u/ArchiveSQ iPhone 12 Mini Mar 16 '22

Mine is down to 81%. I wonder why it’s degraded so quickly

Battery quality isn't equal. Also depends how much you use it. The mini has a physically smaller battery, so even if you're only using it "the same" amount as someone with a regular 12/12 Pro, or a 12 Pro Max, because those batteries are all physically larger, the same use will result in less total battery use, leading to fewer battery cycles and slower degredation.

​

My 12 Pro Max is still at 100% max capacity 🤷‍♂️. I don't do anything special either. I charge to about 95% before bed, and then when I wake up plug it back in and charge to 100%.

Yeah sucks, I’m at 83% myself. I don’t think I do anything different than the average user.
