100% Battery Health Has Changed - Dropping Fast
100% battery health isn’t what it used to be - dropping fast - iPhone battery health is something many people are concerned with and now it seems battery health and battery life is dropping faster than ever. In this video I show iPhone flagships throughout the years and how the iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro have held up every year and how quickly they dropped to less than 100% battery health. I also show how I charge iPhone, what charger I use and how iOS 16 and iOS 17 have affected battery with optimized battery charging options and more. #iOS17 #iPhone #Apple

Thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time!
iPhone 14 Pro here. 13 months old and I’m at 86%. People deny it but there’s a real and valid issue with these batteries.
True however the drop in percentage doesn’t seem to be consistent at all. Mine was 100% for a long time, then dropped veryyy fast up until 88%. Now it’s going much slower, I’m on 87% for the past *months* now. I’ve had months where it dropped 2% (yes, in 1 month). My iPhone 14 Pro is now 16 months old. 86% after 13 months is crazy tho. How many times do you charge??
@@GamingPIPI I charge my phone every night out of habit whether it has 80% or 5%. Especially now that iOS has nightstand mode as I use it all the time. iPhone 15 PM purchased upon release and my battery shows no indication of abnormal drain or health. I sometimes wonder if the software used to measure battery health is truly valid.
Yes, it’s called a consumable part. Batteries go bad. All of them. Personally I think the manner of testing battery health has more of a problem than the actual batteries do.
@@HesperianHorsePower batteries are consumable yes but to have a 14% drop in a year is a bit much. My brother in law just found his old iPhone X he purchased new and used daily until he upgraded. Guess what percentage it was at? 87%. Mine is a year old and is at 86%? Sounds off to me
Batteries can very in performance and there’s no way of telling if you’ve got a good or bad one. The majority are good but there will be some that aren’t lucky ones. Usually Apple offers a two year warranty and that should suffice for those with a bad one.
13 pro max on release software was GOATED 😭. I wouldn’t even worry about a cable because I knew no matter what I did, I could make it home with battery life.
That device was amazing for battery.
i knowww, was awesome, mine is at 85% battery health, but its not the max, just the normal pro, and yeah it still last me thru the day but if I don't use it that much
@@armen7932and was pretty much optimized for that released update
Yes and Apple made a mistake with this, they don't care about the consumer. That's why it will impact their sales. So they flunked the battery in IP14 Pro
Yup same, now I have to charge in the middle of the afternoon everyday, even with somewhat low usage
My girlfriend's phone is at 84 percent on her Xr and she has 1198 cycles . . . Now that's some crazy good battery after 5 years of daily use!
On an Xr? Seriously?
They dont make em like this anymore. Apple is just making phones with cheaper batteries now.
Tell her to keep going
I have 78% on my Xr, i picked up mine at launch and been using it to the max since.
Had to replace my XR battery after ~1350 cycles and almost five years (It was down to 79%). But since a few months I switched to the 15 Pro and sold the XR. Best decision 👌. It is still at 100% and 103 cycles.
I’m using 80 % limit since the beginning and never let it drop below 30 %. Since it has all day battery life I only need to charge it about 30 mins. a day. 205 cycles and still 100 %.
It will still drop soon. That 80% limit doesn’t seem to make much of a difference nor does charging it before it drops to 20%
@@zollotechDas sehe ich genauso. Apple hat ein Problem mit den Akkus!
I do the same with my 13 pro max and have had it 2 years still at 100%
15 pro here. Went from 100% to 96% in one month. Let me clarify. Day one owner since Sept. Remained at 100% until March. Dropped from 100 to 97, then a week later to 96.
Pretty sure you're meant to replace your battery every year... they don't design their battery to last you more than 2 years. Just 2 years top.
@@WOTM8 This is absurd 4% in one month 😵💫😵💫
@@anixxbel759 yeah! well.. they seal the battery back for a reason... and now they trying to find a way to get around the latest EU law that says "All phone should have removable battery back by 2027 for promoting sustainability" ALL in the name of being "green". But I don't blame them.. Apple sheep are so dense that Apple can do that and no Apple fanboys actually realize what's happening under their nose. Those fanboys deserve to be treated as what they are.
Crazy. My Launch 15 pro 176 cycles 100% health from apple 97% from analytical data.
@@quadrosglenn Well replacing the battery will fix your problem..
I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max and picked it up just 2 weeks after its launch. Been using it daily, and still at 100% battery health, with 181 cycle count. I think the battery health is even better than my 12 Pro honestly.
I wish I could say the same. I am at 139 cycles and at 97% capacity. The last really good phone I had was the 13 Pro Max. It didn’t fall below 100% until about 7 1/2 months into use. My 12 Pro Max, my 14 Pro Max was hot garbage, and so is my 15 Pro Max. I understand what Aaron is saying about hiding that, but even if Apple hides it I can clearly tell that my phone isn’t doing as well. I take it off the charger and within 45 min it’s at 99% or 98%.
Give it a couple more updated then it will drop to 96%/95% and then you will think the battery is bad but its normal.
Tbh 12 Pro didn’t set the bar high, in fact, 12 series iPhones have some of the worst battery life in past decade.
Look, you'll be down to 98 in just a week
I have had iPhone 15 pro max since October with 100% battery health at 123 cycle counts with the 80% limit turned on. I use an older 12w iPad charger with a usb a to usb c cable which keeps the phone cool while charging.
I’ve been using a phone that says service battery for two years, still works fine
My 12 mini is at 77% and is recommended for service. I do however have to charge multiple times a day.
@@Anton-oy3vm below 80% is a inconvenience just go get the battery changed
I think the 12 mini has less than desirable battery life even at 100% battery health.
@@Anton-oy3vm My old 11 that I traded in before my current 15 Pro, my old 11 had 74% when I traded it in after 4 years. I have an IPhone 15 Pro. Mine is at 99%. I have had the phone since Oct 19, 2023. I have 120 cycles.

