I'm pretty sure 88% health means like 80% original capacity since iPhones actually shut off at 20% real capacity to protect the cell.

Assuming that’s correct, by me not janitoring my battery for over 2 years I still have double the capacity of the guy who I originally replied to

I really do not understand how that’s worth “a lot of manual toil”
