The iPhone has a better battery than expected. Not so much in terms of autonomy, but rather in terms of lifespan, and that is very good news for consumers!
Batteries are one of the most sensitive components of a smartphone, whether it is an iPhone or another model. Their internal chemistry deteriorates over time and with use, which explains why you should think about replacing it after two or three years to regain adequate autonomy.

Increased endurance for the iPhone 15 battery
The lithium-ion batteries used by Apple are designed to retain up to 80% of their original capacity after 500 full charge cycles. You can find out the exact percentage in the “Battery” > “Battery health and charging” settings. If the component falls below this threshold, Apple recommends a replacement (which costs around a hundred euros at an Apple Store or the manufacturer's network of approved repair shops).

Users of an iPhone 15 (all models together) will be happy that their smartphone's battery lasts significantly longer! Apple broke the news during the fourth beta of iOS 17.4, which is available for a few hours. After installation, a new information box will appear in the battery settings.

iPhone 15 retains up to 80% of its original battery capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles. Doubling the number compared to previous models: This postpones the deadline for battery replacement!
The improvement, which is welcome for the wallet and the planet, is the result of improvements that Apple has made to the components of its smartphones and to the energy management. The latest iOS 17.4 beta also changes the battery health display, which can be accessed directly from the battery settings.
