I recently got a brand new iPhone just a month ago, and I've been super careful about my battery usage since my last phone's battery degraded really fast. However, I've ended up using it way more than I planned, logging around 60 hours of phone calls in the first four weeks. Yesterday, I didn't use my phone at all, and I noticed the battery dropped by 9% even with low power mode on. Could my phone be showing signs of battery decline already?

Honestly, a 9% drop in a full day without usage doesn't seem too bad. Phones always use a bit of power in the background. Just make sure all your apps are up to date and try restarting your phone. Sometimes, glitches can cause extra battery drain.
iPhones can be a mixed bag. Sometimes they don’t have the best battery performance, especially if you're using a lot of background apps. But you might just be overthinking this. 9% isn't terrible!
If you're really concerned, it could be worth considering a return. Just to be safe, you know? But honestly, 9% over a day isn’t alarming if you weren't using it.
I thought the same thing—9% per day? That's pretty standard. You might be looking for problems that aren't really there. It's normal for any smartphone to consume a bit of battery even when idle!
Definitely worth checking the settings and making sure nothing is running in the background.
