What is your iPhone battery health (and how old)?

[dakaiez]

13 Pro Max had since December 2021 - heavy user and charge overnight every night and it's sat at 85%.

Not bad considering it's almost 2 and a half years old and gets battered daily.

The amusing thing about using local EE shop to replace the battery was that after I had to wipe the phone for security purposes he told me he would txt me when my phone was ready. I explained it might be a waste of time as I wouldn’t have a phone. Gave him my mrs number and off we went round town. I was told it may be about an hour. Never heard anything after a couple of hours or so, so called back to be told phone had been ready ages and that he had sent me a txt - not the Mrs. Never seem to dawn on him he had my wiped phone

Sounds like a bit of a plonka. How much did EE charge? Does apple certify their battery replacements?

Hmm, didn’t fill me with confidence As too cost then I just looked it up instead of going from memory. It was actually changed on 26th June last year so it’s only 11 months old and they charged £90. As to Apple certifying battery replacement then as far as I can tell it’s 90 days but dont know for sure.

I just ran battery stats and original capacity was 2910mAh and current max charge is 2162mAh with cycle count of 213. A quick calc is 74% unlike the displayed 78%.

14 pro at 90%, had since last year june so around 11 months

 

[Lustral]

100% still after 10 cycles on my 15 Pro since 29/4/24

 

[Ghuraba]

100% with 160 cycles iPhone 15 pro max. Normally about this stage battery starts to decrease based on my 12,13 and 14 history. Just charge to random levels based on what I need. Don’t use optimum charging.

Launch day iPhone 11 here now down to 83%. Not bad for over 4 1/2 years old

 

[syke]

100% with 129 Cycles since September with Charging Optimization on

 

[beachBOYken]

73 cycles, 100%, 15pro, bought November, charging optimisation 80% limit.

 

[mattpj]

15 pro max owned since November.
233 cycles and battery at 95%.
I did have it on 80% mode from the first week onward and it’s made naff all difference.

My launch day 11 seemed to stick at 87% for ages. Over past few months though, it plummeted. 3 weeks ago it was down to 83%. Today it’s down to 81%

interesting.
15 pro max since Novemeber also
224 cycles but with 80% mode on since launch
100% battery health .

 

[Broken Hope]

15 Pro, 272 cycles 98% used standard charging.

Launch day 14 Pro, been at 88% for a couple of months now, seems to have settled there for a while. I think once it reaches around 80% I'll get the battery replaced and try to keep the phone for long term.

That *is* interesting

Presumably there is some truth to the lucky "chemistry" of some batteries

For example, I had a 11 pro max that took 3 years to go to 98%, then a year later it was on 86%. I've never had a phone's battery hold up so well and I didn't need to know the numbers to know how well it was going either.

Honestly, despite the better screen and better performance (I was ok with the 11 honestly) I regretted switching.

My 15 Pro is down to 99% health now, 223 cycles.
