2-3 hours of screen time? Wtf
Nice vid mate😊
I've had and used iPhone 13 since its release, 93% battery health left with about 2 and half years of use. I sometimes let it go really low % and charge it full, but mostly I charge from like 30 to 40% to 90%-100%... I think its just bad if you repeatedly charge from 0 to 100%. Also if you use the phone a lot in demanding tasks that make it hot frequently, that probably also makes the battery degrade quicker from all the heat overtime. I'm a light user generally, so heat isn't really an issue for me.
Solid video!
i pay for 100 % i will use 100 %, not 80
you didnt get the point of the video
@@AkioFN i get the point, but i cant live with 60% only
@@darkboy1284 i respect that i cant either just saying he tried explaining how it helps yk?
You are talking like you paid last dollar you have to buy this iphone😂😂
@@RedOnepl i think ur a bit slow
92% with 280 cycles. This is on par with my old 13 Pro. About 5-6 hours screen on time strictly on LTE.
Many years ago I’ve read an article that you should charge the battery to 92% max. It’s basically the same with just a bit more of battery. I’ve been doing this ever since and I kinda can say when the phone has approximately 90-92% and that’s when I disconnect it from the charger. So this might be also an option for some people who find 80% not enough, me included.
I’ve had iPhone 15 since one month ago and I have to say that the battery discharges much faster than IP13. I’ve been a struggling with this at the beginning but now I just accept d it. I always charge in my car as I’m going far for work.
iPhone 15 Pro bought at the day one, now it have 273 cycles and 96% of battery healt, I have the 80% charge limit

Hello I have a Pti problem with my 15 pro when I start the screen recording with audio activated the image scrolls before the audio starts I changed iPhone more than 5 times always between the 15 pro series but always the same thing I wanted to know if the problem concerns everyone or it's me alone thank you for answering me I really need to know
Hi i watched your video it's very informative and helpful...
Looking at this video I would like to know something's better...
i recently purchased the iphone 15 pro max.. I also purchased the Magsafe wireless charger( keeping in mind the charging voltage and to promote battery health) .. Please can you share your experience... How do you charge your phone with the wired cable or wireless charging? And is it normal for it to get a bit warm?
Also do charge it with the case on?
I bought iPhone 15 Pro Max in November 2023. Until now, the cycle count is 250 cycles. The battery health still remains 100%. I always charge to 100% every night with the old Apple 5w adapter and sometimes charge with 25w during the day. The key factors I think affect battery health the most are temperature, wattage and charging time.
been charging it overnight with a Apple 12W power brick and only use the 20W charger if I’m near 30% during the day
My phone is at 275 cycle count and it’s at 91%, how the hell is your phone still at 100%?
I find that prolonging the health above 80% max capacity by only using 80% of the battery defeats the purpose. Youre trying to delay battery degradation by using your phone as if it has already degraded to 70% health from day 1. Also a lot of it is battery lottery. Batteries are not made equal. I charge to 100 every night and i still have the 100% health. Others might not be so lucky.
As you have said that you still have a 100% health in battery life, may I know for how long have you been using the device and is it like you charge it to 100% every single time? Do you make sure you drain the battery below 20% before changing or how do you maintain the cycle. Your information can help others too!
Thanks in advance.
@@k91vignesh Use optimized battery charging if you are gonna charge to 100%. It slows down the charging after it reaches 80% to prevent heat and damage to the battery. Personally if I'm gonna be staying home I charge with 80% limit, If I'm going out and using navigation (such as google maps) and streaming a lot of music, taking photos, etc. I will charge to 100%. In both cases I end the day with ~20-25% battery.
I’ve had the iPhone 15 pro for almost 5 days and I’ve been getting almost 8 hours of On Screen Time with hardly any idle screen time + another 8 hours on standby when sleeping and i love it. Went from trading in my 12 pro max for this was 💯 worth it
It was the same for me. 6 months later it’s draining very quickly. Used to be able to game on it all day
@@Soil_Bound well I’ve been charging it overnight with a Apple 12W power brick and only use the 20W charger if I’m near 30%
Had my 15 Pro Max since release week. First thing I enabled was 80% charge limit. Totally fine for me. I just checked and I am on only 96 charge cycles! The battery on this phone lasts me two days even when I limit charging to 80%. Like you I also turned Always-on Display off as I am not a fan of it on a phone (had it on old Android phones and turned it off there also). I don't know if it helps much with battery life (I also have a Watch Ultra 2 and I leave AOD enabled on that without any noticeable battery impact) but I just don't like seeing my phone screen on all the time as it distracts me.
What transparent case are you using? I was given a Nomad leather case for Christmas which is lovely but also a bit sad it hides the beautiful colour of the phone so have been thinking of picking up a nice non-grippy transparent case (by non-grippy I mean something that will slide in and out of my pocket easily not have some friction like the Apple silicone cases had which I hated).
