After a while, many
iPhone users observe a degradation in the lifespan of the
battery. There may be several reasons for this, such asbug
software
in iOS or an app that consumes excess energy, or
one morebattery wearwhich is reaching the end of its life.

To find out if the iPhone and iPad battery is defective and if it
is necessary to replace it, there is the app "Battery Life"
which allows you to instantly know the state of the battery (number of cycles,
temperature, etc.) of an Apple device.

With an old iPhone 5s that has been used a lot:

With an iPhone 6s Plus:

The app will approximately estimate the state of wear of the battery and give
a percentage and advise whether or not to proceed with the replacement. However
This measurement varied in our tests, interestingly, these are mostly
the raw data provided by the app and which concerns the battery.

For example, the app indicates thename of recharge cycles
of the battery, above 400-500 cycles, the battery shows signs of
fatigues and begins to discharge much more quickly than when new or
very can used.

In our tests, the app revealed that the iPhone 5s battery was
dying (which is the case and displays more than 1100 recharge cycles)
and you have to go and replace it at an Apple Store or a third-party repairer,
while the iPhone 6s battery was doing well.

The app isavailable for freeoniPhone and
iPad
