Hi, I am using an app called "battery life" for iphone and it always shows different amount of current battery capacity. One minute it shows 99% and the other 98% or 97% then 99% again. So I am asking is this app legit with this? ?

I am using it to see my cycles, temperature and current maximum capacity of the battery compared to the design capacity.

I care about it a lot :D My current battery capacity is 1653 mAh but sometimes it changes to 1670 mAh so I don't think it's trustable. It's hard to see how the capacity decreases and time you can use your phone is decreasing either

do you really notice the length of usable time?

no I understand that

 

but unless you do a controlled test, its going to be hard to work out, i mean maybe one day you play a game for an extra 5 minutes and your phone loses an extra half our of battery life etc

 

every single thing you do effects the life

Yes I understand, but if I had 100 % of capacity I can afford to play an extra 5 minutes.

Now I checked my battery health using iBackupBot and it showed that I have capacity 1700 mAh out of 1690 mAh and I think its wrong. Every one has after 100+ cycles capacity 99%+ but I have after 60 cycles only 98 %. What did I do wrong?
