iPhone 12 pro battery capacity decreasing to 98%

I use my new iPhone 12 pro for 8 months and the battery capacity is decreasing from 100 to 98%. I think it’s really fast to decrease. Is that possible? or normal

Tl;dr If the battery health is more than 80% then you have nothing to worry about it.


Maximum battery capacity measures the device battery capacity relative to when it was new. A battery will have lower capacity as the battery chemically ages which may result in fewer hours of usage between charges. Depending upon the length of time between when the iPhone was made and when it is activated, your battery capacity may show as slightly less than 100%.

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. Learn more about charge cycles.
