To test your iPhone battery health, follow these simple steps: Navigate to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. Here, you'll find important information about your battery's Maximum Capacity and Peak Performance Capability.

If the capacity is significantly reduced, it might be time to consider a battery replacement to ensure your device runs optimally.