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Personally, I am not concerned about my 15 Pro Max’s battery life. I am just grateful that I have it for it’s awesomeness.
@@GSVSurgeon contact Apple about this because it's not good.. I don't have any heating issues. Only when i charge the phone wireless in the car.
My exact thoughts every time I hear about battery length and life. The difference between the 15s is not enough to get a basic or plus instead of my dope ass pro
@@Tha-King-Arthur its kind of ok with new beta update
I thought faster battery health degradation was a myth until I experienced it myself… I bought the 12PM, 13PM, 14PM, and 15PM on launch day each year.. I use my phone basically the same amount/same way for the past few years… and during this time each year, my battery health is ALWAYS at either 99%-98% … but this time it at 95%…. (no overt changes in usage pattern overall, no battery charging habit changes either)… this is ridiculous. I want the same high-quality battery from the past few years.
I’ve had the opposite happen to me. Older iPhones degraded much quicker. My 11 pro went down to 89% in 6 months and then stabilised for 2 years. My 15 is still at 100%
It's a myth
This consistency is crazy… keep it up!
My 15 PM is my first ever iPhone. I'm at 66 cycles and it's at 99%. I don't charge my phone every night, and I have optimized charging & clean energy charging on.
I got an iPhone 15 Pro Max and its 98% after 63 cycles. Got it since Dec 2023.
Glad I didn’t buy it, knew it from the start, 15 series is full of problems
@@tullo5564😂 full of problems? Please stop. If you didn’t want it or couldn’t afford it then say that. Every phone has a few issues here and there. If people aren’t perfect, what makes one think the products they created will be perfect too? Smh

Thank you so very much for your content I really appreciate it Aaron ❤😊on my iPhone 15 Pro my battery is still at 100% for now

Same here and to switch off background app refresh off
I haven’t had any beta software. I got my 15 pro max in December and I’m already at 98% with about 130 cycles
I have 99% after 110 cycles (no beta) and i only charge to 80% I expected it to stay at 100 for at least 8 months kinda disappointed..
I don’t think I’ve ever checked battery health at all. The battery is going to be fine over the life of my ownership of the device and I e never had an issue. I’ve never run a battery dead by the end of the day and in fact usually have 40-50% left even with heavy use. I don’t understand people’s obsession with battery stats. If you really want to save battery time just turn your phone off! Me, I just go on living my life and don’t worry about it.
@@HesperianHorsePowerI agree. It’s ok to know if you’re noticing that something’s wrong or the battery won’t last much, how it is and if the warranty covers it. Besides that…only to get mad
I’ve commented a few times on your videos over the last few months. My iPhone is now at 122 charge cycles and it’s at 92% battery health 15 pro max bought launch day. This is the worse I’ve ever seen an iPhone go down.
My 15 ProMax bought a couple weeks after launch is at 98 cycles and 100% health.
164 cycles 98% capacity at times I keep it at %80 max and I also try not to keep it under 20 and above 80 so….

