Of course, a lot depends on the user in terms of battery life.
Since the battery scandal, Apple has become increasingly transparent about the capacity of the lithium-ion batteries built into iPhones. Support the company's products side It details that under normal conditions, iPhone batteries should reach at least 80 percent of their original capacity even after a certain charging cycle. Until now, this meant 500 standardized cycles, but now Apple has increased this parameter to 1000 cycles for the iPhone 15 series.
the com. hwsw According to Apple, Apple changed the longevity after the devices underwent tests simulating real-world conditions months after launch. These results are said to have been much better than expected. The company has left open the possibility of recalculating the life expectancy of previous models as well, so it's easy to imagine that the manufacturer will soon make upward corrections for other series as well.
From the summer of 2025, just like large household appliances and TVs, among other things, smartphones will also be equipped with an energy label, where even in the case of the category indicating the worst efficiency, the battery must last at least 80 percent of the modern capacity. For at least 800 cycles.
Of course, a lot depends on the user in terms of battery life. So, for example, it is worth avoiding charging at night and completely discharging or fully charging, as very hot and very cold weather can also be bad.
