99% today. 8 month old 14PM, mainly MagSafe charging.

Don’t know if it’s bad or not, but still have loads of juice left in end of the day usually after heavy use.
What's the usage you put your phone through? Is your brightness always at max and did you turn off the "auto turn-off display" setting?

Mine was always at max and I did not turn that feature off and also always charging through MagSafe and my 14 Pro Max was at 86% in September.

It doesn't matter much anymore since I upgraded to the 15 Pro Max already but would like to know so I can take a little more care of this one lol.

My launch day 14 Pro Max is at 87%. Yikes, I did not know that. I haven’t opened the battery app probably since the first week I got the phone. I didn’t really notice the loss of battery capacity either. It gets down to around 65% daily, gets charged on a MagSafe charging stand every night. It’s getting traded in on the 15 PM for Christmas, so I can’t say I’m too worried about the battery.

Well haven’t thought so much about it tbh, but with quite a bit of variation the phone gets through a lot of screen on time, currently average is a little over 8h but (have been higher), daily use of Waze without charging, work calls, etc etc. Have 50% left now at 11pm, have no complaints there.

Left my screen on auto-brightness and always on display on default, like most setting actually. Just been using the phone as I like and haven’t been thinking so much about it really.

Just use the heck out of it, enjoy, it’s a fantastic peace of tech!

Been sat at 97% for a while now, launch day PM. Had been starting to worry about the battery but things seem to have improved a lot with iOS 17, for me at least.
Down to 93% since I posted this at the end of September. Not great.

Thanks for your feedback, pretty much the same way I use it.
It's still crazy to me how these batteries behave so differently even on the same "workloads" lol.

Launch day iPhone 14 Pro.

Battery health 99%.

I use a 3rd party wireless charger, using the Apple 5W plug. I charge over night, so the potentially slow charging speed is a non-issue.

8 months later down to 90%. So battery health has been dropping 1% every month. No change in charging habits. Somewhat of an unpleasant surprise, I do admit.

My day one 14 Pro is down to 85%. About where I'd expect it to be. 5% every 6 months. Ideally, it'll reach 80% before my AC+ runs out, I'll probably pay the $10/month extra until I get to that point for the battery replacement.

It probably won't, battery degredation is not a straight line, usually faster at start and then tapers off to low for a long time.
