🔋 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.
