About the battery and

performance of iPhone 11
and later
Learn about the new built-in software and
hardware system that iPhone 11, iPhone 11
Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and later use
to reduce performance impacts as your
battery chemically ages.

The new built-in software and hardware

system is automatic, always-on, and works to
provide the best possible performance as
battery aging occurs over time. The power
needs of iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11
Pro Max, and later are dynamically monitored,
and performance is managed so that it can
address these needs in real time. The
system is more advanced than previous
iPhone battery and power management
systems and allows your iPhone to reduce
performance impacts from battery aging.

About performance as batteries

age

While performance impacts are reduced as

much as possible, battery aging might still
eventually lead to noticeable, possibly
temporary, effects. Depending on the battery
state and the tasks that your iPhone is
handling, examples might include longer app
launch times, lower frame rates, reduced
wireless-data throughput, backlight dimming,
or lower speaker volume.

Check battery health on your

iPhone

All rechargeable batteries are consumables

and have a limited lifespan—eventually their
capacity and performance decline so that
they need to be replaced. To learn more
about your iPhone battery health and if a
battery replacement is recommended, go to
Settings > Battery > Battery Health.

If your iPhone performance has been

affected by an aged battery and you would
like to get help with a battery replacement,
contact Apple Support for service options.
