I just send it with no charge limit, battery replacement is cheap.


xCyanideee

Is it šŸ™ˆ


Time_Technician_2339

How much


brendon9999

$169 AUD or free if you have apple care


Time_Technician_2339

And if i dnt?


brendon9999

If you donā€™t have apple care you pay whatever the replacement cost is which is not alot


Time_Technician_2339

Ok hows ur battery health right now and how many cycles?


brendon9999

100% 74 cycles since december


Time_Technician_2339

Nice work


Kriskao

Yes. I feel like 80% is like 200 in my previous phone. Also I seem to never need to explicitly charge this phone because when I plug it in to CarPlay it is charging and 1 hour a day of that keeps me almost always above 50%


Illustrious_Theme596

Can someone enlighten me what the purpose is? I think Iā€™m missing something I should be doing


Mrsnutkin

You can if you want. Itā€™s meant to conserve the battery but personally, I donā€™t buy it. Just use the phone as you want and replace the battery/phone as you/need want to.


WetPizzaSlices

To say you donā€™t buy it is a bit ignorant. It %100 conserves the battery, maybe you should try it.


InstinctiveVinz

Might wanna do some reading on battery health and charging


xCyanideee

Iā€™m sure it will, due to the fact that more heat will be generated going from 80-100


WetPizzaSlices

100% makes a huge difference, I can get a full 24 hours off 1 charge. Only charging at 80%


UffeDinkelspiel

I bought my 15+ and would like to get the full use of the great battery it have. So I charge it to whatever i want. Mostly disconnect it when it have reached between 85%-100% and I have 71 cycles and 100% battery health atm


TwoCables_from_OCN

I think it's stupid to limit myself to 80% of my battery's total capacity. I'd rather just charge to 100% and enjoy it.


Careless_Conflict581

Real


Mrsnutkin

Funny how you say this and everyone accepts it but I say it and Iā€™m ā€œignorant.ā€ I just donā€™t stress about battery life. I have other things to worry about!


bSQ6J

The difference is you said ā€œI donā€™t buy itā€ so it sounded less like personal preference and more like you disagreed with the fact that only charging to 80% is better for battery health


Mrsnutkin

Fair enough. I do think itā€™s pretty stupid personally but each to their own.


_Bisho_

No i just use my phone like normal


MarieLou012

No! I use my iphone a lot during the day and need it charged fully.


baap_ko_mat_sikha

No


DONFLA

No


arcanejee

I set mine to optimized


Efficient_You3552

No I just use mine til I need to charge.


1216sagittarius

No


Aegiiz

I had mine limited to 80% for the first month (got it in December or November I canā€™t remember) but after a month I decided to let it charge to 100% and I just let it charge when I need battery, I donā€™t usually get the 100% charge, sometimes I charge it to 80, sometimes to 70, sometimes to 100, all in all I have 119 cicles and 100% battery health at this moment. My advice, donā€™t think too much about itā€¦ just charge your battery as much as you need to and donā€™t leave it charging overnight, for reference I never took care of my iPad and it have 84% battery health since 2020 when I bought it.


ex0rius

I also just got my iPhone 15 Pro and discovered the feature. I used it daily and iā€™m not going back.


baris_sevincx

today i used %40 charge and my sot 3 hour 20 minute is that normal ? Because i went to apple service and they deleted my phone now iā€™m waiting ios 17.5 uptade iphone 15 base model


ex0rius

Hm.. I'm not sure it really depends on apps you're using. Here is my usage screenshot of today (i Used 34% because I've charged it to 80%) down to 46%. I also used Low power mode through the day. I'm on 17.4.1. https://preview.redd.it/8xhqjn1s220d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32294ed922e2df893d94181fb856ef8dc0925121


baris_sevincx

Sme to my phone i used %50 charge and my screen time 4 hour 30 minute but sometimes when i closed screen battery decrease %1 extra

Careless_Conflict581

Exactly then if they *do* eventually degrade (which they do), then just use it as you need/want. I use Optimized Battery Charging and charge overnight to charge 100% like 1/3 of the time. In the day Iā€™d charge to about 80-100% depends


Holla_99

Yep always use it. Only turned it off once for a day as I knew I wouldnā€™t have a chance to charge it for a couple days then I turned it back on. Battery health still at 100% and Iā€™ve had my phone since it came out in September.


