iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro FINALLY hit 99% battery health after 1.5 years

So here's the story with my daily driver 11 Pro which I was increasingly thinking could have been running on black magic - but it finally hit 99% BH after ~ 1.5 years

I bought it in mint condition 100% BH on Swappa Local last year September 2020 before the 12 series came out. The original owner had it since release in October of 2019. I've used this 11 Pro just like all my previous phones before it, and most recently before it I had a Galaxy S10 and OnePlus 7 Pro which both felt like they had much worse battery life after only 6 months each, so I went back to iPhone. Now after owning this for almost a year the battery life is still amazing! Still getting 6-8h of SOT even with heavy camera usage/google maps + the summer heat. So even if the BH% isn't accurate I am still getting great battery which is what matters. I also use the official battery case on occasions.

My charging habits aren't all that special - only if I notice i unplug before hitting 80% and try not go below 20%, so usually I'm just charging like most people.

edit: to add in previous versions of iOS 14 the BH was calibrated as according to Apple it wasn’t accurate on the 11 series, but even after all that I still had 100% it wasn’t until last week July 1st that it finally hit 99 on iOS 14.6

I noticed it July 1st I usually checked the BH% daily. Here’s a screenshot for the record books.
+ some recent screenshots of my usage where I used roughly 100%
Note that some of these days the phone was going purely off the battery case hence the activity but no battery usage.

Very cool story. Not sure why so many people are reporting about the battery % going down so fast.
