About to renew my contract my 2 year iphone 15 Pro is at 87% after 370~ cycles, mostly via wireless charging.
I turned off almost all settings/options, as i use it as a dumbphone.

Only have duolingo, my bank apps, MS teams for work and authenticator apps installed.
Even with my limited use/screentime as i dont browse the internet or watch youtube (not installed) or play games on it, below 40% end of the day.

Anyone experienced a better battery life with the base Iphone 17?
(I wait for the base 18 as its almost september)

But i feel this phone is almost as bad as my iphone 13 mini in terms of battery life.

On the other hand i am thinking off just see the fast battery drain as a feature to use the phone even less than now, and just have it in my bag for emergency calls and apple payments.

Because i feel the degradation of such a expensive device after 2 years with my use case is nuts.
