[@houserhouse]

I just got the 15 Pro Max after years of using an XR. The jump is colossal. Battery is the LEAST impressive jump, just because my XR was able to survive the full day so it was never a problem (Though I can tell the 15PM is probably able to do two full days, considering I've never had this thing go below 70%; I'm too disciplined with charging). The 120htz is INSANE. It's probably the best part of the upgrade. Everything is so smooth; I hadn't realized how slow 60htz was until I was really sitting there, feeling the flow. USB-C was a long time coming, and I had multiple laptop chargers that were ready to help with the switch from lightning cables. It's fast, but like I said, batteries have been good enough for half a decade now. The screen size increase is honestly not as hype as I was hoping, but it's still better. I don't know what the general consensus is, but I'd be fine with a 7"+ screen; this thing doesn't stretch any of my pockets, but that might be different for other people. I'm hyped that it will be able to handle the Apple Intelligence stuff; that could end up being a requirement for the years ahead if it ends up being good

@@MarceloAvalos you might have a defective battery but the most important factors are charging rate, and temperature with the upmost being always keeping the battery between 20% & 80%.

Thanks a bunch for this video. My 15 Pro Max (received mid-October 2023) still has 100 % battery health. But only because I‘m a bit crazy regarding the charging. Meaning, I only use the 15 Pro Max between 80-40% battery and never charge it overnight, never charge it wirelessly or with MagSafe and last but not least, I even only use an old Apple 5 watt charging brick, for which I bought an extra USB C to USB A cable.

3yr 2mo old iPhone 12 mini is at 78% of maximum capacity. This is the longest I've used a phone in over 10 years without upgrading, with previous phones being from the Google Pixel line. I will finally upgrade to the iPhone 16 next month. My wife already wants the 12 mini even though the battery isn't the best. If it causes her any issues I will spend the $89 to upgrade the battery at an Apple store. Screen has nearly zero wear, and I've never used a screen protector. Keys never go in the same pocket, but I've been rough with this thing and it's held up great.

@@ÅlidhemsC I just wing it. I'm not very strict with this rule, if I'm going for a longer travel for example, I charge to 100%, but for the normal everyday I charge a bit at night before bed, and a bit at the end of the work day. That usually works out. It should be said that I'm not a very heavy user. Most work calls are Teams/Zoom and I don't play 3d games or do other super battery draining things on my phone.

Sounds like we are in the same boat, Dan. iPhone 15 Pro Max here and our maximum battery capacity is exactly the same, 89%. My cycle count is 355. I am a heavy user and I do not charge overnight. I wake up in the morning and battery life is anywhere from 10%-30%. I charge when I get to work around 8am to the 90% range. Then I have to charge again at some point in the early evening. I also use wireless CarPlay. I hadn’t considered the CarPlay impact on the battery so I’m glad you brought that out. Looking forward to the 16 Pro Max. In my opinion, there has definitely been better battery life on previous versions of the Pro Max in comparison to this one. Also, I use the wired Apple 20W fast charger 95 percent of the time. Very rarely wirelessly charge.

How ? 206 cycles and 99% capacity. Just avoid going below 20% charge and at all cost avoid going to 0% discharge. To a lesser extend, avoid going above 80% unlesss you are traveling. So use the 80% charge limit feature, its great! Only use that 100% charge when traveling or for special days, the battery will survive longer!

[@fasn279]

96% all good... from last year's event date, I too am running the Beta. By 4PM, 66%.196 cycles I use a case, wish I trusted myself not to use a case, maybe careless on the 16 Pro, the screen was scratched by pocket keys. I LOVE the action button for my camera, so very cool, just that no shortcuts and launching my camera is perfect, I shoot a lot. As a photographer, if the zoom is better upgrade. I do not like the pro max size so my upgrade to get a bit smaller phone in my pocket.

I've had my iPhone 13 pro max for 2.5 years and my battery health is still at 85%; I use my phone for quite honestly everything except for car play. I also use an off brand apple charger so I was kind of shocked when I saw that your battery capacity was already down to 89% after only a year of use!

[@Chris-Lynch]

Similar, 264 cycles still 100% - because I set it to 80% max charge and avoid wireless & fast charging if possible. I have a PhD in electrochemistry so I could explain in detail why - but tldr - do what I do and never let it go below 20%. Also have it set to battery saving mode unless you need the power! Can be done easily with shortcuts such as “stop charging” turn on “power saving” etc! And once it’s set to 80% Max you can confidently plug it on whenever you can without worrying.