Great video is always . I was wondering your personal opinion is there such a thing as overcharging or is it actually less beneficial to leave it plug-in all the time such as if you have a mobile charger that you carry with you
Just bought my iPhone 15pm last week and wish to use it until iPhone 20. hope the battery health will allow this to happen
Easily. Even more easy if you change the battery in like 3 years.
You mean iPhone XX
@@heruikioere9176 Haha, yes
13 Pro Max used since first day. Still at 100% Battery Health as non - heavy user, Best iPhone ever made.
At 1,5 years usage the battery was still on 100% on the 13 PM..
Been 3 years for mine. It’s on 88%
I just checked mine and it’s dropped to 83%.
What brand and wattage of charger you are using to charge your iPhone and if you are charging it wirelessly vs wired?
My 13 pro I got brand new from T-Mobile January 2023 is at 86% and I never wirelessly charged and actually trickle charged it with a 5 watt charger to avoid any heat.
15 Pro Max, the phone manufacture in October 2023. I got the phone in November enable 80% charge limit right away. It’s a ZP variant with one physical sim slot. Currently I’m at 90 cycles 100% batteries health. But according to analytics my batteries is at 97.13% health
Got 196 cycles and 100% battery health 🤷🏼♀️ and about the iphone 14 pro max battery draining fast you are right ! Used 1 year to have 87% which with privious model 13 pro max i had 99% after a year of use ..
I’ve noticed with the iPhones I’ve had that the total battery capacity varies greatly. Anywhere from 100%-105% when brand new. My 15 PM was right at 100% when new and at 45 cycles I’m at 98% per coconut battery. But my 15 Pro was at 103% when new. My 13 mini was at 102% when new. The people who are getting really high cycle counts before dropping battery health is due to the extra battery that’s above what apple says is max capacity. Great video Aaron!
105% How?
yes, my iPhone 13 Pro Max had 105% capacity and remains at 100% even after 2 1/2 years. It has only 180 full cycles, but that still means that I’m not below the hundred percent yet
If you have coconut battery on a MacBook, it will show you the full charge capacity and the design capacity. For example my 15 pro has a full charge capacity of 3340 mAh and a design capacity of 3274 mAh. Which comes to 102%. On the actual phone apple will only allow it to show 100%.

14 pro max here. 100% batt health for the first 9 months. Then after almost 6 months, it’s now at 94%. It’s dropping quickly, a bit. Well, I think I should not worry too much instead of stressing due to batt health decrease. Just enjoy (as long as it’s 90%+).
I have my iPhone 15 Pro Max set to 80% limit. Had it since September and I’m at 98% health.

Why only use your iPhones battery 80 percent of its potential????? That’s just straight up stupid, I’m at 200 cycles with 99 percent battery health and charge to 100 every single day. By the time the battery degrades, you should be able to get a new phone.
I had 80% limit too, and was at 100% until about 220 cycles. Now at 98% with 239 cycles
Wallpaper is really nice.
My 15 Pro is over 6 months old, still at 100%. I have my setting chosen to only charge to 80% (I've had this with laptops in the past, and it is a real benefit so long as you can safely get by with only 80% of your battery between charges).
14 Pro Max. I've had it for 15 months and Battery Health still shows 100. I charge via lightening, use a case and screen protector. I don't game on it and rarely shoot video, and I shut it off when I sleep. Coconut Battery shows the same.

@@dyldog 😆 what makes you say or think that?
Hi Aaron, do you think the 16 Pro Max will be as good as the 13 Pro Max was? Looking to upgrade from my 14 Pro poor battery with 88% and buggy experience. I see the 15’s has the battery health drain issue too like the 14’s, so is it a reason to wait for the 16’s?
Hope so, but that seems more dependent of the software rather than hardware.
@@zollotech Thanks, Aaron! Actually, that seems possible since iOS 18 seems to be the main thing this year, so hopefully Apple will listen and make it stable after iOS 15 was the last stable version overall.

ive had my 15 for 4 months with a charge cycle of 115 and I'm still at 100%. I make an effort to take good care of the battery though (not leaving it charged overnight, never charging it completely to 100% or letting it get too low, etc.)

