Apple's iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series have come under fire over battery health concerns. Tech journalists from multiple tech publications including The Verge, The Wall Street Journal, and AppleTrack have noted that their iPhone battery health has declined faster than the older iPhones, including the iPhone 13 series. These reports come weeks before the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are expected to launch.
Apple says that the iPhone's battery health should be good up to the battery capacity falling to 80% – i.e. when the iPhone retains 80% of its original battery capacity at launch. Yet, these new reports (such as from AppleTracks' Sam Kohl linked below) show that the newest iPhones could, at the rate they're apparently going, hit that threshold faster than the previous iPhones.
