How soon your battery degraded for 15 PM ?

Guys, it seems 15 PM battery degraded pretty soon for me as compared to all the old models I have owned. It literally took 1.5 years to reach 80% with 1002 cycles. I am really curious about other people’s battery health and how long did you wait for a new battery replacement. I am not even a power user and had to charge the phone multiple times a day only after 1 year.

So, please share your thoughts and are there any hacks/settings you used to keep it running for long. It’s frustrating that the battery now needs replacement before 2-2.5 years.

I learnt that closing the apps like X, Reddit, FB, maps, etc does help a lot as they do drain your battery like crazy when running in the background.

Worth the upgrade?

I currently own a horrible condition 11 pro max, 74% battery health and probably the worst looking back known to human mankind. My budget currently allows me to upgrade to an iPhone 15 Pro Max at the most. heres my question to yall, how does it hold up in 2026? in terms of a battery thats over 90% in health and other performance related stuff.

Battery Issues 26.6.1

I’ve noticed my battery draining considerably faster on my 15PM since the update to 26.6.1. Has anyone else had this problem?

Iphone 15 Pro Max - Zero Signal - No SOS, Blank Dots - have reset all that can within the device...cannot login to account to reset ESIM because I cannot recieve SMS

Totally at the mercy of wifi overseas. This has happened 3 times prior but has sorted itself on its own and I've been home so not a huge deal. But now I'm kind of in trouble. ATT has been useless to help.

Overheating

my 15PM first had overheating issues when i got the phone in april 2024, I took it to the apple store and they said its because i used snapchat too much (?) which i used to have a 13PM and never had that issue.

fast forward to now and the overheating is back and worse than ever, to the point where my phone can’t even be used because it is too hot.

i was waiting for the 18PM to come out to upgrade but genuinely considering upgrading to the 17PM because of this overheating issue.

is this happening to anyone else?

Looking at upgrading to 15PM

Hey everyone I am using a 13PM but am running out of storage and am thinking of upgrading to a 15PM or newer. I would really appreciate any feedback if you’re happy with your phone or if you wish you had the 16/17 or miss your old phone.

Do you think Apple will fix overheating issue?

In the last 6 months, I have seen countless tik tok videos, hundreds of threads and facebook posts and X threads regarding I Phone overheating and what to do

Appears Apple will never address this widescale issue

How much life does my 15 pro max realistically have left in it?

Today my dad asked me if i would like a new phone for my birthday and this is the first time ive turned him down since im genuinely not compelled to upgrade. Ive had my 15 pro max since launch, coming on 3 years old with 79% battery health (1111 cycles), 480gb/512gb used and running ios 18.7.8.

Some important details:

  1. Im not updating iOS unless im absolutely forced to. I hate how ios 26/27 look and ive seen mixed reviews about both versions, ios 18 runs like a dream and is still fully supported

  2. Im not replacing the battery. I dont wanna risk getting dust/smudges on my camera and phones with replaced parts (even if genuine) are worth significantly less on the used market in my country. And even then, it would irk me knowing my phone has been opened up and having that replaced part notification to the point where i would sell the phone, but thats just me being weird lol

So, realistically, how much time left until issues arise? I might get icloud in the future if i cant manually free up any anymore.

iPhone 15 PM, updated to 26.6 : overheats since day one (july 27th)

First of all, thanks to all people who want to help and/or share their experience.

That'a not my first rodeo with Apple as I have been using iPhones since 2010. As soon as I use any app, phone gets hot and battery drains.

Everything was fine before the update. No need to reply for the whole day.

What should I do/check ?
