I’m one cycle above you… weird how we are 3% of battery health apart.

I‘m 300 cycles above you and only 1% of battery health apart.

in between battery health but you got HIGH cycle count. I seen someone in the iOS 18 battery life thread went all the way to 800+ and hit the 80% capacity

Bought at release, together with the bad battery life of the 15 Pro, I wouldn’t say the cycle count is high.
Got it. That’s why it decreased slower than I thought it would be at that point.
Any heat issues or battery preservation settings that you use on your iPhone?

Beta 7, right?
My 15 pro does get a % drop of 3% if it fetches emails, like a ton.
Had the settings to fetch HOURLY only as an Apple Genius has advised me to to slow the battery health degradation at most, so the drain is intermittent.

This interface is so pathetic, they have now made it impossible to determine screen-on time since last full charge. It’s the one thing that matters and they removed the imperfect - but usable - method we have on iOS 12 through 18.
I don’t know who made the decision, but this is not only change for change’s sake, the person or team that implemented it has no clue.
What is this showing? Battery percentage used per day, percentage remaining throughout the day, and screen-on time since 00:00.
Before we had the hourly screen-on time breakdown which allowed us to add individual bars to obtain the most important aspect of information: screen-on time since last full charge.
Apple removing this after adding usage time on iOS 5 is pure regression.

The 16 pro’s battery life was greatly improved in beta 5 and beta 6 (2nd revision), but again worsened in the current beta 7. Craig, what the heck?
I installed the beta last night on my 15 Pro Max. I think that battery life is not as good as it is on 18.x. That being said, I also installed a beta and am not surprised.

Battery life is really good - you should wait a few days until you can judge

Installed beta 8 on my 16e yesterday evening. Took it of charger after midnight and slept 7 more hours - was still 100%, so pretty darn good i would say !
