IPhone battery max capacity % - when to think about replacement? - Wags - 01-03-2019
My iPhone 6 says 94%, seems to go a day or two under normal usage. The peak performance says I had a shutdown so I disabled whatever it was doing.

Apple says 80%, but mine was at 86% and tested fine but would die in 2/3 of a day, so I had it replaced (also to get it done under the $29 offer). So I’d say there’s a bit of a case by case consideration needed.

Don't know b/c I switched to an XS Max. But 2/3 of a day was not normal for the phone. It took a nosedive at some point in the last 6 months that I was using it daily.

This.
But battery science like many, isn't an exact science.
Or, maybe it's because of variables in sourcing components, construction, or care and feeding.
My 5s got down to 82% before I noticed diminished capacity (LOL). However, I almost never let the charge get down to 50%, and never willingly.

When to think about replacement? About a week ago. Now you might as well wait until the need is dire.
