I’m at 89% health on a 15 Pro after a year of 80% limited charging – which is less than what my 13 Pro ended up with after a year of optimized charging. I wonder if this is due to regular deeper discharges (I often end the day on 5% or less).

Seems like it’s not worth the hassle at all at least for me.




Just to add a data point: my iPhone 12 Pro Max stands at 82% with optimised charging after 4 years.

Not bad at all.


80% optimised charging, 100% battery life. iPhone 15 Pro, manufactred - September 2023, first use - November 2023.


I suspect it would work for me as I rarely dip below 50%. My current phone doesn't support it though.


89% health with 100% charge limit and “optimize battery charging” enabled.

15 pro max, first used October 2023.


97% battery on 15 Pro Max after one year of use (september 2023).

80% limiter has always been active.


15 pro optimised charging still at 100% health

Edit: since first use Sep 2023


vanilla 15 bought on launch day, 238 cycles, 98% condition.

I also set it to 100% when I know I won't be at my desk for longer than normal (i.e. trips).


I’m at 88% on an iPhone 14 purchased Nov 2022


There's always a variance in batteries, but yeah, deep discharges like that cause a lot of wear.
