lucky, just checked and mine is at 87%, which feels overstated based on how quickly it drains. my favorite is leaving it off the charger over night at 60%+ and waking up to it being just over 20%.
Got a tip for us?

To use the 5W charger with 15PM get a USB-A to USB-C cable.
It will take 5 hrs to charge if the 13PM is of any indicator. Good way to charge when sleeping.
I'd look for a 27-35W car fast charger if you want to do 0-50% within 30 mins.
Is charging with a 5W better (for the non-Pro and non-ProMax) for long-term battery health? Or at least with the minimum watt possible?
Ty!
Lightning cable through an Apple charger that came with an iPad. It's 12 watts.
I always charged my 13PM overnight with 5W. Activated it in March 2022. My battery health is at 90% right now in iOS 17 RC. Was on 94% before starting the iOS 17 Betas though.
I charge with a 12W charger overnight for my all my iPhones for the last decade. My nearly 2yo 13 Pro Max has 97% battery health and I am replacing by October with a 15 Pro Max.
I use a 30W car charger when I'm in a rush or else I just use the 5W port of my car for wired CarPlay.
If they were intentionally doing that, they would already be sued. They already got sued for tweaking the CPU speed, so that it wouldn't crash when the CPU requested more voltage than the battery could deliver.
Also at 98% here on day one 14PM, I charge mine with a 5W or 10W charger, try not to let it get under 15% or so, and that’s about it. Battery life hasn’t been quite as good as my 13 PM but definitely not bad by any means. I attribute it to the always on display
Anyone having battery life issues: do you have background app refresh on? I’ve kept it off globally on every iPhone I’ve had, idk if that helps but it doesn’t cause me any inconveniences, I don’t even notice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ everything I expect to run in the background still does

People with fully discharged phones remind me of drivers with a gas can on the side of the road. It shouldn’t happen to a normal person.
The article says:
- iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422mAh
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4,323 mAh
I am a lost for words. Are you saying that "normal people" don't experience that their phones run out of battery????
Fully discharged, no. They usually understand the idea of preserving that last few percent for emergency calls or texts.
typo…what is odd is that when one does a phone compare on phonearena (great site by the way use it often) they have what is apparently the correct battery sizes
Well, they certainly bring more performance which has been indicated.. anywhere from 15-30% depending on the task. What we DON’T yet know is what level of overall efficiency they provide. they SHOULD provide some amount, 10-15% overall for low performance tasks, or idle tasks, but we just don’t know.
iOS 17 will use more energy than iOS 16, especially with those interactive widgets that will draw more power; it won't be a lot, but enough to be perceived by the user when the battery discharges faster. So they play safe and don't announce any battery life improvement.
