iPhone 14 Pro Max battery health decreased so fast

My iPhone 14 Pro Max. I bought this phone on April 6th, 2023. I have been using it normally, following the recommended charging practices and avoiding extreme temperatures.


However, after only 1 months 9 days of use, the battery health of my phone has dropped to 98%. This is unacceptable for a premium device. I expected the battery to last longer and perform better than this. I am worried that the battery health will continue to degrade rapidly and affect the performance and functionality of my phone.

Read this support article about Phone battery and performance to read about the battery health feature and what is considered normal performance --> iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support


"A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers battery service for a charge." A degraded battery may display the notice: "Your battery’s health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity." If it is not at or above 80% "normal", consider contacting Apple about a battery replacement. --> iPhone Battery Repair & Replacement - Apple Support

What you are seeing isn't unusual given possible variables in what is being measured. The bottom line is if before a year has passed the health is below 80%, take the device to Apple for assessment.
