Based on my experience in the past 6s & 8, people are too obsessed with % battery health. Regardless of your usage battery degrades over time. Noticeable lower performance within 2 years. As long as Apple don't restrict performance like they did in the 6 battery in the past I don't see this is as major problem. Even most android phone don't have that % health like that, mostly only shown perfect/good/bad.

PeterThePanda, 09 Aug 2019Sooner or later, Apple's gonna put some "security chip" on ... moreand they gonna price their repair price close to new iPhone, or maybe 80% of new iPhone, to "encourage" you to just buy a new iPhone

They're like turning a phone into a subscription service.
All repairs must go through Apple. Hence their security chips on MACs, no way to get your data from a ssd, if mobo fails.
