It was iPhone users' Achilles heel: a battery that failed long before its time. But with the introduction of the iPhone 15, Apple seems to have found the magic formula to give its batteries vivacity and longevity again.

The endless story of iPhone batteries that die too quickly! Who hasn't experienced the moment when our faithful pocket companion shows the first signs of fatigue after barely a year?
My iPhone 14 Pro is the perfect example : a battery that stopped keeping up after just 12 months of use and saw its capacity drop to 88%, according to iOS.

I accept everything
It's enough to make you wonder if you're cursed by batteries. Besides, I was far from the only one who made this observation.
But now the iPhone 15 Pro is here. Since its arrival last September, it has displayed a battery status in my pocket that has changed almost not one iota.

Mine shows 99% capacity when I check the battery health, and that's after more than 6 months with no change in my charging habits.
Apple has changed things
Apparently Apple has been working hard to rid us of batteries that don't die easily. The rule used to be: 500 charging cycles and the battery starts to wear out. But with the iPhone 15, Apple officially promises us twice as much. Yes, you read that right: it takes 1,000 charging cycles for the battery capacity to drop to 80%.

This performance is due to improvements in the design of the batteries and the charging system. It's only intended for newcomers to the iPhone family, but Apple is also taking a look at older models to see if they could benefit from a facelift.
For those lucky enough to walk around with an iPhone 15 in their pocket, that's good news. That means less stress about looking at the battery like milk on the stove, and potentially saves us from searching for a charger in the middle of the day.
