On my 8 I can go to settings-battery-battery health.Is there a way to see your amount of battery life on your own? What percentage you have, without taking it to a store?

Can confirm this is the same for iPhone 7.On my 8 I can go to settings-battery-battery health.
Can you mail her with it? Problem solvedMail it in, mail in my daughter's appendage. Are you serious, lol.
Oh she would have to go back to an older phone she has. She cant get a new one right now. It's just BS that they dont want to honor the warranty. My phone is an android, older than hers and I dont have this issue. I'm sure we will have to cough up the $50.Here’s an article on how to optimize your battery. I found these were very helpful

I ended up making an appointment at the apple store and having the battery replaced, I figured $50 was better than $1000 on a new phone.
They are honoring the warranty- they will replace the battery if it falls below 80% max. I’m not sure why you think they aren’t following it.Oh she would have to go back to an older phone she has.

Ok, well if it states that in the warranty then yes. So I am guessing it does then?They are honoring the warranty- they will replace the battery if it falls below 80% max. I’m not sure why you think they aren’t following it.
I’ve found that my battery and my sister’s battery deteriorated at a quicker pace than my parents. Maybe her use is just heavier than yours.
You still need to go in and check the battery health/usage. There could be a rogue app or she could be using something that’s sucking her battery down. 86% on low power mode should be more than enough to last all day. *Something* is sucking her battery OR she’s using it way more than she says or not fully charging. My kids, all three (one full grown) are terrible about charging their phones. They wait until the phone is near dead, charge for 30mins and then complain their battery life sucks. I’m not saying that’s what your DD is doing but you can’t know the full picture until you look at battery health to see what’s happening. It will give you a TON of info.She says she puts it in low power mode at all times.
I am going to call them to see what they say because I dont want to drive 1.5 hours and not have an idea of what they will do. Probably will have to cough up the $50.

As far as Apple not honoring the warranty, A) as mentioned up thread warranty covers below 80% and B) you have not taken it to APPLE yet. You have no idea what they’ll do. Their CS is top notch, they want you to come back and generally go out of their way to help. I’ve had them replace my DD’s phone on the last day warranty no questions asked. Make an appointment, be honest and see what they say.
I will do this when she gets home. She has a long weekend off and headed to her grannys house. So I will have to wait until the next weekend to get started on it.And again, please look into her battery usage. The screen looks like this.
It's just BS that they dont want to honor the warranty.
I have to agree with you there. My issue with Apple is more about the way they operate and the fact that I live far from an Apple Store. We have had a number of problems with my girls' phones, but they're teenagers so I can't really compare their usage to what DH and I do with our Samsungs. We're old and predate that sort of technology, ha ha. But we have had multiple issues with Apple IDs, iCloud, and the girls' phones and other Apple devices getting crossed (4 daughters with Apple devices). And I HATE iTunes. But the phones themselves are superior in many ways to our S7/S8s. My s7 is probably about to get replaced because the battery is getting sluggish, I've used up most of my internal storage and I'm too lazy to figure out what to delete (I have most of my pictures on a memory card so it's files that's clogging the works). It's older and has been through multiple system updates, which I dislike because it always messes up my phone and changes the things I'm used to.I think most cell phones are crap. Apple, Samsung etc. I had an Android from Cricket. I went to take it off the charger one morning and it was dead not quite 18 mos old. Took it to store and they said that there was an internal error and I lost everything. I was so mad. They wanted $200 for a new phone. I went home and got my daughter’s original phone and put a SIM card in it and it is still working. All cell companies work the same. Every 2 yrs you need a new phone.
