Almost a year after the presentation of the iPhone 14 Pro, many users are complaining about the poor battery health of their phones. Testimonials on X are many : if some speak of a maximum capacity from 93% after a year, some unlucky people have seen this percentage go down up to 86%. Disappointing statistics for a device that has not even celebrated its first birthday.
My iPhone 14 Pro Max battery after 11 months of use.
In a billet assistance, Apple explains that a normal battery ” is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 500 full charge cycles “. The iPhone 11 and other newer models have a new system allowing Apple to dynamically monitor the power needs of its phones. The aim of the approach is to limit the loss of performance due to the aging of the battery.
Despite this, it would seem that the health of some batteries is declining quite quickly: what justifies such average scores for the iPhone 14 Pro? We can think of various changes, such as a possible new, more precise analysis algorithm on this 2022 vintage. The activation of the always-on screen may play a role in the long term, or even the fact that the panel is more brighter than last year (up to 2,000 nits, double the iPhone 13 Pro). We can also imagine that some people sharing their feedback are under a beta of iOS 17, whose battery management is not yet completely finalized. In any case, the fact that some iPhone 14 Pros have lost almost 15% of their maximum capacity in 11 months is quite surprising.
Obviously, the degradation of the battery of an iPhone depends on different aspects: the scores diverge according to daily use or the charging method used. If you are concerned about this problem, the application for Mac Coconut Battery allows you to know the number of cycles of your iPhone battery, as well as several other details.
AppleCare+ allows you to change the battery when it drops below 80%. Without guarantee, Apple invoices the operation 119 € in France. It is possible to save a little thanks to the new program of ” Self Service Repair launched at the end of 2022.
