This has probably been the best iPhone battery I've ever had. I haven't noticed any decline. I am rarely in my office so I charge my phone a few times a day with the 80% limit, and I never use Wi-Fi. I also stream a lot of video when I'm in the gym doing cardio. I turned off the limit once I reached 82% health.
I haven't been blown away by the 17 Pro rumors yet so maybe I'll just get the battery replaced on this and keep it one more year.
Yeah best battery I've ever had on an iPhone as well. My wife and I both are planning on waiting till the 18... or the 27 or whatever it'll be called lol.
I saw the 17PM should really not bring much new stuff. Maybe 50MP Tele and maybe 8K Video. Alltough i think i better sell my 15 PM in September 2025 with 100% battery than 1 year later with maybe 85-90% and 3 years old. My warranty is also gone in september because 2 year plan not the montly which runs longer if customer wants so.
I've thought about getting the battery replacement then selling mine as well but I am leaning towards waiting 1 more year. I also like the titanium frame, which has zero wear on my phone. It still looks like the day I got it and the only case I use is the Apple clear silicon case.
My friend is in the same boat, he isn't happy about the Titanium change - he really like his 15 Pro Max - looks perfect.
I’m trading mine in and upgrading to the 17PM. My titanium frame has chips and I hate the blue color as soon as I hit 6 months in owning the phone. I’ve been ready for an upgrade.
Hey, I'm back with some information after a week. The SOT improved to 7.5 hours, so I think the battery replacement was worth the dime.I look forward to your report (when convenient to you). This will definitely impact whether or not my wife does the same with her phone.
Getting to 241 cycles at 94% isn’t good because the A16 kills battery life more quickly than any other A series Chips Luckily 15 plus’s battery is 1000 cycles.
My 16e as of now
126 cycle counts
Still on 100%
So happy that A18 is so energy and battery efficient 😁
Follow up: 380 cycles and im still at 80%. Im waiting to see how long it takes for 79% for the replacement. Before every 4-5 cycles the health would drop.
iPhone 15 Pro Max, 468 cycles, 96% health.
The phone sits at 50% most of the week thanks to some smart plug automations. Definitely seems to be helping.

iPhone 15 Pro Max
93%
619 cycles
Charge at night via Qi2 magsafe charger and during the day via fast charging cable
First use Sept 2023
How do you see your cycles on an iPhone? I know about the Macs, but the phone...?
EDIT: I have the latest updates, but an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Could it be you have this because it's a newer phone?
Yeah a lot of this stuff was added in the last few generation iPhones. For example, the 15 Pro and forward can set charge level to 80% and shows a lot more information in battery health. I thought the 13 Pro Max could too, but I guess not.
Settings —> Battery —> Battery Health - shows everything there for me on my 15 Pro Max.
That’s pretty darn good!
My 15 PM is sitting at 89% with 362 cycles
