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

Launch day 14 Pro. 100% capacity. I use wireless charging via official MagSafe chargers. Probably the lowest it ever gets is 50%.
Similar experience here. Launch day 14P at 93% and gonna start tracking daily because it was at 99% about two months ago.
I would post more detail about charging habits and ambient temps, but honestly those variables shouldn’t have such a big impact on a $1,000+ device
iPhone 14 Pro battery health and capacity complaints mount - 9to5Mac
iPhone 14 Pro users are growing increasingly concerned about the state of their iPhone’s battery health. A number of iPhone...

My 14Pm at 91% btw
My launch day 14 Pro Max is now at 87% battery health. Can’t believe it has dropped another percent since last week.
Mine is 98% after almost a year which is totally fine. My iPhone doesn't need to live longer than me, or even beyond a few years.
Launch day 14 Pro here - I was *shocked Pikachu face* yesterday when I saw battery capacity was down to 93% and it‘s down to 92% today?! Something’s not right. (I exclusively charge with the 20W iPad charger every day (non wireless)).
I have a launch day 8 Plus here, heavily used and abused, that sits at 83% lol

No it most certainly is not completely normal. Not in 12 months. Nobody can realistically expect 100% after 12 months but 75% is far from normal.
Well I replaced the battery in my 12PM as i am giving it away. Went to the Apple store and they made an appointment (totally unnecessary as you could just leave it). Came back and they had the battery and proceeded to test it even though I just wanted the battery replaced. Then they took photos of it. I suppose some would claim they messed up the phone when they got it back.
Anyway, everyone was surprised I actually wiped the phone - as if that never happened before. Then they told me to come back in four hours.
Came back and the phone was repaired. I was amazed that the screen protector was in one piece, but there were two slight cracks you could only see at an angle so I replaced it anyway.
It’s at 103.5% and made last October so it’s been sitting for awhile.
Anyway the nightmare is over! You would think replacing your battery was like open-heart surgery. People look at the battery health as if it was a life clock. If it gets old just replace it (the battery) and move on. I would replace the battery now so you can’t bitch about it and buy the new iPhone 15 - or is that the plan? Ha!

Mine has now dropped 6% in 2 weeks 😂
Shocking battery life as well, not happy at all compared to the 13 Pro which was a beast.
Unacceptable.

14PM bought last November. I use various fast charges and wireless chargers. 91%
My launch day 14 Pro is now down to 93%. I’m a fairly heavy user and charge overnight on a wireless charger, as well as an Apple USB-C charger that came with my old 11 Pro at work, just to give it a minor boost. When I traded in my 13 Pro last year, it was down to 91%, so my 14 Pro is pretty much in line with that. For what it’s worth, my wife’s launch day 13 Pro is down to 87%. She’s a pretty heavy user as well.
A month and 10 cycles later, don't think my 14 Plus is faring too well. Never discharged below 30%, Optimised battery charging enabled, only use a 5W charger, no gaming or social media at all. Coconut Battery says battery was manufactured in Feb 2023.. What gives 🤷♂️
this looks completely normal.. battery is meant to go down over time not up. What are u expecting..?
Sure but at that rate? Don’t think a 10% loss in capacity after 29 charge cycles can be considered normal by any stretch of the imagination..
What are you smoking? A 10% loss in overall capacity in 3 months is NOT normal. There’s absolutely no way you can spin this into it being normal.
How’s buying a different charger going to get him back the capacity he/she’s lost? The stuff you read here sometimes…
This! I wasn't entirely sure where george88 was going with the charger comment but I'll address that - Have always used an Apple 5W charger with an Apple USB to lightning cable, so both charger and cable are out of question.
Anyway, I did contact Apple support and as expected got nowhere since the battery capacity is still over 80%
I think I saw another thread where someone paid for a battery replacement for their 14 pro, so I doubt anyone's going to get a free battery replacement from Apple.
Strange mines now been “stuck” on 87% now for a couple of months… was hoping to reach 80% for a warranty, but seemingly not….
