I agree. I've not babied it or such like, treated it the same as all my other phones.It really is the dark arts. My 15 Pro bought release day Sept ‘23 is at 89%.

Apple dominated the best-selling smartphones list of 2024
2024 was another milestone year for Apple as Cupertino dominated global smartphone shipments. Per the latest Canalys sell-in estimates, Apple had seven of the top-ten most shipped phones of 2024 with the iPhone 15 crowned as the leading device.
Samsung was the only other brand featured in the top-ten chart, with its Galaxy A15, A15 5G and S24 Ultra making the cut.
The iPhone 15 earned an estimated 3% of the 1.22 billion smartphones shipped in 2024. Based on that number, Apple shipped 36.6 million units of its previous-gen base iPhone last year. The iPhone 16 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max were the second and third most shipped phones of 2024.

Just replace the battery?Would like some advice as I am looking on getting a 15 pro 128/256
Currently have a 12 and getting R7500 from an estimate at iStore battery has dipped passed 80% unfortuately.
Is this a good time to get a 15 pro? How has it been so far?
Warranty as you cannot buy this new from iStore anymore not sure how it works if I buy on takealot or Amazon as there is only stock of it new on these stores.
What about iStore Preowned? Anyone had experience with them and know whether to get the better or is it worth the extra 1000 to spring to the best condition grading?
Battery SOT is important currently get 6-7 hr on my 12 so assuming it should be more
Don't mind but feel as the device gets older it will lose value and then not be worth it to trade inJust replace the battery?
An Apple spokesperson told Daring Fireball’s John Gruber (via MacMagazine) that a future iOS update will enable Visual Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro models through the Action Button, just like on the recently announced iPhone 16e. There are no details on when exactly this will happen, but presumably the feature will be added with iOS 18.4.
Poor @DolbyWell I will be damned, the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max continues to get new features.![]()

Visual Intelligence coming to iPhone 15 Pro with a future update
Apple Intelligence is available for iPhone 15 Pro and later, but there’s an exclusive feature for iPhone 16 models, which...9to5mac.com
15 Pro Max update. 156 cycles 288 days. Charge limit 80%. Always using an 18w slow Apple charger.
You’ll get a 1000 cycles plus. My 14 is 87% and 396 cycles after a year and a half.208 cycles, one year. Charge limit 80%. 97% battery health. 80% charge limit on 18w Apple charger.
Went on holiday for a week and used 100% battery limit plus 30w Apple charger, 3 extra cycles and down to 96% now.
So crazy. 156 cycles and 100%, an extra 55 cycles drops it to 96%...
Yeah no escaping that 3-4 year battery replacement no matter how expensive your phone is.
My 15 Pro Max is on 354 cycles and at 95% battery health now.

Just hit 95% on only 216 cycles with it set to 80% max and 14w wired charging for most of its life.
What's your charging situation? Fast charging? Wireless? Do you use wired or wireless Apple Carplay?
