Maximum Capacity is at 98% in less than 2 months on iPhone 16 Pro

I’m very disappointed with the iPhone 16 Pro’s battery performance. After 48 days of moderate use, the maximum charge capacity has dropped to 98%, and I can’t even say there’s any improvement in battery life compared to my old iPhone 14 Pro, which had 84% Maximum Capacity after nearly two years of use. If this trend continues, it will reach 80% capacity in less than 14 months and approximately 310 charge cycles. It’s shameful!


Here are some specific details:


• I charge it using the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter, either with the original cable that came in the box or with the Apple MagSafe Charger.


• I don’t use Always On Display.


• As shown in the attached images, I use it for about 2 hours per day, under normal temperature and humidity conditions.


• I don’t use it for car navigation, social media, movies, games, or any other intensive apps.


• I use an Apple Clear Case with MagSafe.


So, what can I do to get this “amazing” phone to at least match the performance of my old iPhone 14 Pro?
