JeroenI don’t get it. I’ve been careful to keep my iPhone 17’s battery between 20% and 90%, yet the battery health is already down to 98%. I’ve only had it since October.
Duncan Horne@JeroenSchaper that’s pretty bad. In contrast my 16 pro max battery is at 91% and is around 16 months old.
Keir@duncandesi9n @JeroenSchaper FWIW my 15 Pro Max which I got on basically release day is at 86% and while I have charge limit set to 80%, i'm constantly plugging and unplugging it
@keir @duncandesi9n Odd that it’s way worse on my end. I did let it dip below 10% twice, but that shouldn’t be the issue. At this point I’m kinda done caring about it 😅 I seem to need the extra 40% juice anyways.
@JeroenSchaper @duncandesi9n haha yeah I mean no matter what you do, it’s gonna drop. Admittedly it seems to have dropped faster than I’d expect but 🤷🏻♂️
My MBP’s battery health has dropped really quite quickly, certainly much quicker than I’d expect but I use it plugged in 95% of the time so I don’t really get why with that either 😂
Sean@keir @JeroenSchaper @duncandesi9n I’m pretty happy with my 16 Pro’s battery ~1.5 years in, and I charge it to 90% every night
@keir @JeroenSchaper yeah I used to worry about making sure my iPhone never dropped below 20% but then you have those odd days where it runs out because you’re out and about and can’t get to a charger or whatever. After a while a started not fussing so much.
@duncandesi9n @JeroenSchaper yeah it’s all disposable really ultimately haha. These things are definitely not designed to last, batteries specifically so just have to assume it’ll need replacing if you keep the device a few years
@keir @duncandesi9n that’s true. I just hoped I could keep it at 100% for at least a year this time around 😅
@JeroenSchaper @duncandesi9n i don't think it's worth the effort to kinda worry about it too much really 😂
@keir @duncandesi9n slowly starting to feel the same! 😅
@duncandesi9n @keir Those days mine dropped below 20 as well. And I need to charge it twice on my office day (I get up at 4AM).
I also keep mine on a charger (cable) during the night. Perhaps that’s a habit I should get rid of. But I’m also at the point of not caring anymore and just charging it to 100%, like I said earlier.