[@fasn279]

Why pay so much for a powerful phone to handicap it lol, go for the lowest version, heck go a few years older and save the money

[@Chris-Lynch]

⁠@@fasn279if you understood what I was saying, it’s not a handicap, it’s a feature of the battery that would apply to any phone. Finally having the option to keep it within the middle 60% (as someone who knows quite a bit about batteries, and specifically how sensitive LiCo batteries are - the ones in all phones because they have the highest energy density) enables me to do what you have just suggested and make it last for years without any deterioration in the battery! Or upgrade and sell it with a battery at 100% (which can make a huge difference to what you can sell it for and make an upgrade cost less than 10%). Also, by far the most important ability with this feature is being able to leave it plugged in and not damage the battery! And if you tend to use your phone and iPad connected to Ethernet whilst at your desk - this becomes an extremely important factor.

[@awsalhaj736]

Im using the cable that came with the phone and it gets warm while charging. So what can i do in regards to fast charging

[@Chris-Lynch]

@@awsalhaj736 First of all use a different cable. And give the socket a really good cleaning with a small amount of isopropanol. You can buy small bottles of it pure from a pharmacy. After that, if it’s still getting hot there’s a problem inside the phone at the point where the socket is atatched to the phone motherboard. If you are out of your apple plus or never had it, take it to a well rated independent repair shop and ask them to fix it and put a new battery in at the same time. Technically you could have an argument with Apple about it because British law states that regardless of warranty or agreements, an expensive product like that should be expected to work normally for 6 years! If you mention you know that then they might fix it for free! Also, when fully charging especially with a case on you should use a cooler. There are plenty available to buy that stick on the back using MagSafe. There are a few that integrate charging with cooling as a pass through and I use that if I ever use wireless charging. Otherwise I try to keep it plugged in as much as reasonably possible using a MagSafe battery so the phone battery sits at around 80% all the time.

Wired, using a charger that can monitor temperature (like Anker 20w or 30w chargers) definitely helps with battery health/capacity.

So it was 3 years old and still had 90% of its battery capacity. I do not recommend wireless charging because of battery degradation.

How do you charge your iPhone? How heavy of a user are you?

[@alexisgalea5837]

@@go4it129 It's dropped to 96% now with 353 cycles. Limit is set to 80% unless I'm going somewhere where I can't charge or need heavy usage like photos or videos. 90% it's charged by a wireless charger which is a relatively very slow charger

[@m.b.9.8.]

After you charge it, the battery in the first 30 min go slow down and after this time go faster down than before? Mine do this

[@jamieh4x4]

I've had iphone 15 pro max since Sept 2023 and its still 100% battery health.

[@vazzyarts]

Always set battery to 80 percent limit to extend battery life

[@teo.sugubatul]

im going to buy the iphone 15 pro max in a few days for my birthday, because i want to upgrade from my 13. 89% battery life is crazy to me considering i have the same amount on the 13 in 3 years

[@danieln8316]

I have 207 cycles and 100% capacity. What could the key differences be? Heat? Letting battery fall under 20%. Always charging too 100%? I usually charge to 85-95% and often charge so the battery never falls under 40-50%.

[@MGN68]

13PM 2 months after release. Battery capacity 86% and battery life is excellent. Around 9-11 hours. Wireless charge every night.

[@sameersheriff7078]

Pls dont fall for fomo and upgrade anytime soon 13PM is an amazing phone !!!!

[@MoviesWithMia]

I can’t see how many cycles on my phone, but I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and my battery health is at 84%… I got it like 4 or 5 months after launch… it holds a good charge, but definitely not anywhere near what it used to

[@sonic09ist]

My iPhone 15 pro max has 221 cycles, and is still at 100% maximum capacity. I never use wireless chargers, especially built in car ones. I only use MagSafe. My phone chargers all night when I am not using it. My charging preferences has always been set to optimized. I don’t plan to upgrade this year unless the 16 can really “wow” me.

[@GabrielIgnacio]

Mine has gone down to around 94% but still gets me through the day perfectly fine. Still hasn’t been as good as my 13 Pro Max after launch though, that phone still has bonkers battery life despite being at 82% battery health and slightly edges out my 15PM which is much newer, at least for my use case. I see no point in upgrading unless there’s a drastic change like improved internal cooling. The processor in the 15 Pro series is fast but it also gets warm real quick.

[@sonic09ist]

@@GabrielIgnacio I also noticed the heat from the processor. That is honestly the complaint I have about this phone.

[@cna1234]

Wow if you really like having the camera on the action button; you are going to LOVE the new iPhone 16's dedicated camera feature!

[@SanderM3P]

My 15 pro max is still at 100% after 138 cycles, almost a year and I really plan my charging and use the max 80% feature.

[@sahilr2402]

98% with 208 cycles. A single charge in a day is all it needs for me to take it through the day.

[@jenshito]

I am using the 11 pro since launch day and my battery health is at 96% thinking of switching to the 15 pro max

[@Muehlema1]

I got my iPhone 15 Pro Max begining October and i have 148 cycles and 100% max capacity

[@RithikaV]

Wireless charging actually generates more heat so it degrades the battery more on the long run. Would not recommend using it over night or in the car when its already hot.

[@Ihatesrael]

My 15 pro max is down to 88% with 379 cycle count, had did since Sept '23 I have been using it as a powerbank here and there, which explains my higher cycle count. But all in all, it's been holding up. Might consider a battery replacement once I'm closer to 80%

[@BigBlackClock_12]

thank you for investing such these phones to review it for your viewers❤

[@GabrielIgnacio]

Mine is at 94% at 225 cycles. My use case was previously lighter until May which is when I installed my CarPlay compatible headunit in my car and have dailied wireless CarPlay ever since. Also recently started playing Zenless Zone Zero though my battery already had a decrease in battery health about some time ago in early 2024. Honestly, I’m not really concerned about battery life unless my health percentage suddenly dips down a huge bit and even then, a 1% drop every month is somewhat expected for typical battery degradation and Apple’s software might not even be calculating it properly as it’s merely an estimate.

[@StefanDijkstra]

My battery is at 99% capacity, with 75 cycles. It was produced in July '23 and first used in October '23. I only charge it wired, at first mostly at night with an old 5W charger, recently more often with my 30W charger of my Macbook Air.

[@spacewalktraveller1]

I've got an iphone 12, got it in 2020 and my battery health is 86%. I'm a very light user.

[@jlpete87]

Launch day 15 Pro here. 271 cycles at 95% and I charge overnight with Magsafe 99% of the time

[@j21226_]

I have a 14 pro max now, im considering getting the 15 pro max. it doesn't seem like a major update to me. My cell phone carrier has a program where you can upgrade up to 3 times a year so it's not like I'd be stuck with the 15. Plus I kinda want a blue phone and it doesn't seem like that's gonna be a color choice for the pros this year

[@Number_006]

I have the Titanium 15 Pro (not max) and my battery health is at 99%. And I have used it heavily every day since Oct 2, 2023 (235 cycles). FWIW, I do keep my battery from charging over 80% ( I charge as I go throughout the day, in my car, etc.)

[@TechTracker-x4d]

I was at 100% after 249 cycles. Charge to 80% using 20W wired charging. Never used wireless. Bought Sep 23. Now at 98% after 253 cycles

I advise getting full coverage insurance with your service provider. I accidentally cracked my iPhone 15, and I saved 450$ repair cost. 90%\351 cycles

Its a Great Phone! I recommend it before the 16

[@ajjohnson3416]

Got mine December it’s 95%

[@victorolivares8732]

CarPlay doesn't drain battery life AT ALL. The heat caused by your exclusive wireless charging is what's got you with that 40% charge at 2pm after charging it all night, you have literally burnt it a little bit by now.

[@eric-rounds]

Battery Life for my 14 Pro Max is now at 88%. I see no strong reason to "upgrade" and plan to keep this for another year. I used to upgrade every year. So far, my 14 Pro Max has been my favorite. USB-C and extra side buttons are just not enough to make me want to upgrade.

[@GabrielIgnacio]

As much as I love USB-C, the lightning port had a more satisfying ‘click’ or ‘thunk’ to it when you plugged a cable in and felt just a bit more secure. I will say though that having more external device support as well as faster USB speeds thanks to the port change and standard change is really nice for a change, specially since iPads have had USB-C for the longest time now.