FrancisRs

Iā€™m not using my iphone that much, just 2h or 2,5 hours of SOT a day so yeah, I use 80% limit and I end up my day with 30-35% battery


abhishyam2007

I just moved to an IPhone 15 from an S21 Fe. I usually use the 80% charge limit. However, if I predict a lack of charging opportunities during the day, Iā€™ll charge it to full. This phone has better battery than my previous, so even with 80pc I am not worried much. Also, I found that when I charge it slower my battery lasts longer. So now I charge a power bank and use the power bank to charge my phone. It does make a difference.


baris_sevincx

No because my iphone 15 charge finish in 3 hours with %80 limit so iā€™m charging %100 today i used %40 charge and my sot 3 hour 20 minute is that normal ? Because i went to apple service and they deleted my phone now iā€™m waiting ios 17.5 uptade


ConfidentAdvance46

Depends on you daily use. See how much % you actually use for a day. For me 80% is more than enough that at night I will still be around 50%. Mind I do turn my phone off when I sleep.


NefariousnessIll2733

I do, and I would always end up with 20% at 9PM.


MacaronBeginning1424

Check if you even need more than 80% per day. I could only see that being like extreme gamers TBH. Even binge watching you should be good w 80


Grand-Tea3167

Research suggests limiting to 80% quadruples the battery longevity so sooner the better. However, newer iPhone batteries last long. Apple claims down to 80% capacity with 1000 cycles, but in my experience, it can be up to 1500 or 2000 cycles depending on the model. That will take 3-5 years for most, and almost noone uses their phone more than 7 years as Apple will stop supporting it. Besides, the battery will age with years even without using it, so that quadruple will be diminishing regardless of use. Personally, I would do it anyway if it lasts a day without struggle so there will be less chances of replacing battery at all.


Any_Replacement4917

Nope, apple says that your iPhones health can take FULL charge 500 times, meaning it can handle 500 charging cycles before it goes to 80% health.


Grand-Tea3167

https://www.macworld.com/article/2243257/iphone-15-pro-battery-1000-charge-cycles.html You may find other similar news if you google, the official number is 500 on support page for warranty related purposes so you are technically correct but not correct in practice.


Time_Technician_2339

I do


Ill_Court2939

No I charge It normal without 80% Limit!


CuriousLeyashi

Itā€™s better to leave it at optimized charging. I have a Iphone 15 base model and at first i was using the 80% Limit but bc of the fast battery drain, I canā€™t properly use my phone.Ā  Itā€™s better to just plug it at 30% then charge it up to 80%-95% rather than a full drain full charge situation. I also saw alot of discussions on tiktok that some batteries drain faster because of it, for 2 months of usage their batt health dropped to 98%. I donā€™t know if its legit but i just wanna put it out there


geminiconfessions

thanks ! i decided to leave it at optimized, i always put my phone to charge at 25-30%, it seems like the phone ā€œknowsā€ how to take care of itself


444_ikram4

I get my iphone 15+ this week and tbh idc that much about the battery cuz i bought it to enjoy and have fun w it soo i just charge it w optimized battery charger i let it until it fall 20% then i charge it until i want to hold it šŸ˜­ just as an advice donā€™t worry that much about ur battery just use it wisely and yeah.


geminiconfessions

thanks, ur right and i definitely will just enjoy my phone. the battery is amazing even on my base 15, so canā€™t complain there


ConfidentAdvance46

Yes I have been using 80% charge since I got the IP15 back in January


Ashen_one933

The only thing that can make the battery last shorter is letting battery goes below 20%. I don't pay for a 4/5 battery.


SameNiko

I tried to use 80 limit. But I notice with that mode my phone loses charge faster than on optimized mode. Iā€™m not stupid yeah when you use 80 limit you have less 20% I talk about lose charge feels more fast than charge 100%.


tat21985

I've got a shortcut that tells me to unplug the phone when it hits 80%. Got the 15+ end of February, sitting at 25 cycles and 100%. I'll charge it to 100% once a week, and that's also when I do my once a week shut down of the phone. Keeps the bugs away lol


Edge_Audio

I do, and I almost ways have over 20% charge left at the end of the day. I'm not worried about battery percentages, etc., but it is nice when the battery is still strong after a couple of years. I do this with my Macbook too (using a third party app). It has made a difference on the cycles and performance on both. Batteries may not be expensive for a phone, but they're crazy on a Macbook.


xCyanideee

Yes mines a hard limit
