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

Tom_Aatje said:
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…

if you're not happy with the battery life just buy a new battery..

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 🤷‍♂️

I would continue as you have been and take the data also...at this rate, you'll be below 80% long before the 1 year warranty expires...unless of course it mysteriously flattens out.
 
90%. Launch day 14 Pro, charged overnight on a MagSafe with Optimised Battery Charging turned on.
 
Launch day 14 pro max. At 93%. Always charge wirelessly and use optimized battery charging.

Never lost this much capacity in less than a year.
 
Launch day 14PM is at 92% I just pop it on the MagSafe duo wireless charger overnight.

tbh I hadn’t even looked at or thought about my battery health until I started reading all of the articles about this. I just kind of went about my business, used my phone and didn’t worry about it

I was the same. However the reason I read up as battery this year on my 14 Pro has been worse, with what I class as same usage.

I have to charge through the day as don’t like being left short in case.

I also use the MagSafe Duo mostly

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

Quoting myself to track degradation. Hit 92% today.
 
iPhone 14 Pro, got it the first weekend they came out. Still at 100%. I just use an Anker charger. I have a wireless charger in the car but I don’t use it because it makes the phone hot. I’m not a heavy user. My iPhone is usually at 80-85% capacity at night when I charger it. My iPad on the other hand gets drained and recharged twice a day.

This topic really stirs up some heat. 😅

100%, 14PM, 5 months.
Mostly using MagSafe since the 12, which has seamed better for my phones so far, sometimes usb c quick charge cable in the car.

Basically, IMHO, the battery health % doesn’t matter, whatever the number the phone shows. Apple shouldn’t have introduced this in IOS, and if anybody knows the real story behind it I beg you to enlighten me.

I’m at 95 percent. Just hit today. It was stuck in 97 for a loooong time. Went to 96 few weeks ago and now at 95. It lasts tho- we go to Disneyland a LOT and use the heck out of our phones . And I’m on beta for iOS 17. Honestly it’s just a number. We have apple care anyway.

Yeah, I just get Apple Care and don't really worry so much about the battery health percentage dropping each time I use it. That said, my launch day 14 pro max is at 98% battery health which isn't bad. But I tend to upgrade every 2-3 years anyway.

91%! Unreal

Still think it has something to do with a bug in some way, these weird numbers after installing betas, then actually being so much different compared to other comparable phones. Any chance you could go to an Apple Store and make them run a diagnostic test?

I think it’s just the beta versions of iOS. A not-insignificant amount of users reported battery health loss after installing betas.

I have never installed a beta - my iPhone 14 Pro Max will never get to the alleged 500 cycles Apple promises at 80%
cycle count - 90 battery - 93.1%

contrasted to my iPad Pro 2021:
cycle count - 276 battery - 89.6%