@@SuiGenerisAbbieLoved the use of contraption here
watch it go down to 87 the next 6 months😂
Same. The 80% limit charging is the way to go if you want the battery to last longer. I don’t trust the anecdotal claim that every setting has the same result. There’s a reason EVs recommend charging to 80% regularly.
I’m at 98% now and I have had the phone since November. Usually I get a couple more months out of the phone at this point before it drops but oh well. The battery is still overall good to great. I’m pretty sure that some of the overheating stuff while wirelessly charging has definitely contributed to this.
It’s probably the MagSafe charging that could be draining the battery life as well
@@Eshabee yeah that is what I am thinking. It only happens with MagSafe. It heats up for a while and then it will slow down. When I plug in a usb c plug it doesn’t heat up.
It’s fine for me
Still using my 13pro since bought new and currently at 79% so it’s gone pretty down but at the same time I do use it a lot and charge it more frequently.
Anyone else with a 15 Pro/Pro Max noticed that while charging their phone it’ll start sporadically flickering on and off charge by itself? It’ll vibrate and play the charging sound repeatedly like it’s disconnecting from charge then reconnecting again. This happens regardless of what cable is used whether it be the cable that came in the box, a 2m Apple cable or even an Anker cable, all of which have been used with either an Apple 20w or 30w power brick. I’ve also made sure that the charge port is clear of any debris that could interfere with the charging process in any way. This has been an ongoing issue for me since late last year and according to a few Reddit and Apple Community forums filled with people having the same problems, I’m not the only one. My best guess is that myself and some others received devices with a faulty charge port. A real shame considering how much these phones cost.
Mine too.

My battery is at 98% after 34 charge cycles on my iPhone 15 Pro Max.
issue with your charger, or very warm environment, or defective battery. Possibly a combination of these 3 elements. if the environment is warm, charge without case. if the charger is aftermarket (I had this issue) then that really hurts the battery too (I lost 6-8% battery health because of that in a very short time period, it stayed the same after I got a proper brick for half an year now)
if its the third one then maybe wait a little, if it keeps on dropping fast then visit Apple

that is the optimum use case and will easily see you get 1000 cycles before you reach 80% capacity. if you keep your phone for a long time that is the ideal charging zone.

I have similar experience with my iPhone 13 mini from March 2023. Used it 1 year with 100% battery health before it dropped to 99% (March 2024).

