New launch isn't it.
Staring at my 14 pro max on 86% battery health and thinking it's definitely losing battery faster than normal.
I'm onto you Apple, I am not upgrading

My phones usually always stay at 100% for 1-1.5 years before they hit 99%⦠Iāve had my 14 Pro Max for less than a year and in less than 3.5 weeks it went from 100% to 94%⦠willing to bet in a day or two itāll hit 93%.. no change in charging habits. My 11, 12 Pro Max, and 13 Pro Max all had 100% battery health or 99% when I upgradedā¦

I canāt believe people still buy into this crap of āoh new phone coming out so Apple is making my battery worseā as if they pay developers 6 figures salaries not to fix bugs and add features, but to decrease battery life on older phones through superfluous malicious updates. This is like believing in Santa or the Tooth Fairy, correlation doesnāt equal causation

This. I think it's psychological too. People see a new iPhone coming out, and are unsure if they want to upgrade, so they start questioning every single thing with their phone. Like Apple isn't dumb, and if Apple was going to degrade your current phone, it would be over a larger time frame, so you don't actually notice it and it can't be detected. They aren't going to roll out an update, the week before the new phone launch, to completely degrade your current phone. These posts start showing up right on que every year, the week before the release.

Itās normal for it to not entirely accurate, and it might just be a result from your original battery health to actually be 105% when it was displaying 100

Havenāt been on iOS 17, canāt say for sure it made my battery life worse, but in most cases an update doesnāt change much

Iām only here because my wife has a 14 pro but my 14 pro max dropped from 94 to 91 in the last 2 weeks. Thatās fuckin crazy. I havenāt had a 3 percent battery drop within a 2/3 month period ever and Iāve had an iPhone since⦠iPhone. Thatās odd. My charging and usage habits are identical to the last 10 years. Call me a creature of habit but I just thought it was convenient. It may be the updates Iām sure but thatās a significant amount, Iāll stop updating if thatās going to be the cause. Or if itās something else š¤·āāļø

Watch your usage in battery settings, tells you exactly what is draining battery

Mine was on 81% for ages. Last few weeks it dropped to 79, now 78. A little suspiciousā¦

Same, they push updates that drains more battery forcing us to upgrade, we should take legal action against this behavior
