🔋 What Under 80% Means

Battery health compares your battery today with when it was new. Around 80% or lower, iOS may recommend service. Some models may also slow down a bit to avoid sudden shutdowns.

⏳ When It's Okay to Wait

  • Your phone still gets through the day.
  • It doesn't shut off on its own.
  • It feels as fast as it used to.

If that sounds like you, you can wait. Keep an eye on it.
