In the sixth beta of iOS 14.5, Apple introduced a recalibration process for the battery health indicator system on the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The feature is intended to fix inaccurate battery health estimates for some users.
Apple has already stated that this process could take a few weeks to complete successfully. Since two weeks have now passed since the sixth beta of iOS 14.5 published The first reports are documented that the battery status shows higher values. The 9to5Mac author Benjamin Mayo tweetedthat the maximum battery capacity of its iPhone 11 Pro has increased from 86 % to 90 %. In a support document explained Apple said that this bug with inaccurate battery health reports does not reflect a problem with the iPhone's actual battery health and that the recalibration process should fix the issue.
iOS 14.5 could be released as early as next week
iOS 14.5, coming later this spring, includes an update that will recalibrate the battery health reporting system to show maximum battery capacity and peak power on iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max to fix inaccurate Battery Health Report estimates for some users. Symptoms of this bug include unexpected battery drain behavior or, in a small number of cases, reduced peak power capabilities. This inaccurate battery health reporting does not reflect a problem with the actual battery level.
When the process is complete, the new percentage will be displayed and the corresponding message will be removed. In a small number of cases, the recalibration may not be successful. During this process, a battery service message will be displayed. In this case, an authorized Apple service provider can replace the battery free of charge to restore full performance and capacity, Apple says. The company assures that there is no security risk for customers. iOS 14.5 has been in beta testing for over two months and could be released as early as next week. Apple will host a virtual event on Tuesday, April 20 at 7 p.m., where at least one new iPad Pro is expected. (Photo by Unsplash / Daniel Romero)
