Usually all my phones after a year are at 100% but with wireless charging my 11 pro max is sitting at 98 percent. I only charge overnight, I have the "optimized battery charging" turned off and if I charge using a brick, its the 5watt brick because my phone use to last me all day with 3-40% at the end of the night. With current times, My phone barely drops to 80% since its being used for notifications, light surfing and 2FA

My 11 is sitting here with 85%. I'm mad about it. What do I do wrong? It's almost 1.5 year and it went down to 85. I don't think it's normal...

My launch day iPhone 11 6.1 is at 98%, using it every day as my main phone for over a year till the 12 Mini arrived! Coconut battery says the same. Hope it stays that good!!!

Almost exclusively charging it with 5W charger to 100% during the day, rarely with 10W iPad charger. Rarely using it during a charge. But I think it is with battery like it is with displays etc. You have to be lucky to get a really good one.

Looks like my 11 was activated in September of 2019, and it's at 88%. Pretty bad, but I used my phone a ton. And despite the %, I've also noticed that the phone doesn't drop battery % drastically after it gets to around 10-15%, which is what used to happen when my battery health got this low on older models. I also don't really notice a difference in performance at the lower percentages either. So the battery health is not great, particularly given the age, but it seems to perform much better and not have an obvious memory impact where it gets to 10-15% and then dies super fast.

Looking to upgrade to a 12 mini possibly and cut back my daily phone usage.

That’s actually like my case. I did feel a bit of drop of battery but not massive drop. But anyway seeing my 15 month old phone at %85 annoy me very much. I guess I should stop thinking about it.

The cable was the Apple one too ya?

I guess it‘s just bad luck. Need to stop thinking and get away with it :/ and yes both charger and cable was official...

11 Pro obtained at launch, Sept 2019. Battery Health at 99%. I've almost exclusively used a 5W charger (Apple) and attempted to keep it between 20-90% charged.

Launch day 11, 5W wired and 5W wireless charging, sometimes 18W - 93%
Launch day Xr, 12W and 18W wired charging - 93%

I would say that fast charging is not big factor. Temperature, below 20%, over 80%, cycles, luck (how good battery you got) are the biggest factors.

Launch day 11 pro battery health currently at 99%. I only use the fast charger on rare occasions, usually charge during the day and unplug before 100% charge.

My launch day iPhone 11 Pro Max battery is now at 89%. I looking to get a charging case for it as it drains battery pretty fast now (to the point where I have to turn on low battery mode to make it through work days). I am not sure If I have a virus or malware or what on my phone, but it use to not drain as fast.
