Gone But Not Forgotten: What a Reset Does (and Doesn't) Do to Your Battery Health
A reset wipes your iPhone clean like a digital Mr. Clean, but it doesn't mess with the battery's internal health data. That information is stored deep within the iPhone's core, like a stubborn stain on your favorite shirt.
Behold! The Magical Battery Health Menu
So, how do we unlock the secrets of our battery's well-being? Here's where the real magic happens:
- Grab your iPhone (hopefully, it wasn't part of the reset!).
- Head into Settings.
- Scroll down and tap on Battery.
- Now, the moment of truth! Look for Battery Health & Charging.
This is your battery's personal report card. You'll see:
- Maximum Capacity: This is the big kahuna. It shows how much juice your battery can hold compared to when it was brand new. The closer to 100%, the better!
- Peak Performance Capability: Is your iPhone giving it its all, or is it holding back to protect the battery? This section will tell you.
Important Note: It might take up to 48 hours for the iPhone to recalibrate the battery health reading after a reset. So, don't panic if the numbers aren't perfect right away.

While Apple's built-in tool is great, some folks crave even more battery details. If you're one of those data aficionados, you can consider using third-party apps. Just be sure to download them from a trusted source!
Remember: These apps might provide additional insights, but they shouldn't contradict the information in your iPhone's Battery Health menu.
