Apple doubles expected battery lifespan of iPhone 152024-02-21 16:50 by DanielaTags: Apple, iPhone 15
Apple confirmed that the iPhone 15 series offers tangible improvements when it comes to battery lifespan. All four iPhone 15 models can retain up to 80% of their original capacity after 1,000 charges under ideal conditions while previous models were rated at 500 charges for the same capacity. Apple revealed the updated battery lifespan metrics in a dedicated iPhone battery support page. Apple charged and discharged the batteries 1,000 times in controlled conditions, though there are no details of what these conditions were. In other words, though there has been no change to the hardware or software in the iPhone 15 series, users can feel the peace of mind in knowing that the battery will be going strong for longer than was previously thought. The development is due to "continued updates to battery components and power management systems over the years" and Cupertino is also investigating older iPhone models to see how their batteries stack up. There are multiple asterisks here as battery wear can vary greatly between users depending on a plethora of factors including regular use and charging patterns. Apple also revealed that starting with iOS 17.4, users will be able to see their battery's date of manufacture, date of first use, cycle count, and if a replacement is recommended. Depending on the battery state and the tasks that your iPhone is handling, a battery aging might cause longer app launch times, lower frame rates, reduced wireless-data throughput, backlight dimming, or lower speaker volume.
