14 pro Max After 11 months 90% 300 cycles

15 Pro Max after 6 months 98% and 118 cycles. still lasts forever so battery health is no concern of mine

I’m on 130 cycle count, 100% capacity. 👍

99% with 175. Idk if that’s good or not.

@@natas12rm that’s fine ngl, mine went down 2% already im guessing because its always exposed to some heat

And it's funny to see just million of youtube videos with "reviewers" switching from iphone to Samsung ;) They never switch to any other Android;) Like there are no brands like Motorola, Xiaomi, Asus.... no, they only switch to Samsung. I wonder why is that ;)

⁠​⁠@@jakub5443I would assume it’s because Samsungs flagship phones are what carriers choose to show off as it’s a pretty refined Android experience. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Xiaomi or ASUS phone being sold at by any US carriers. And most reviewers choose to make videos on what people are going to buy, which 90% of the time users will get either iPhone or Samsung.

​@@jakub5443That's what I was also wondering. I have been an android user for 14 years and just got a 15 Pro yesterday and it just feels so premium and smooth. Both have pros and cons, but so far I'm impressed with the iPhone.

@@jakub5443i switched from samsung to iphone 15 pm and for me is perfect by the way before you speak about samsung and xiaomi you should search and better to have one of these to see the difference cause I think Xioami is much better that Samsung

@@jakub5443It is one of the most hyped-up brands out there. S24 Ultra right now is the best in terms of features. Plus, the trend right now is to hate Apple, and thats what people enjoy. Some people even create stories just to hate the iPhone, like “came from ip15 to s24 ultra, its miles better” I do get why Samsung is arguably the best Android out there. The pricing is the same as the iPhone, so buying the flagship one feels also premium, but I still decided to go Apple because I have been using Android since 2013. I have used many Android phones, 2 flagships, 3 budget phones, 1 midrange, i think, and 2 Android tabs, but optimization and longevity are always the problems.

How have you only had 82 charge cycles, I have 182 since November

Bro it’s been 7 months since it was unveiled

@@Ryanmobilereviews yeah I’ll tell you this much, my 15 Pro is fine! Can’t wait for iOS 18! However, on the hardware front, I have no issues with my15 pro! Love it!

do you unplug it when it gets to 80?

@@Anton-oy3vm nope and it's a rather long story as to what I do after that. Actually, I could tell you through a few paragraphs from a blog post I did in my personal blog about this subject. Since I had upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro, I have used the 80% Charging Limit feature and it is certainly worth it. I use it and Optimized Battery Charging, together in my own situation. I use a powerbank to charge the phone to 80 if and when my phone needs charging during the day, before I go to bed. It stays around 80 and either tries to charge and can’t, or it drops a percentage or 2. Before I shuffle off to dreamland, I switch to the 20 W wall charger and another cable I had purchased for when I wish to charge the phone this way, or from a critical point to 80, or 100%. I make the switch quickly, so as to not interrupt the charging cycle too much. Anyway, after I make the switch from a powerbank to electrical mains, I go into Settings, Battery, Battery Health and charging. I then switch the charging option to Optimized Battery Charging and it does one of two things. It either goes right to 100%, or it goes part of the way there and it commences optimized battery charging. In other words, with the second option it does what you would expect it to do at 80% with finishing the charge at a certain time, estimated by the device. It has gone to either 82, 83, or as high as 87% and the result is the same. The phone will eventually get to 100% like normal, but it takes its sweet time to get there, while taking an hours long rest break before reaching the mountaintop. Also, the important thing is that it does not overheat the device and it does give a notification as to when the phone will be estimated to be fully charged as normal with optimized battery charging.The other thing I do is if I am going from the critical point to fully charging my phone, I plug my phone into the wall charger and the other cable, while switching battery charging to the 80% limit before I go to Snoozeville. When I wake up, I switch battery charging to Optimized Charging and it charges right to 100%. It takes about an hour or so, but it goes right to the top of the mountain, without taking a break. Either way, I really appreciate how we have more control over how we charge our iPhones than ever before and we should have had this option available to us since iOS 13 and the introduction of Optimized Battery Charging in the first place.

