What you're seeing is not pause for concern. On "average" you may see about a 1% decline in battery health for "about" 50 cycle charges. The percentage show is only in whole number, not fractions of numbers. But batteries don't decline in only whole numbers. So, 280/50 = 5.6. Your battery health is 94%, but is likely 94.something %, which would be completely normal after 280 cycles.

What "power utility" are you referring to? Is this an Apple app?


I would not trust a 3rd party app, if that is what you are referring to. The Apple battery settings on your iPhone are correct.


Your battery is doing just fine. You do not need to be concerned about the battery.


Replace the battery when the Battery Health / Maximum Capacity dips below 80%.

But also power util showed its at 89 so i really dont know i smt is wrong
