Apple Confirms: iPhone 15 Series Batteries Have Longer Lifespan

Apple has recently announced the battery lifespan of its latest iPhone models, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro lineup, saying the iPhone 15 series has better battery lifespan than previous models.

This comes as the tech giant updated its initial claims about the battery cycle lifespan, revealing that the iPhone 15 devices can now retain 80 percent of their original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles.

This is in stark contrast to the previously stated 500 cycles.

According to Apple, this improvement in battery longevity is the result of ongoing updates to the battery components and power management systems implemented over the years. The company conducted rigorous testing involving 1000 charge and discharge cycles under typical usage scenarios to arrive at this new assessment.

The extended battery cycle lifespan applies specifically to the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. Previous iPhone models are still rated to maintain 80 percent capacity at 500 complete charge cycles.

However, Apple has mentioned that it is currently looking into the battery performance of older iPhone models as well.

For iPhone 15 users, Apple advises checking the battery charge cycle count in Settings > General > About and scrolling to the bottom most part to see how many charging cycles the battery has already done.

Apple does not provide battery cycle information for older iPhone models, limiting this feature to the latest devices. (GFB)
