iPhone 8 battery problem.

[JeremyS244]

I purchased a refurbished iPhone 8 from amazon and it arrived around 2 days ago. I restored a backup from my 5s and all is good. The battery life upon arrival was 100%; now 99% however the battery life is awful. I’m talking dropping 5+ % in 20 minutes. Idk if this is setup stuff or I’ve been scammed; any comments would be well appreciated!

Just sounds like a used/degraded battery. Most independent repair stores can replace it for under $100 and give you a warranty

Sounds like a degraded battery. Always something which could happen purchasing used

Ahhh ok I see; thanks for ur comments guys! Does the battery health mean little then?

Meant to say 99% battery health not life

Could be a horrible cheap replacement battery from Amazon aswell cause its refurbished

Ahhh ok; so theoretically if I took my phone to a apple bar thing and got a battery replacement, it should be function well?
