Those iPhone 14 battery complaints sound worrying

Although the iPhone 15 should soon be appearing, the iPhone 14 is still less than a year old. You would hope that after 11 months, the battery would still be going strong but there seems to be an increasing number of complaints about less than glowing battery health.

Most complaints aren't specifically noting shorter charge duration, but rather that the phone's own stats are stating that battery health has degraded, in some cases by 10% (see our pick of the best camera phones for alternatives).
