iphone battery degraded from 90% to 77% in just a couple of months.

wondering what is causing my battery to degrade so fast. I don't overcharge it so wondering if it's all the apps or perhaps the magsafe charging? how do I find out what is causing the degradation?

Just to clarify are you saying the battery health went from 90% to 77%?

 

[greatdeals_007]

yes

When did you buy the iPhone? The warranty covers battery replacement if the battery health goes below 80% in the first year.

If the MagSafe charger you are using is not an approved one and is causing excessive heat, that could cause battery degradation.

What iPhone do you have? Have you had the battery replaced before?

Heat can cause severe degradation, like charging in a hot car. How do you normally charge your device?
