My iPhone 11 always needs charging

Do I need to upgrade my iPhone if the battery health is 84%?

That’s getting pretty close to the 80% where the battery should be replaced.


But explain what “always needs charging” means. If you charge the phone overnight, every night, it should last to the end of the day when you charge it again, unless you are a very heavy gamer or spend hours on phone calls.


Go to Settings/General/Battery Health; read what it says under peak performance. If the battery should be replaced it will say so.
