iPhone Xs Battery

I know you can go into , Settings - Battery - Battery Health and it tells you what maximum capacity percentage you have on the phone.

I know that battery start at around 100/99%

Does anyone know what the recommended percentage is for when you should be changing the battery ?

When I spoke with Apple I think they said below 80% is when they would suggest a change.

Spot on, Im sitting at 85% just now.

The phone is just over a year old but im wondering if Consumer Law could help me get a free battery out them.

I had my iPhone 7 have the battery change under there battery exchange programme.

My XS Max is 2 years old in October and it’s currently at 93%, strange how yours is 85% and about 1 years old.

Could yourself change a battery in these or can Apple in store do it for you for a price?

So i phone will never charge to 100% after a few years?

It will, it's just batteries degrade, and the total capacity is less.

I'm on 86%, had my XS since Nov 18. Might get the 12 Pro if offers are decent again on black friday, if not I'll probably end up paying apple to swap the battery.

No phone will, it's just how batteries work.

I think they've delayed the iPhone this year so might be no black friday I'm afraid.

So it will show 100% on the battery % indicator but only charge to 80%?

Correct, it's the same with all batteries. That's why phones and laptops will run out of power quicker as they get older.

It'll tell you it's 100% charged because that's all it can hold.

I must say i went and got the battery changed at apple for £69.

They replaced the battery on my iphone and they also replace a speaker which is free of charge as it needs taken out or something when the battery gets done.

Im going to bed at around 10pm and my battery is still showing 30/40% and thats me watching rubbish on my phone and messing about on ebay / social media.

my X pro is at 95% after a year of owning it. Battery optimisation on, and wirelessly charged each night,
