iPhone battery health below 80%

Battery health below 80% means your battery is aging — it won't hold a charge as long as it did when new. Apple recommends replacement when health drops below 80%, but your iPhone still works fine. You have options: live with shorter battery life, enable Low Power Mode, or get the battery replaced.

Every iPhone battery has a lifespan measured in charge cycles. Each time you charge it fully, that's one cycle. Over time, the battery's chemistry degrades and it holds less energy. At 80% health, Apple officially recommends replacement.
