[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1836562, member: 38864"] The indicator for the battery charge is accurate, but in my experience, the health indicator is grossly inaccurate. In the most extreme example, my mother-in-law’s iPhone was draining from 100% charge to nothing in about an hour while doing nothing but play some music. I literally could watch the charge indicator drop over a couple minutes. That despite hard resets and reinstalls of iOS. The battery health indicator read something like 96%. Coconut Battery had a more realistic number of something like 65%. Replacing the battery got her back to normal usage. I’ve seen similar disparities with my own iPhones and my wife’s in the past, though not quite with the extremely low life that my in-law had. Right now, my iPhone XR, which is just over a year old, still reads as having a battery life of 100%. I can’t check that against Coconut Battery right now, but I have a hard time believing that after a year of regular use, the battery hasn’t degraded even slightly. [/QUOTE]
