Launch day 12 pro
Maximum Capacity 91%
Cycle count 150
Biggest power draw has always been the Phone App.
Always cable charged, on a 10watt iPad adapter
Phone is placed on charger at end of every day
It has only given me a 10% low power warning about 4-5 times usually because of extended night/travel.
So the battery hasn’t been abused or used beyond its limitations
If the technology had improved I would expect Maximum capacity to be between 94-96%
If the battery was a low ball product or failing 89% or worse
A years use, should be in the 90% range, with a pro Max high 90’s since bigger battery.
Two years use, mid to low 80’s to say within Apples extended warranty cycle
After that you’re getting 4/5 to 2/3 of the capacity you started with which is annoying
If the phone ever gets down to 60%, capacity begins to drop like a rock to zero
‘Either way it’s leaving September the 24.

‘Overheating where you get a high temp warning or it shuts down, no.
Getting unusually warm, all the time, especially with ANY direct sunlight hitting it.
Since moving it away from the windshield to a cup holder mount its much better.
Launch day 12 Pro - 85%...I spoke to Apple and they said my battery is operating "normally." Didn't want to replace it. So I guess I'll be upgrading. Just need to see these phones in person or unboxing videos when those start happening...colors are awful across the board with the 13 and 13 Pros.

Especially when Apple says never drain to 0% or charge to 100% ??? not gonna wake up in the middle of night just to make sure my iPhone doesn’t fully chargeWhile I know we are all as of yet above the 80% Apple considers “normal”, these fairly similar results across the board are pretty disappointing given the age of the devices, as is their canned response given the cost of these iPhones.
That being said, I have the iPhone 13 Pro preparing to ship as I type this. I guess it’s time to admit I have a problem, which is the first step to recovery
I try not to be the conspiracy theorist on most things, but something tells me the software knows to not go below 80% capacity until it is somewhat below 80% capacity. So I doubt we will see a lot of people getting battery exchanges right near the end of the AppleCare period on these phones.

Has a similar ring to “just don’t hold it that way
”
Launch day 12 Pro down to 88.3%. 94% to 88% in one month. Another 2 months at this rate and I'll be due a new battery.
My launch 12 Pro Max is at 88% and the battery doesn’t last the full day. I have an appointment tomorrow for a replacement. I’m guessing if they won’t do a warranty replacement I’ll have to pay $69?
