The iPhone battery has always been a subject of debate, almost since the original model. Its duration and aging worry all users, which Apple wants to solve with optimized loads. Now something will change with the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.
And I’m not talking about any updates material of these models, no. I’m talking about the upcoming iOS 17 update, which will “double” the battery health of these iPhones. These are the benefits of the engineering effort Apple has put into its most modern phones.
500 to 1,000 charge cycles
It’s not every day that Apple realizes that it has underestimated its own products. It turns out that a reassessment of the iPhone 15’s battery capabilities resulted in a discovery: these models They are able to withstand twice as many charge cycles than his predecessors.
Therefore, Apple will take advantage of the upcoming iOS 17.4 update to “double” the battery life in the system settings. If before it took 500 charge cycles to reduce its maximum capacity to 80%, now 1,000 charge cycles will be required. Remember that a charging cycle is counted as each step from 0% to 100% of the battery, even if this is done in several charging “sessions”.
So, if you own an iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro, you will be able to see how the battery health will decrease half as fast as in previous models. More longevity, fewer worries.
More data and more peace of mind
In addition, with the arrival of iOS 17.4 we will also be able to see Additional battery health data. Not only its health status and maximum capacity percentage, but also the year the battery was manufactured and its date of first use. iOS 17 took these first steps a few months ago.
All this, of course, provided that the iPhone 15 has an original battery. If in the future it is replaced by a part that does not have authorization or has not followed Apple’s processes, then iOS will report that the part is not original and therefore can no longer be supported. charge. It is best to reserve unofficial part modifications when the iPhone is very old.
