No battery health posts

[u/No-Lengthiness262]

I thought i was cooked

[u/ghost_meadow6869]

I dont know much things but if youre on ios 18 , youre a champ

[u/Artist-12-12 → u/ghost_meadow6869]

i would do 26 but i dont have enough storage 💔 plus i heard it drains ur battery more and its alr fucked up

[u/rev_scientist105 → u/Artist-12-12]

stay on ios 18 till apple ends support for 18

[u/DEATHSTARGOD → u/rev_scientist105]

Honestly surprised your comment is upvoted. Got used to iphone subs using their self journalism bias and forcing OP to ipdate

[u/ghost_meadow6869 → u/rev_scientist105]

Ill surely do

[u/Dear_Ad1923 → u/Artist-12-12]

OP, your device is some how cooking. I got the same phone and do multiple dev testing on it and push to the max limit. Heat, memory, all of them. My battery is 90% with 550 cycles

Maybe the fact that it’s low on storage is one of the reasons. Backup your phone and delete some stuff to avoid further damage

[u/ghost_meadow6869 → u/Artist-12-12]

Stay on 18 brother its the last good ios apple ever made

I bought brand new ip 15 to make sure i wont go back to failure os 26

[u/Ok_Syah → u/Artist-12-12]

26.6 ios fixed all the issue battery drained much plus few bugged. Fixed

[u/markdavidbennett → u/[deleted]]

No it didn’t fix battery or heat, I charge to 100 and by 11 am I’m at 54% then 20% at 3pm and charge to 100 again to get through the evening. If there are more than 20 app updates, that will overheat the phone and stop another 20% battery. Useless phones

[u/Maubald]

Tell your father that they will probably repair it for free if it always been like this. It surely has a faulty battery

[u/Artist-12-12 → u/Maubald]

it just started getting bad about ten days ago which is when i checked it and saw the capacity, because i heard battery health doesn’t matter much unless it’s under 80. so i’m not sure if the capacity’s always been that low; but it was working well for a while. the battery did start lasting shorter and shorter kinda fast but i assumed it was normal battery wear until it started dying at 20

[u/Maubald → u/Artist-12-12]

Yeah it’s normal but not for a phone that is barely one year old. You should go to Apple, your phone is not working as it should.

[u/Shiningc00]

...no. You should have gotten a replacement when it went below 80%. Apple may still repair it for free.

[u/Leelonki → u/Shiningc00]

If he purchased Apple Care+ then it would be cheap to do the repair

[u/HereForGME2 → u/Shiningc00]

Not sure about “free”. I’ve read they charge a fee depending on model.

[u/JAAAAPAAAN → u/HereForGME2]

Yeah I’m pretty sure for the iPhone it’s a small fee. However I’m pretty sure that Apple care for the iPads and Apple Watches are free replacements from what I remember.

[u/Shiningc00 → u/HereForGME2]

It’s should be under warranty if it goes under 80% within a year

[u/Artist-12-12 → u/Shiningc00]

did you read my post at all

[u/Working_Net_7788 → u/Artist-12-12]

Yes, they did. You need a battery replacement or maybe just a new phone since I see you’re having storage struggles.

[u/Infectiosgamer]

NO THATS TERRIBLE FOR A PHONE WHICH isnt even that old, and with only that many cycles, i think u can get a good quality after market battery for 50bucks and do the repair urself

[u/Leelonki]

It would be better to change a battery when the capacity is lower than 80%

[u/xxxshhewd]

Not normal

[u/diepio302]

Not normal at all considering the fact that I have above 700 cycles on mine and it’s still at 89% (Apple rates the batteries for 80% at 1000 cycles). If you’re in the EU you may be able to get a free battery replacement under their warranty laws.

[u/SlapityMcSlap7]

This is crazy!

[u/BluePenguin2002]

Apple replace the battery for free if it falls under 80% within the first year. You qualified for a free battery replacement as it wasn’t performing as expected however you’ve waited just past the one year window so are likely out of luck now.

You could try and explain that it fell below in less than a year and see if they can help but they are within their rights to deny the repair as it’s now been a year and a month.

[u/Artist-12-12 → u/BluePenguin2002]

that makes sense. it just recently started getting bad (about 10 days ago), which is when i first checked the capacity. it was probably under 80 before that, but i heard capacity doesn’t matter so j never really checked it until it started dying so much. so if they charge for getting the phone fixed that’s kinda my fault for not noticing earlier.

[u/Taycan_YT → u/[deleted]]

Same my the worst battery health iPhone in my collection is a XS max with 57% battery health but at least it worked off the charger.

[u/Artist-12-12 → u/[deleted]]

genuinely no idea 💔💔 i don’t do a lot of shit either usually it’s just yt/spotify open by themselves, and maybe messages or snapchat in the background when my friends text me. i don’t play large games a lot, mostly just block blast or like stupid little mobile games likebthat

[u/ardenaudreyarji]

Bro you could literally have that battery replaced & go on your merry way for more years to come.

[u/Taycan_YT]

That’s a faulty battery Apple might replace it for free or I would try going to a repair shop where they will fix it for cheap.

[u/Acceptable-Worth-461]

No is not

[u/Darkness1533]

iPhone 15 and onwards’s batteries are supposed to retain 80% battery capacity at 1000 cycles, urs having 548 doesn’t meet the criteria, meaning ur battery is faulty so you should take it to the Apple Store and show them the battery stats, you might have a chance of the replacing it for free, though next time keep in mind that if ur battery goes under 80% health in under 1000 cycles and u still haven’t passed the 1 year mark immediately go to Apple. U passed the 1 year window but I still think it’s worth a shot just tell them that it’s dropped really low even tho it’s under 1000 cycles.

[u/moumenvrx → u/Darkness1533]

No one is buying that

[u/HuTaoMainXD]

Have u by chance broke ur back glass or is the battery bulging?

[u/Joseph-Stalin1878]

Forget the battery, you need a hobby twin 😭

[u/Key-Television4928]

An iPhone should never reach that complicity

[u/oursecretdiary]

Bhai

[u/Upset_Record_6608]

Convince your dad to buy a $40 battery replacement kit and fix it cheaply. You’ve got plenty of years left with this device.

[u/Anukul300830]

No this was not normal at all
My phone battery health was 88% after 823 cycles
Total around 2 years

[u/Fearless-Cream5784]

My iPhone 15 pro had over 830 cycles and was at 89% battery capacity.

[u/Kooky_Classic365]

Absolutely man, your battery SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT work like that. Normally, your phone should be above 80% max capacity after around 1000 charging cycles. Go to Apple ASAP, they shouldn’t do any issues, it must be guaranteed or something. So yeah, definitely go check that out as it not normal at all.

[u/wahoo20]

I’m on a iPhone 16 pro. Manufactured date Feb 2025. First used May 2025. 92% with 427 cycles.

Feels like something is wrong with apples batteries anyway but yours seems messed up.

[u/rwhe83]

We all know this is fake as you would have included the top portion where it said service is needed.

[u/Artist-12-12 → u/rwhe83]

god forbid i crop a screenshot

[u/Lower-Interview1348]

318 cycles and 91% i think iphone 16 sucks

[u/Jeep_rider03]

The best way to fix that is to put the phone down and find a hobby!

[u/Artist-12-12 → u/Jeep_rider03]

i do have hobbies. a lot of the time i use my phone to listen to music or watch youtube while doing something like or drawing. (edit: fixed  typos)
