What's your current battery health? 🔋🪫 (I show mine at 3:21)

[@MELL09494]

Let me check

[@jjtrejo4125]

Heating up while charging is a major issue….

[@MassimoTava]

What kind of charger do you use?

[@Max-xl9qv]

About 10 months ago I started putting a coolant bag on the phone while charging, to see what happens in the long run - not a single % of battery health dropped since then, 100% capacity daily use.

[@Jonathan.Gearhart]

Try factory resetting your phone. Did that do mine and it fixed literally everything. I’m doing that every year now at least

[@abhishekkr4004]

For me heating while scrolling through reels is a major issue. Mind it, while playing genshin it doesn't even get warm.

I do have an iPhone 14 Pro. And yeah, my battery health took a dive down to 80% lately. It’s also heating up when charging via wireless charger, and my phone just has a bumper, not a whole case covering the back. I even get notifications saying charging will only resume when my phone cools down.

[@johnnygoodface]

Wireless charging is damaging on the long run (I'm sure you agree), but using device like ESR Cryoboost helps keeping the temperature controlled down to a safer level. My health is still 100% on my iPhone 15 Pro Max after 6 months

[@paganguy77]

Thanks for all the info. When a key highlight/rumor for the next iPad is a calculator, you know that we have just about maxed out the leaps & bounds tech upgrades of these devices.

[@Sbinnala]

Got my 15 Pro Max a few days ago thanks to a one time exchange for my 14 PM from Apple, it just simply doesn't get hot. Other than some earpiece crackling at high volume, it's really good.

[@sanderhoogeland9161]

I have a FineWoven case. I am blind, so I don’t know what it looks like after the amount of times I’ve dropped it, but it at least feels like it has only a little bit of damage on it, a lot less than a silicon case would have. I also really like how it feels to the touch.

[@sanderhoogeland9161]

@@chumbleisverychill817 Thank you for asking. I have a Bluetooth keyboard and I can touch type, but in this case I used, and am using, my iPhones dictation feature.

I recently enabled optimised battery charging. My phone was learning my charging habits for a solid 7-8 days, plugging the phone in at 12 AM and taking it out at 8:30 AM. The featue finally activeted, however, it says the charging is scheduled to finish by 6:30 AM, 2 hours before I usually unplug it. Is there any way I can fix this issue?

[@Portal_3]

It always tries to finish a little early

Health 97%, 15 Plus, 200 cycles; Got it November, kept at 80%limit, have noticed it getting a little hotter lately.

[@UnsettlingDwarf]

If you always keep your phone on 80% there’s no point in worrying about your battery health. Because you’re sabotaging your total capacity everyday by loosing 20%. Just charge to 100% every time and enjoy 100%

[@OrangeCosmonaut]

@@UnsettlingDwarf People don't seem to understand this.

[@CedroCron]

@@UnsettlingDwarf Some of us don't need that extra 20% so we would much rather under charge and extend the battery life by 5-10x the charging cycles with 90% of the original capacity maintained because we use our phones a lot longer than the 2-3 year lifespan like most do. So what works for you doesn't work for others.

[@Y_Blackbeard_Y]

@@UnsettlingDwarfthats the stupidest thing ive read all week

[@techbyjules]

I've charged to 100% everyday on my 15 pro max with wireless/magsafe charging and I'm at 99% health with over 200+ cycles. I think the 80% battery recommendation on a phone at least is overkill for the ease of replacement if it ever does get that bad in the first place.

[@_davidfoster_]

89% after 2yrs 7months on my 13ProMax. Haven’t charged overnight for 8 months and rarely with a cable. Been using a wireless/magsafe case & charger most of that 8 months

Using my 15 Pro Max since I got it end Sep 2023, since then my Cycle count is 183, with 100% Battery health still. I mostly charge it with MagSafe and sometimes with wired charging. But I will say with the iOS 17.4.1 I’ve been getting overheating issues randomly and possibly the latest iOS betas are causing a strain on battery health for some people.
