I've had my iPhone for just over a year, and I've hit around 559 charge cycles. My battery capacity is sitting at 85%, but I'm noticing that the battery drains really quickly, even when I'm on low power mode. Is this normal or is there something I can do to improve it?

Batteries will always degrade over time, no matter how you use them. Anything over 80% battery health is considered okay. Here are some tips:
* Make sure you have 'optimized battery charging' turned on.
* Avoid setting a charge limit; it’s better to keep it charged than let it run completely out.
* Keeping 'low battery mode' on constantly doesn’t help battery health.
* If you have a newer iPhone, turn on 'Adaptive Power'.
Really, the battery health percentage can be misleading. It’s not worth stressing over!
You're pretty much in the normal range with battery cycles. Sometimes it can hover around 87% for a bit, but that’s nothing to worry about.
Sounds like you're getting a decent amount of use out of your iPhone. I'd recommend turning off Background App Refresh for any apps that don’t really need it and maybe dimming your screen a bit more. Those two things can be huge battery drainers! But hey, if you ever need to replace the battery, it’s around $99, which breaks down to just pennies for all the time you use the phone. Just keep it updated and don’t forget to back up to iCloud!
