Still 100%, running latest public beta, charged to 100% every night since launch, regardless of how much juice is left before bed

Launch day 14 PM and it's at 99%. I charge my phone at night to 100% with a wired 5W charger

Launch day 14 Pro Max still at 100% using a mixture of 3rd-party-chargers from Anker (65W), another Anker (20W) and UGreen (65W) as well as wireless charging via my car’s build in Qi-Charger.

14Pm 100% bought on launch. I use the 20w charger.
Similar. Wired charging when using my car (CarPlay) and Magsafe wireless charging at night, optimized battery charging ON. I don’t pay any attention to my battery use, and usually end the day with 30-40% battery. Typical screen time: 6+ hours per day, as I use it for work, planning and communicating. 14 Pro Max.

102%, pre-launch day.

Some of us just know how to treat a battery right.

Launch 14 Pro Max is at 98%. It’s the first time I’ve used a fast charger, and first iPhone to go under 100% within 6 months :/

I’ll probably go back to the 5W charger on my next non-max iPhone. Takes forever to charge the max with it though…

I do think there's some manufacturing variance from battery to battery. From what I understand, iPhones will stay at 100% for along time because the percentage is actually over 100% (the actual charge capacity is higher than the "rated" capacity). Then, they'll start dropping below 100% and will continue to. In reality, the percentage was always dropping, you just didn't know it because all you saw was "100%." Some iPhones, fresh off the production line, have 105% battery, some have 110% battery.

YES, usage and good/bad charging habits will also impact battery health. But I believe the above paragraph is also true.

I believe that's why some people can do everything right and have 95% gone after 6 months, and why others can adopt the same charging habits and still be at 100%.

FWIW, I've had my iPhone SE for a year and it's down to 92%. It was at 100% for like six months or more. Been falling like a rock ever since! :p
