My 15+ must have a much better batter than the 13 I had before. After one year of daily usage I am only at 95% life. Wow!!!

My series 9 Apple Watch I am at 99% life after 9 months of usage certainly a bit better than the 7 before it. Is Apple getting smarter with their batteries or what?

My iPhone 11 Pro Max (replacement) has 91% on the original battery. I got it (as a replacement for a broken 11PM) in May 2022. So…2.5 years of use so far.

My 6s Plus hit 80% of battery in November 2020, before replacing the battery. That was a September 2015 purchase, so 5 years on the original battery. The new battery is currently at 93% and it's been 4 years now.

Of course, I don't use my phones as substitute computers, game consoles, media devices, or televisions. So, if that's what you do with yours, then congrats - 95% is good.

My 13 is sitting at around 87% battery health after almost 2 years of use and can still provide me enough charge for a full day on most days. I also have an Apple MagSafe battery pack should I require some extra charge. I charge my phone each night as well as I watch a lot of videos on it along with instant messaging and web-browsing. It’s basically a substitute computer for me. I plan on having the battery replaced by Apple in Jan 2025.
