For context, my phone died this morning eventhough i went to bed with more than 50%. As a result my alarm did not ring and i woke up late for work. Utterly disappointed.
I figured out that by charging to 80% only and by increasing it by 5% each year, I will end up with charging to 95 or 100% in the fourth year when battery degradation will be at about 80%. That way I will have the same battery life experience exactly like first day, with no noticeable degradation in battery life.
Logic is that if battery health drops about 5% per year, and I increase max charge by 5%, I completely negate the effect of battery degradation. I use about 40-60% battery per day anyways so 80% now is plenty on 17 PM
Year 1 to 80%
Year 2 to 85%
Year 3 to 90%
Year 4 to 95 or 100% for extra 5% boost!
I am currently on 98% battery health on my iphone 17PM with ios 26.4.2 , idk i get 7-8 hours of SOT normally and 10hrs sot without internet
Now i am curious about the update ios 26.5 will it make my battery better or will worsen it ??
Because I don’t wanna upgrade if it affects my battery i am already cooked with the ios 26.3 earlier so plz let me know if any of you have upgraded 🙏
I blame myself for buying this rotten Apple! iPhone (17 base)
Long live Samsung!!! ✨
I am traveling away from home (Spain) and my iPhone battery died 2 months ago. I was going to buy a battery but instead I bought a new iPhone because it was so much cheaper in the USA than in Spain. Someone told me to keep the old dead phone plugged in at all times which I’ve tried to do although there have been some lapses due to travel. The SIM card is real in the old phone but I think my Spanish carrier will be able to change it to an eSIM, which the new phone requires. But Im very anxious about whether there will be a problem and I’ll lose my Spanish phone number, etc.
I hope I’ve been paying my Spanish phone account. I just tried to check but the site was down. I fear my account and phone are linked to a dead phone and can Movistar,my provider have canceled my account? Im going home tomorrow and full of anxiety about this.
I bought this iPhone 15 brand new in April , and today we are in 21th May and battery went down to 99% after 47 cycles ? Is there something to worry about ?
Can anyone give me a minute and tell me if I’m in a good condition or I my phone is in abused condition? Battery seems fine; no sudden drop in percentage but I feel that it is draining way too fast now that I am required to charge it 2-3 times a day depending on usage.
I bought my 17 Pro Max back in November. I’ve been strictly following the 20-80% charging rule and I don’t even use the phone for gaming. Despite all this care, my battery health has already dropped to 98% after 110 cycles.
I’m not necessarily worried about the health drop itself, but I’ve noticed something frustrating: people who charge their phones to 100% and don't care about these 'best practices' often have 100% battery health at the same (or even higher) cycle count.
It feels like this 20-80% rule is pretty much useless.
Slowly crawling towards my AppleCare replacement battery
I have a base iPhone 17, within 50 cycles it went down to 99%, and then i checked today and that’s what i see, i rarely let it go under 20% and i have the charging limit set to 90%,i don’t use the phone while charging idk what else could cause this
This is NOT supposed to be a 15 Pro battery (89% bh).
FYI
latest ios 26
no always on display
no 5g (i use lte and mostly wifi)
disabled background activity of apps
what the f*ck
Compré un iphone 16 pro usado este año, tenia 100% de bateria a 209 ciclos, pero en 2-3 meses se me fue asi la bateria, normalmente hago 1 ciclo y medio por dia, tengo la carga optimizada activada, y uso el celu bastante, pero me parecio raro, la ultima vez paso de 96 a 95 en una semana, no se si es normal o si estoy haciendo algo mal
For context i have adaptive battery on and its a week i am getting around 6hr max and its been 3-4 days . Any tips on improving it or is it normal . And how to reduce screen idle drain?
