Curious, how long did it take your battery health meter to finally drop to 99%? Mine flipped today, just shy of 5 months.

Six months with this X and still at 100%. My wife’s 8 Plus is about 8 months in and still at 100% as well. My daughters 7 was at 90% last time I checked. She’s had it for about 8 months but it was used prior to her getting it.

I don't recall how long it took to drop to 99% on my 6s Plus. I'm guessing not long, as I'm a very heavy user. I'm retired, so I'm on it from wake up til bedtime. I've had it since September of 2015, and it's at 72%. It probably took a couple months or so to drop to 99%.

I’m a heavy user & I find the batter in my X & 8 to not be as good as previous iPhones. Launch day X is at 94% & launch day 8 is at 91%...trash!! My phones work great & get me through most of the day. My 7 Plus & 6S Plus got me through an entire day, with plenty of battery to spare. This is the first time I’ve had to carry a charging cable in years.

My X bought on 2nd day of launch, charged daily on wireless charger and mainly on Pokémon GO, took around 6 months to drop to 99%.

Once it starts, it drops quite quickly and now it's at 96%.

I've had my X since February and it is still at 100%.

I don't ever charge mine to full or leave it on a charger overnight. I try my best to do the 40 to 80% thing, but take it to 90% a lot. Never ever 100%.

22 month old iPhone 7 Plus and running iOS 12 PB5.

Battery till shows 100%.

I never let it drop below 15% and only charge it to 95%. Seems to work for me.
