apple 20W charger at night with optimized battery charging on.
 
I am also @ 92% - purchased on launch day. I checked not so long ago and was at 96% for a while... Now suddenly down to 92. I kept my iPhone Xs for 4 years... Had to replace the battery once, around 2 years old. But at this rate I don't think I'll make it 2 years with my 14 Pro.
 
I have a 14 Pro Max bought in November.

Down to 94% Battery Health.

Mixture of wired & MagSafe Charging.
 
14PM, 93%

not thrilled but whatever, as long as it stays well above 80% like high 80s for the time that I use it, its ok.

it does seem to drop a percent more frequently though … when it was 100% for the longest time. Ugh.
 
My launch day 14 Pro is still at 100% - I can tell you that I'm not doing any special charging techniques, I'm not using 5w chargers nor am I charging to only 80%. I charge with MagSafe or a USB-C PD charger when it needs to be charged. I don't have enough time / mental capacity to worry about charging my phone with asterisks.
 
The battery on 2 month old iPhone 14 plus has been degrading at an alarming rate after only 19 cycles. Methinks 16.5.1 has been a dumpster fire or the 14 series has just shipped with dud batteries

Not impressed with my launch day 14 Pro. Down to 88% now, lowest ever had, and the battery life is no where near what I’ve had in past with my iPhones. Always worried won’t last a day.

Feel this year something is different, with the battery, iOS, battery management, chip, or something. Definitely worse.

Wasn’t going to upgrade, especially if more hikes in price, have AC+ but need 80%? Has anyone ever been to Apple with above 80% and got it changed?

Not sure if it’s just this year’s iPhone that is worse than before or something else, just seems a lot more discussion on lower battery heath and complaints than normal

Got mine on Launch day, 98%. Sits on an Anker magsafe charging station most of the day/night other than when I am out or at the office 2 days each week. Turn it off when I go to bed.

Mine is at 99%. I use the regular wall charger with the USB-C (not sure the wattage), and my car charger anytime I’m in the car because of CarPlay.
 
I think that the use 5w charger etc is kinda stupid since I‘ve been using mine a lot and it only dropped to 99%.

I guess the 1% is due to me being in homeoffice the past year

I usually stop charging at approx. 80% and when it cools down, I restart
 
iPhone 14 Pro launch day @ 97%. Initially used magsafe but now use cable charging.
Noticed it dropped after 2-3 days of heavy use in summer heat.

11" iPad Pro 2019 @ 84%

I dont do any fancy charging. I just plug in whenever, and leave it until i need it.

Launch day iPhone 14 Pro down to 93%. Never had an iPhone with less than 99% left after 1 year. :oops:
 
Launch 14PM and still at 100%. I charge wirelessly every night, so have never done anything special to preserve battery health.
