As we approach the launch on the new iPhones I just wondered what everyone’s battery health is of their launch day or near launch day iPhone 11s? Mine is 91% on my 11 pro. Got last year at launch. Always either fast chargerd or wireless.

My 11 pro is at 90%, it is always charged at night on a slicepro wireless charger. Occasionally during the day if it needs charged then I’ll plug it into the brick that came with it.

Mine still says 100%. That can’t be right.

Mine is also 100%. Always charged with a 12W charger. Average usage around 50% per day.

Yours is wirelessly charged or with a cable? I had been charging X and XS Max wirelessly for a year with battery dropping to 90% and 89%. Might also be just a coincidence.

97% on my launch day iPhone 11. My girlfriend's launch day XR (almost a year older) is at 96%.

It's just an calculated value I would not pay too much attention to.

11 Pro. 92%.

Been wondering if that was normal. Seems a lot of people are around that number.

I wirelessly charge at night. But I also have CarPlay and the phone charges whenever I plug it in and often that is not for very long. Lots of quick trips where the phone is plugged and in plugged from my car after only charging for a few minutes.

I charge with a cable. 5 days a week the only charging is being plugged in in the car to and from work for about a half hour each way. On my off days I charge randomly either through a regular charging brick, a USB built into an electrical outlet, or through a bigger iPad style charger. I’m glad to see it’s 100%, it just doesn’t seem plausible.

Might be bias, but to me it seems that people, who charge wirelessly have a lower battery health one year later.

Temperature? Trickle charging?

I had a launch day 11 Pro Max, which I just sold. It was at 94% battery health because I always used the 5W overnight wireless charger and didn't see any need to use a fast charger every night. Will do the same with incoming 12 Pro.

Launch day iPhone 11 Pro - 88% but the phone has now been sold, so I'm now on an iPhone 7 for a month...