96 Cycles, wow, thats impressive! Same feeling about AOD. The case I have is the TORRAS MagSafe iPhone 15 Pro Case. Non grippy and smooth, so you may like it. Some links: 🇺🇸 US amzn.to/3QmFQQX 🇬🇧 UK amzn.to/4baTxKC
@@ChuenL Thanks will check it out!
what's your average screen time?
@@Ok-vw9zz 5-6h weekdays, around 3 on weekends going by the screen time and battery numbers which sounds about right. I usually find if I charge my phone Friday evening (around 10pm say) it will last me until Monday morning when it hits 20% and I put it on charge while I have a shower. Currently on 100% health and 110 charge cycles fwiw.
Bought in October, 15 Pro at 95% at 253 cycles. Using a 20w Apple fast charger (Not MagSafe). Getting 6-7 hours of OST with heavy use.
Exactly the same.
@@IIAhmaDx I kid you not, from when I commented this to now, my phone dropped to 94% with 254 cycles.
@@MatthewVlossakI’m at 93%, 15 pro, with 295 cycles. Bought in September and with the same thing, using the 20w apple fast charger and around the same OST lol
@@cyrixgaming1760 Come September, it may be on par with the 14 Pro I had which was at 87% battery health in a year’s time. I don’t charge overnight either. I charge in the morning over breakfast. Lately, after iOS 17.15.1 I’ve had to charge the phone twice a day.
@@MatthewVlossakmy 15pro is 94% now with 264 cycle count
i have the simple iphone 15, bought November 10th last year so exactly 6 months and 10 days now.
Battery is at 99%, i charged it anywhere from 20, 25 to 85, sometimes very rarely 90. So not hitting the exact sweetspot, probably thats why lost of 1%..but still i would say pretty decent, i;m curious if 1000 cycles will last as Apple says..
i got 15 pro charging when ever im at home i got 184 cycles done from february and still on 100% health
The 15 pros battery is so pro
its not lol
Bought 15PM a little over 2 months ago and battery health dropped to 99% after 46 cycles. Sucks.
Really? Ive had mine for over a month with 59 cycles. It's still at 100%.
Meanwhile my 13 Pro has been at 90% for more than a year now. And my Macbook Air M2 is at 98% after only 40 cycles.
@@dsudre you have about 60 cycles in less than 2 months? You charge equivalent of 0 to 100 more than once everyday?
@@s1mplyFrost Kinda.
93% after 274 cycles
Bought 15pro in 8th March and battery health dropped to 99% after 110 cycles..is that normal??
Same question
15 Pro is at 100% battery health with 230 cycles
Wow, what is your usage of the phone? Do you charge often and with 80% limit or 100%? Do you charge at car? Mine dropped to 99% after 185 cycles. iPhone 15 pro.
Hoow? Please answer!!!🥺 do you use the 80% limit? And how much screen time? 5-6h per day??
Wow.. How did you charge? Please reply
@@markkanczler4314 I used Anker Magsafe charging , no limit to 80% using no less then 5% on minimum of battery life
@@romeshikagamage9396 I used Anker Magsafe charging , no limit to 80% using no less then 5% on minimum of battery life
My 15 Pro Max is at 99% battery health with 182 cycles
Is that good? I gonna buy ip15 pro max soon...
@@NUMAOFDUO I am not sure if it’s good or not. But it seems like most people drop down from 100 to 99 after 160 - 200 cycles of changes. Think it’s pretty normal i guess. What you should think about is that the Iphone 16 is just 4 months away though. But i can recommend the 15 Pro Max, it’s a great phone!
@@Mr.Tyrell99 Well i have a s20. And the design is kinda boring, the battery is bad (playing 30 mins -40%) and crashes in simple apps, like instagram, tiktok etc. I want to buy ip15 pro max, and i dont really understand cycles or battery health.
@@NUMAOFDUO You could just see it as a way to check how healthy the battery is. So i think as long as the phone is over 90% battery health it has good battery life. The cycles is how many times you have charged the phone up. And if you are upgrading from the S20 it will be a very solid upgrade in terms of battery, camera and design if you ask me. I love the design of the S24 series from Samsung, but the 15 Pro Max is quite nice! I have the titanium blue and i really love it!
Battery Health at 100% since November 2023 94 Cycle Count as of today
I am using 15 pro for 4 months , yesterday my battery health dropped 1% , now my battery health is 99% , is it normal? Cycle count is 122
Does the battery last you more than 2-3 hours
@@maikkisuomela7180 yes !
Battery lasts more than 6-7 hours easily!
Me too bro, yours is better, mine is after 110 cycle count.. 4 months of use too
