Poll: *** The Official iPhone 15 thread (it has USB-C and everything!) ***

I think so. My main PC I use for work is being replaced by a locked done corporate laptop. This means I'll need a new personal computer and for that I'd lean towards Apple. Thinking either a MBA M2 or and iPad Pro 12.9 M1 to go with a iPhone 15 Pro.
I might as well “ have an accidental accident” and pay the £79 for a replacement.That’s poor!a less than year old phone and the battery already down to 92% health. Makes you wonder if the £9.99 a month AppleCare is actually worth it.

Is 92% causing issues for you right now? At the rate of decline you may well be near 80% in a year's time, when it becomes a real problem.
Alternatively buy a 15 Pro Max
That’s poor!
My iPhone 12Pro battery was down to 80% and was struggling to do a day without recharging and that was with light use. The back was slightly bowed too I was told due to battery swelling which accounted for it getting hot at times. So nearest Apple service centre to me was at EE shop. They fitted a new battery for £92 and a new display too for free - guess they cracked it Point of this story is this was in June and battery is already down to 94% from 100%. That said battery life is good and goes all day so I’m not overly concerned.

87% here on 13 pro, near 2 years heavy use. It has sat at 87% for a few months tho, dropped to 90ish quite quickly and then stabilisied. I think it'll all depend on how you use it, how often you charge it etc.
Now for me to last a day I do need to drop it on wireless charger for 30 mins or so.

Apple September Event - 12th September 2023 @ 18:00 BST
So the big day is nearly here. After a lot of thinking, I'm not going to upgrade anything this year. I want to start a business and I'm saving up for that. On the other hand, new operating system releases will be fun and I'm looking forward to trying them out for the first time as I haven't used...

Are people going to be chatting here while the announcement is going on? Would be nice to talk as all the info gets released
Yep, it's tradition.

Yep, it will be full of previous gen iPhone users declaring the new Phone isn't worth it, and they will stick with their phone for a a little longer. Followed by the same people saying they have now pre-ordered

Think it'll be Pro Max for me and possibly pro for my wife (maybe just regular but she wants the camera I'd imagine) - then it's just to get rid of the iPad mini and AirPods cases then it's bye bye lightening connector
Mine is at 91%. Never normally below 94-95 after 12 months.That’s poor!

My 14 Pro Max was on 97% until July, and now it's on 93%. Running iOS17 beta's has absolutely butchered it, but that's my girlfriends problem in a couple of weeks, not mine

Do you do anything specific in terms of charging?
I usually stick my phone on charge when I go to bed every night — but I understand that's not the best procedure. My XS is on 75%, but I can't get a full day out of it. I put it on Low Power Mode as soon as I wake up and sometimes it needs a top-up charge before the end of the day.
Just wondering how you've kept a 2-year-old phone at 99%.
First of all I'm not a heavy user but I only charge my phone when it needs it. I don't leave it charging overnight for instance and I don't use a Magsafe charger either to leave it charging when I'm at my desk. If it gets down to 40% or 30% I stick it on charge until it is full.
