Battery drain

[nimble hatch]

So it’s almost 5 months since I brought my iPhone 15. A month back the battery health dropped by 1 and I saw that my battery drained faster than usual. And now my battery health is 98% with 146 cycles. Is this normal cause I dont know. My brothers iPhone 13 battery health is 80 something and it doesn’t drain as much as mine.

What version of iOS are you running by chance?

98% and 146 cycles is well within limit, mine's 99% and 34 cycles which seems bad as of now but 1% per month is like normal. I would'nt care much about it

Depends on how well you’re taking care of the battery. If it’s getting hot, if you’re charging it a lot, leaving it on the charger, etc it will drain. I take very good care of my battery on my iPhone, so it was only down to about 96% after a year. It’s now just almost 4 years old and the battery is at 89%

17.4.1

Hmm

[nimble hatch]

Ahh alright

[kind basalt]

If you check battery settings, do you see any apps using more battery than usual?

[nimble hatch]

Yep.

[kind basalt]

Have you tried possibly deleting and reinstalling to see if it helps

Or even just updating those applications (if they have one)

[nimble hatch]

Yea I did and still nothing happened

[kind basalt]

Did you do it recently?

or just now?

[nimble hatch]

I did it like 2 weeks ago

[kind basalt]

Oh

I'm not sure what it could be. It's possible it's a bug in iOS 17.4.1

[nimble hatch]

I dont know.

[smoky plume]

I too take care a lot...idk how it went down so soon

[nimble hatch]

Same here to be honest

[smoky plume]

What's your battery status?

[nimble hatch]

Normal 98% 152 cycles

[smoky plume]

Yeah it is normal, maybe people with 100% after 150 cycles will experience health drop rapidly later

[nimble hatch]

Oki

worrying about battery health is pretty pointless because there's very little you can do to actually preserve the battery itself. But also a difference between 100% and 98% is not going to generate drastic differences, it is a very gradual change. How long a battery last on a charge is a very complicated thing because it depends a lot on how the devices used and what you're doing with it and even down to factors outside of your control such as the quality of cellular service in your area and all sorts of other shit. Considering how your phone is, if you're running into issues with how long it lasts on a charge that's usually gonna be user usage and nothing else
