Hello there!

It doesn't need to be replaced yet it will need to be replaced if it reaches 80 or less.

Look at these articles to find out how to keep your battery:

You might be able to convince Apple to let you pay $69 for a battery replacement. They won't replace the battery for free that's for sure. And if you do pay for a new battery, it's Battery Health after five months will go down, and possibly more than 2%. The reality is Battery Health declines with every full cycle battery charge and there is no way to stop it. It's what batteries do, ALL BATTERIES. In fact, a decline of 1% - 2% decline/month is normal and expected. So a 2% decline in 5 months is actually quite good.


If Battery Health dips to 80% or lower in the first 12 months, you would have a warranty claim. As it is, you don't and it really would provide no benefit to pay to get a new battery in your phone, when the one have is operating better than expected.
