Description

The iPhone 14 Pro packs a 120Hz ProMotion screen, an Always-On display and the A16 Bionic chip into a 6.1-inch body. When the battery is new, Apple quotes up to 23 hours of video playback. If yours now needs a top-up by lunchtime, the battery has probably aged, and replacing it costs £70 here.

Is it time? What to look for

Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging and look at Maximum Capacity. Apple designs iPhone 14 batteries to hold about 80% after 500 full cycles, so readings in the low 80s or 70s are normal for an older 14 Pro. Other clues:

Sudden shutdowns, especially in the cold or with the camera open
A “Service” note next to Maximum Capacity
The phone feels slower after an unexpected shutdown
The percentage jumps around, for example 30% then off

What people ask about the 14 Pro battery

Mine says 84%. Is that worth replacing?

There’s no fixed cut-off. If the phone still gets you through the day, you can wait. If it shuts down early or you’re charging twice a day, a new battery will make a clear difference. Apple explains how capacity and peak performance work in its iPhone battery and performance guide.

Why does my phone feel slow?

After a shutdown caused by a weak battery, iOS can apply performance management. Apple lists effects such as longer app launch times, lower frame rates and a dimmer backlight. A healthy battery removes the cause.

Will the battery health figure still show?

If the replacement isn’t a genuine Apple part or can’t be verified, the iPhone may flag it as Unknown in Parts and Service History and the health reading may not be accurate. Ask us about the battery for your model at the counter.
