My iPhone 15's battery health is 87% after just 303 cycles.

My iPhone 15's battery health is 87% after just 303 cycles. This is definitely not normal considering Apple's claim of retaining 80% after 1000 cycles.

iPhone 15, iOS 18

Let's start by reviewing what Apple says in their support document regarding batteries:


Batteries of iPhone 15 models are designed to retain 80 percent of their original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles under ideal conditions.

Your battery is declining faster than normal because it is either defective (doubtful) or you are placing higher than normal demands on the battery (likely).


There are some real power hogs out there. What are the 5 apps that are using the most battery power on your iPhone?


Are you normally using a 5G connection?


Contact Apple Support. They are usually able to run a remote diagnostic on your iPhone and review the results with you.
