iPhone 15 Rumours & Release Date

[NR7]

I don't bother with the 80% charging limit story.

Life is too short to worry/fuss over that.

To each their own (of course).

I was convinced that it was a great feature, along with a slow wattage Apple 18w charger to minimize heat.
Was still losing 1% BH per month in the months leading up to the launch of iOS26.

Was at 89% battery health when iOS26 came out and I disabled the limit, and changed to an Apple 30W fast charger.
6 months later the battery health hasn't dropped a percent.

Took my 15PM on a trip so was on 5G for the morning with some higher brightness.
Would last me a day without issues (I purposely avoided charging it when driving or topping it up at home for this test)

Out of curiosity I messaged my best friend who got his S24 Ultra around the same time, his stats show he gets about the same after 2 years

Just get a Magsafe power bank.

Worst battery health I've ever had from an iPhone.

15 Pro Max battery usage on iOS 27.0.1. WiFi Only and 5G disabled. Seriously impressed.



When it was brand new on iOS 17.4 it did 9.5 hours and had 30% left so definitely still some battery degradation (86% BH on 584 cycles) plus iOS related drain since 17.4.
