My iPhone mini 13 is down to 84% after a year. I’m definitely getting it replaced soon

The Mini has a much smaller battery. So for simplicity’s sake, if you use both for the same workload, the Mini will need to be charged more often to last as long as the Pro. More charging=more wear

My mini just got to 89% and that’s with 2+ charges a day with MagSafe, what are you doing?

My 13 pro is 99% and I’ve had it since January. But that’s irrelevant to me since that one is my work phone that I rarely use

Edit: got the 13 mini in November 2021 and the pro in January 2021

My 13 Pro Max is at 84%. I am watching YouTube and surfing social media most of the day.

My 12 Mini dropped to 84% before it’s first birthday, but more than two years now and it’s still 84%. I don’t believe the degradation to be linear.

That’s fair. I paid for the appecare though so I may as well get it replaced.

I hadn’t checked in awhile but it dropped fast. I missed all of 97%- 88%

Curious of your charging habits. I’ve had my normal 13 for almost a year now (Jan 15th will mark a full year) and I just dropped to 98% earlier this week

I use over 100% each day. Sometimes even 200%. I charge at my desk while working but also I use CarPlay a lot and charge over ivht

I've had a 12 mini for 2 years and I'm at 88 battery health. I thought the 13 mini is supposed to have a larger battery? Must all be down to usage I guess.

I absolutely love the mini iPhones. Wish they had not discontinued them. I plan holding onto mine for as long as possible. Will likely get a battery change from Apple once the health dips below 60.

I use my phone a good amount. I also have a 13 pro but it’s my work device so I only try to use it for work things. I use about 125-150% of my mini 13 battery per day so likely have a higher cycle count than other folks do

Either you have some very odd charging habits your you have a faulty battery. 15+% within one year is well outside of an acceptable degradation of product life

I use mine phone a lot and I charge with wireless charger at work and usually the iPad charger or my work laptop dock when I’m home idk man. I have AppleCare so I’ll get it swapped when I find the time
