The falloff has to be way more than 20% for two years?
- The_Colonel 3y agoIt heavily depends on the usage pattern. If you charge in the evening to 100%, let it on the charger overnight and then during the day discharge to 0%, that might kill the battery completely within 2 years. Keeping it within 20-80% most of the time might keep the battery healthier.

- ars 3y agoBecause 20% will still harm a battery (less then 0% obviously), above 40 to 80 approximately the no-harm zone.
- ghaff 3y agoI have a 3 year old phone that's at 85%. That seems to be a pretty normal pattern for me over the past 10+ years.

- roxgib 3y agoI bought my iPhone XS at launch and it just reached 80%, although on the latest version of iOS 80% doesn't get you as far as it once did. I'm not a super heavy smartphone user though.
