iPhone 14 Pro Models Battery Health Issue
Popular microblogging platform X (previously known as Twitter) has become a hub for users expressing concerns about a notable decline in battery health for their iPhone 14 Pro devices. An array of posts revolve around a common issue: a significant reduction of approximately 10% in battery health among most users.
One standout case is that of a user, Miles Above Tech (@milesabovetech), who has reported a remarkable drop in battery health for his iPhone 14 Pro Max, reaching as low as 86% in just an 11-month span. This trend has raised alarm bells within the user community, shedding light on the pressing nature of this matter.
In a similar vein, another user named Daniel (@ZoneOfTech) has encountered a decrease in battery health for his iPhone 14 Pro, which has now dwindled to a mere 88%. In an attempt to illustrate the extent of the issue, Daniel shared his personal experience: despite unplugging his iPhone from the charger at 8 AM, he found himself at a mere 20% battery life within a mere four-hour timeframe.
Subsequently, even after recharging it to 80%, he encountered the disheartening outcome of returning to just 20% battery capacity after a few more hours. This firsthand account underscores the severity of the battery-related challenges faced by some iPhone 14 Pro users, contributing to the growing discourse surrounding this matter.
Users have voiced their concerns on platforms like Reddit and Apple Forums, detailing instances of subpar battery performance even when their iPhones display a battery health of 100%.
Battery Health is an iOS functionality that enables users to monitor the maximum charging capacity of their iPhones. When a new iPhone is acquired, its battery health starts at 100%, but this figure diminishes over time with regular usage. To illustrate, if your iPhone’s battery health registers at 90%, this signifies that it can currently only charge up to 90% of the battery’s original capacity. Apple introduced this feature in 2018, following the “Batterygate” controversy.