When I was a kid in the 70s I thought how cool it would be to have a car phone. Now we have this absolutely amazing device and technology. These small hiccups in progress relating to the iPhone are just too small for me to fret over as I know they will work out the bugs. May sound corny but most times I use my iPhone I just stop and say Damn, what a remarkable gadget. Also grew up on the 286 too so you can imagine the leaps and bounds over that but of kit..
iPhone 15 Pro Max day 1 launch user. Running iOS 17.4.1. My battery is at 92% with 200 cycles. Should I be concerned? I do have Apple Care+ extended warranty.
my regular 13 is currently at 97% after 15 months of use. a miracle since its my main phone
Did you charged it everyday? At 100% or limit to 80%
I have been using my iPhone SE 2 now for about 4 Years and I have done 433rd Charge and I dropped to 82% on my battery health on that device. I say it’s pretty good. It’s running iOS 17.4.1 on it currently
15 Pro Max user here - bought it 14th November - it’s still on 100% and 120 cycles. Though… I’m on the 80% charging optimization and I dont use the 5G - only LTE! After used the 5G for few months on my iphone 12 the battery dropped with ~10% in 6 months! So that’s why I don’t use it.
My launch day iPhone 15 Pro Max with 121 cycles just hit 98% battery health. This is surprising because my launch day iPhone 14 Pro Max always remained at 100%.
14 Pro Max (17.4.1) here and I’m at 86%. It does seem to dropping faster than in the past.
I still got 7 plus, is on 73%, and it drop power very quick, when using it. I always have a powerbank with me !
I really don’t worry about the battery I never look at it but this iOS 17.4.1 daily use is terrible I always was at the end of the day 30-35% battery since update I don’t get through the without charging on my 15 Pro Max
Hey Aaron, just checked my 15 Pro Max. It's still showing 100% at 43 cycles. Will have to let you know closer to December if I make it a full year before it starts decreasing. My 12 Pro Max went over 2 years and a few months before it started dropping. Before that, I had the 7 Plus, it lasted at least 1 year before starting to drop. Before that with the 6, 5, and 4, I don't remember, as I didn't take note of the battery much back then, unless something strange happened.
When will the show this battery feature for older iPhones hopefully iOS 18
My iphone 13 was showing 99% battery health till last night, with 307 cycle count. This morning I woke up and got to see it went down to 93%. 6% of the battery health got down in just one night😑
I have a question. 14 pro max bought from new. 265 cycles. 87 percent in battery health in settings. PowerUTL shortcut 94 percent. Which makes way more sense. Is it? Thoughts?
15PM 100% at 127 cycles, always used it with the 80% charge limit and never wireless charging.
15 Pro Max. Only charge with rapid charger and drain to 5 percent daily before recharging at night. 176 cycles 100 percent still.
I have a 12 Pro Max that I have had since May 2021 so just coming up on 3 years now and I am at 78%. On an average day I probably only need to charge it once or twice so not too bad but I do always make sure I have a charger with me.
My 14promax is still at a 100% battery capacity to date, using it for a year now. 😊
I’m at 100% at 229 cycles with the iPhone 15 pro, I just charge between 30% and stop at or a little before 80%. I also don’t use a case. I did the presale for it so I’ve had it since day 1.
I’m using iPhone 14 Pro in a case with a tempered glass protector, from new, now on 88% with basically wired charging overnight and short 20/30 mins bursts of wireless in the car. Not bad imo. I’m not careful with charging and at this rate, it’s going to last well over 2 years before hitting 80%. On my iPhone 12 Pro, after two years I was at 94%; I only ever charged it to 80%, usually on a 5W cable. It’s just hassle though.
13 pro, purchased 10/31/21 and charged to full every night. Sitting at 86%
I have a iPhone 15 and have a screen protector should I take it off to save battery life?
I just got a 15 plus going from a Xs Max so hopefully mine will last a while
Thanks for sharing. My 13PM has 89 percent but I have no info about charge sycles. I do charge it once a day to 95 percent, its usually 20 percent.
15 ProMax bought within a couple weeks of launch at 98 cycles, and still at 100%. I only charge it to 80% and always use wired charging, no wireless.
The 13PM here from launch day. Definitely excellent battery health(85%) and longevity. I only use 12W IPad charger and don’t wirelessly charge because the extreme heat generated is bad for battery
Same here on my 13 pro :) 85% health from launch day . :)
Charging makes no difference 😂 there’s more factors that come into play
@@bigmaxcc charging does make a difference. Wireless charging naturally generates more heat to the devices battery. When you use a lower wattage wired charger it wouldn’t generate as much heat. Heat is a big degrader of batteries
@@murroybeverley I didn’t mention wireless charging I called out any form of charging you won’t see much difference. You know conducts more heat using the camera and gaming not to forget software updates any update battery gets worse like I said more factors come into play 🙌✅
using 15 Pro from late November 2023, still at 100% with 194 cycle count. 80% limit works wonders
I had the 14 Pro Max from launch day and after 13 months it was 82%. The real problem for me is that the first 3 months I was getting super SOT usage, 8-11 hours, after just 4-6 hours SOT and that was more bothering! No betas
14 pro max. Super user like KZhead and movies. 1 year will be on 7/1 and it’s at 93% charging on a MagSafe MFI non fast charger, occasionally direct cable or Apple MagSafe charger at the beginning of a long day for that extension. Def lower than what my previous 12 pro was at comparable time. Also have all the settings set for only the background refresh I really need, once ever 7-14 days hard restart. Auto brightness off. GPS location on sparingly and never precise. So on and so forth.
My 15 Pro Max is at 239 cycles since launch, 94% battery health… but tbh I havnt noticed a 6% difference in battery life throughout the day. In fact with updates I think my battery life has lasted longer
How do you show the cycle count normally in the settings?
My iPhone 14 Pro Max is still at 100% at 163 cycles after more than a year of use (keeping it between 40%-80% charged). Even coconut battery says the same thing. So I think it's pretty accurate.
got the 15 back in September but due to “circumstances” had to get a replacement back in November and my battery still perfect saw someone with the 15 pro max and their battery health is at 90%…
My 15PM is at 98% at 122 cycles. I’ve been doing the charge to 80% unless traveling and I let the phone manage so I can get to 100%. My phone is plugged in a lot with Apple car play. I do a lot of driving for work
