Apple

What’s the problem?

Throw the laptop in the bin. Are you serious?

I never once checked the battery health of a device before an Apple product. Just use the device and enjoy it. The battery will decrease over time - that is just how it works. When it becomes unbearable, replace the battery or device.

Let’s say it stays at 99% after 6 months. That means 2% per year. It will only drop to 80% in 10 years. It is impossible to stop it from dropping. You probably won’t notice it until year 8, and at that point maybe the chip is dated enough that you start looking for a new laptop anyway.

So 99 cycles and 1%?

So imagine that’s x 10

1000 cycles and 10%?

Seems about right

So? By the way that max capacity will go back up if you're actually using it. Just keep it plugged in when you're near an outlet and let the battery run down to 20% every so often. If you're using AlDente just stop as the OS is designed to handle the battery just fine on its own. You need to let it hit 100% and leave it plugged in as it's still trickle charging when it gets there. Not to mention leaving it plugged in is not going to harm anything.

Completely normal. You've used 10% of the 1000 cycle rating and it's dropped it 1% You'll be fine. Purchase date has little to do with this. It's how many cycles it's been discharged and charged. Mileage will vary ..

People are waaaaaay over concerned about their Mac batteries. I use my computer, it'll need a new battery someday. I'll buy a new battery when that day comes. Did you think that it wouldn't drop as time goes on. Just use the machine however you do, and enjoy.

cant believe such an obvious troll cos taken seriously by literally everybody haha

My M1 Pro, battery created in June 2022, has 71 cycles and 94% battery health. Are you kidding me?

Still, instead of lasting 10 h it lasts 9h 20 min. So what?

When it lasts less than 4h I may consider replacing it. The battery, not the laptop. My Lenovo’s battery lasts less than 3h, if I’m lucky.

iPhone 11, battery replaced on 8th December 2022, Battery Health at 88%, 348 cycles. I carry my powerbank for peace of mind and it charges my phone up to 50% in 30 min. ( if below 30%). So what? If I didn’t know the Battery Health level I would barely notice the drop!

Sometimes I need help with comments cuz I can’t tell if it’s /s or people are serious.

In this case I’m leaning that OP is actually upset lol

This is why you don’t see the battery health on the iPad. Expect others devices to follow. It’s just causing anxiety for no reason.

I got an iphone 13 with 200 cycles at 93%, my friend also has a macbook with about 300 cycles at 91%, so ur lucky actually

I have a 1 year old macbook with 100% battery health. Bought it last year June, unboxed it yesterday. The only way to maintain battery health at 100% is by not using it at all.

Normal means your battery is fine…

99% after 99 cycles is better than normal actually. Apple says 80% at 500 cycles is normal. There is 2 things it can say, normal and service. Unless it says service, everything is fine.

Wait, please tell me you're not upset or surprised about 1% battery degradation after almost 100 power cycles?! JFC

Burn it!!!

Just checked on my M1 Air, almost exactly 2 years old:

Cycle Count: 250

Condition: Normal

Maximum Capacity: 87%

By this logic, it'll take 100 months or 8.3 years before your battery capacity gets to just 80%, it's extremely optimistic yeah, but still, stop worrying about it. Worst case scenario you'll have to get your battery replaced after half a decade, at which point it'll be well worth it.
