Apple has updated its claims about the battery health of the iPhone 15. Initially, Apple stated that the battery could maintain at least 80% of its original capacity for 500 charging cycles. However, it has now revised this to 1,000 cycles. It remains unclear whether the batteries themselves have improved or if Apple has simply altered how it tests and describes them. Apple's support pages suggest that software features like limiting charging to 80% and other optimizations contribute to the improved battery performance.
