But experts talk say this na normal thing for smartphone battery life cycle.
Most modern phones dey powered by lithium-ion batteries. According to Bill Stein, tech support engineer for Dell Technologies, these batteries dey designed to last about two years under normal use. After that, the combination of daily charging and chemical ageing dey make battery begin lose power. For some people, di easiest solution na to change phone, while others fit just replace the battery.

Many people no sabi say background apps fit dey drain battery even if phone new. One user, Fred White, yan say for iPhones and iPads, apps dey run for background, and e dey reduce battery life. Apple support guide am how to close background apps completely, wey fit also make phone dey faster.
Other users recommend technical methods. Chris Chovanek suggest say make people run battery health scan. If some cells don dead, e fit be reason why battery dey fast drain.

iPhone batteries dey show problem around 80–81% capacity. Apple advise say replace battery if below 80%. But practical use matter too, if phone still dey last enough, no need rush replacement. Cheaper replacement batteries fit store less charge and no last long.
