“Bigger” battery is the reason to buy Apple’s latest iPhone generation.
In a support document updated today, Apple says the batteries on the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max are designed to retain 80% of their original battery capacity after 1,000 full charge cycles. under ideal conditions. This is higher than the 500 charging cycles advertised for all older iPhone models.
Apple said it conducted testing on iPhone 15 models by charging and discharging the battery 1,000 times under specific conditions, but did not provide exact details about the process. Apple also added that it has continuously improved iPhone battery components and power management systems.

“The batteries of iPhone 14 and earlier models are designed to maintain 80% of their original capacity after 500 full charge cycles under ideal conditions. The batteries of iPhone 15 models are designed to maintain 80% of their capacity initially after 1000 full charge cycles under ideal conditions,” Apple’s documentation reads.
The battery on the iPhone 15 may take longer to reduce to 80% of its maximum capacity compared to previous iPhone models. However, Apple says it is “studying” the battery life of older iPhone models, so a comparison based on the latest testing parameters is unknown.
In support documents, Apple says the battery life of any iPhone model ultimately depends on how often it is used and charged.
To see your iPhone’s battery capacity, open the Settings app and tap Battery → Health & Charging. On iPhone 15 models updated to the latest iOS 17.4 beta, the menu is now simply called Battery Health and shows more information about the battery, such as how long the battery was in production and number of charging times.
