iPhone battery maximum capacity if unused
Discussion
Hi all
Grateful for your thoughts.
I’ve bought a new(unused) iPhone SE 2020 recently which has been previously opened and is unboxed. I’ve discovered the battery maximum capacity is 84%. I’ve asked the vendor who has justified this by saying that normal degradation has caused this. I’m somewhat sceptical. Grateful for your wisdom on this
Thanks
David

The definition of ‘unused’ is taken very very loosely by auction site retailers
At best it’s ‘unused by an end customer for a significant period of time’
Often they are ex display, which have never been ‘used’, but have still been switched on and interacted with daily for the last 2 years!

They’re fibbing.
If you have a Mac, try coconut battery, else try this and it should tell you the number of cycles it’s been through:
