The iPhone 15 family, released last year, received mixed feedback from users. While the heating and durability problems experienced, especially in the Pros, have remained on the agenda for a long time, the company recently made a remarkable new statement about the series. The battery life of the iPhone 15 series has doubled.
Apple updated the battery life of the iPhone 15 series
Apple announced in a statement recently that it has retested the batteries of the iPhone 15 series. The results are quite surprising. Because smartphone batteries can meet much higher capacities than previously announced.
If we expand on this subject a little more; Previously, the brand’s online support documents stated that the iPhone 15 series models retained 80 percent of their battery capacity after 500 charging cycles. However, in recent tests, it was found that the devices could preserve 80 percent of their batteries after 1,000 charging cycles. This indicates a two-fold increase.
With this development, an update regarding the charging cycle was made in the online support documents of the iPhone 15 series. In addition, it is said that the brand is researching the battery cycles of older iPhone models in a similar way. However, at the time of writing this article, we still see the statement that ” the battery retains 80 percent of its capacity after 500 charging cycles ” for older models.
Of course, it is a matter of curiosity why the company is testing its smartphones again. What follows is the regulation that will come into force in June 2025 for smartphone and tablet manufacturers operating in the EU.
In this context, phone and tablet manufacturers will be given a grade from A to G on issues such as energy efficiency, battery life, protection against dust and water and resistance to accidental drops. At this point, it is said that Apple has started to re-test its devices because the battery life part of the scoring includes the requirement that smartphone batteries maintain 80 percent of their battery capacity after 800 charging cycles.
