I’d say my phone isn’t doing bad … 11 months in: 14 Pro Max. I don’t massage it or do anything special, just charge it overnight and not again during the day.

iPhone 14 batteries are losing capacity quicker than normal
Owners of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are complaining about battery health — but it's not at all clear yet if this is an actual issue. AppleInsider looks at the data.appleinsider.com
Nah had a 12 Pro for 14 Months and the battery when I sold was 90%
14 Pro is at 88% after 10 months.
Same usage. They definitely screwed me with the 14 Pro

Probably not, iPhone is water resistant, a wet surface is hardly going to cause damage. Are you noticing any obvious issues?Hello. I accidentally placed my phone on a wet surface. I immediately removed it and dried the device. Has the water been able to damage my phone ( for example, maybe the sounds)?
