It’s a known iPhone 12 battery issue, last year every iPhone 12 models had the same issue, only some of the lucky ones didn’t get this...dry.gif

My 12 mini bought march this year, already at 93%, is it normal or not
*
Very subjective depends on your usage to be honest, but I supposed nothing is normal on the battery for all the iPhone 12 lineups, something is just wrong but nobody knows what’s it...hope they fix it on the 13 this year..

I see well hope could be fix with software update though. Mine is drastically decreasing in the month of October.

I don't have much hope from them.. I think they will just let it slip through.. Just hope future models won't have similar issue.. dry.gif

I try not to check already. Gave up
I’m not even gaming. As long as my iPhone can last me through the day then I’m good

I think the health % is not accurate, it drops a lot but battery lasting doesn’t seems affected, just my opinion

8 months of abuse to 94 is pretty forgiving..my 12pm decent usage for 11 months now already drop to 90%, my wife's 12pm totally under use 89% now for about 10 months..all luck I guess dry.gif

My current concern is with my mini is battery optimization when idle/stanby mode. I notice even when on idle the battery seem to deplete a lot even without usage.

Example, charge to 97% last night at 10pm. And went to bed leaving data on etc. No WiFi connection, and when check this morning at 630 it drains to 67%.

Even my 3 year old pixel with Android 11, manage to drop 11% from 90% to 79% with the same time.

It really sucks knowing even you are not using the phone at all, the battery drains like water overnight. I'm at 91% battery health capacity at the moment.
*
Yea the battery on iPhone 12's are tricky... did you turn off background refresh etc? or try to go into airplane mode and see how much it drains overnight..

buy directly from website, need to wait till end of this month for black friday code.. free shipping above 79$ so you need to top up something else to get the shipping fee waived.. need to wait a few weeks for delivery..

Should be ok, 15.1 fixes many bugs etc, and most importantly no battery drain issues…

i had the worst battery in ios15.0.1, background app refresh + Waze was 100% on all the time. I thought it was a feature.
I turned it off for Waze and everything improved a lot. Back to normal.

Try the latest update 15.1, it fixes some of the bugs in ios 15/15.0.1/ 15.0.2..

Actually, yes I did the thing with background refresh app, but no active apps in the background at that moment. Maybe I'll try again later, just update to latest iOS version.

Anyway anyone got the apple silicon case? Ordered one on 11/11, for rM99. Any good?
*
Yeap 15.1 should be better..

rm99 for the silicone case is a steal biggrin.gif

I found that battery health drop significantly when charge via wireless, especially apple magnet charger, it generate a lot heat which degrade battery more faster.
*
my wife's 12 PM haven't touched wireless charger, super under use and under charged unit, as of to date 90%, just reached 1 year sharp.. so I'm not sure how much the wireless charger affects the batr health

i bought 12 PM in this January, now already 91%, light user , watch youtube or facebook only.
Iphone XR is greatest , now still left 96% lol
*
by far from what I've seen or heard, my wife's unit is the worst, she practically use it 100% on WhatsApp an hour a day, not even calls made, I think within then 1 year she use it for about 5 mins call and that's it.. didn't use it for any sort of social media, charge once every 5-6 days between 20% and unplug at 95%, no wireless or overnight charge, there she's at 90% after a year, firstly I gave up checking on her batt health, now slowly she gave up too..accepted the fact and faith and move on smile.gif

I just think the 12 series battery might be of poorer quality than the previous ones on the 11 series. I remember my 11 Pro Max still at 98% battery health after 11 months. My current 11 is at 97% after 8 months biggrin.gif
*
Yeap it's very obvious the 11 has better batt, i remember selling off my 11 PM at 97% of 10+ months use.. and i definitely use it more than the 12 too.. dry.gif

apple probably has at least 2-3 major supplier of battery cells for each phone. and each has their own sources too. I think batch to batch, supplier to supplier there should be tolerances in terms of degradation. Matter of luck. What is more important is that I find my iphone battery life stable, whereas my samsung would drop like a rock after 2 weeks (when i'm finally done installing all the apps I need). Even if the battery chemically degrade, at least the software is not doing weird stuff....except for IOS15.0.1 when i had 100% background app. Even then it was easy to fix (kill waze from background app refresh). With Android you'd be hunting wakelocks with a fine tooth comb, and then after you find the culprit you will break something else when you fix something ...
*
yeap they definitely have a few suppliers for battery, but for iphone 12's case, i think 3 out of their 4 suppliers carry battery that degrades fast, while another 1/4 carry better quality ones....hearing from so many people not just here, even in other forums plenty of people raise up the same issue on their iphone 12..