Mine had just ok battery life. Better than my old 8 but not as good as my roommates 13 pro

@@Anton-oy3vm I do, but you can leave it and it won't go over 80%

Aa ee qrd⁴❤​@@Anton-oy3vm

Same also they haven’t improve the charging speed even tho they switched to UsB C

You will when the 16 comes out.

Battery charge usage is the same as the 13 Pro as well despite the improved power efficiency of the new 3nm processor. 80-20% in around ~6 hours 30 minutes with general usage on 120Hz (~5h 30m to 6h on 5G, 7h to 7h 30m on wifi).

13 Pro pretty good now :)

Casual user will never have a reason

Same 14 pro is like 95% of the 15 pro

That’s actually nice, I’m thinking of getting it this week with the trade in credit. I’m guessing capping it at 80% helps always right or it depends on experience right

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@zollotech I never have not enjoyed your videos!

11 Pro with that Baby camera

Glad to hear! I will also be getting one over this weekend.

😏

😏🙄indeed

Thank you

@@zollotech No, thank you for the dedication you put into this craft of yours!

whats the point of loosing 20% of the battery life from the beginning? :D , never understood this... 115cycles 100% battery life, charging as I need, most of the time laptop 65w charger , when I go to sleep 18w charger, usually charge from 40% and above to 95-100%

@@michalk.8285 If you find 80% charge doesn't suite your needs then yeah it isn't the right option for you. For me I never run out of charge by the end of the day when starting at 80% so it isn't an issue and if the battery experts say it will keep the battery in better condition for longer and doesn't impact my day to day use I am gonna use it.

​ michalk.8285 The problem with your misunderstanding is that you call it an "initial 20% loss". It isn't. In most situations this level of charge may well be enough, the user often knows in advance where they will be. And in those situations where more battery life may be needed the user will charge the smartphone to 100%, and this is where a good battery health level will serve well. Like an overall good battery health level for a sale, for example, is also one of the important factors.

Good to know. Thx

How’d you realise it was failing? Anything in particular?

@@_SALVADOR__nothing was recording on voice memo, and when calling or receiving calls (standard and WhatsApp), no sound at all from the iPhone. Contacted Apple who ran an initial OTA diagnostic, then recommended that I go into the store to see what was the issue (they didn’t confirm anything). The Apple Genius ran a proper full diagnostic and only their diagnostic software in store picked up the problem, and they took the phone to check the usual water indicators and damage indicators (which were fine) and an hour later I was given a brand new replacement iPhone 15 Pro.

@@_SALVADOR__ i would also like to know

@@JTWALL100 my reply was deleted by the algorithm. Basically if you notice the voice memo records nothing and also the other person can’t hear you on the phone (standard and on whatsapp etc) despite full bars on network and wifi calling, then there’s a problem with the mic. If you have another phone with a sim in you can check that way as well.

Do you still use fast charging?? Just wondering if you’re not really concerned about the battery cause it will degrade overtime regardless and not stay 100% forever

Wait for the 16 pro, since it will be their second gen pro chip and probably more features.

@@Popgrenade-ml3tg Ok, thanks! And would you go for 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max? Since I have a 14 Pro but not sure if the 6.9 16 Pro Max inch would be too big compared to the 6.3 regular 16 Pro size?

For me, it's 125 charge cycles and 100% battery health. I got my Pro Max on launch day, too. I've very impressed with it.

Not 120Hz display. Its a deal breaker for many

I’m guessing that most people buy with finance or on contract. Over 24 months the difference is only $12.50 a month. I recommend the 15 Plus for my mum. She just wanted the bigger screen and better battery life.

Because your already paying that much for the phone what’s a little more for the full experience 😂

@@nebulainfinite599 ... my mum is 75. It would be a total waste of £300. Besides, in normal use the 15 Plus has better battery life. Probably because of the 60Hz screen.

@@nebulainfinite599 Point well taken. Just that I had to get all new bricks, cords (for USB-C) apple earbuds on wires and etc., plus a new iPad (mini 6) so I really could not afford to spend the $200-$300 extra, when all was said and done.

Exactly why I grab the smaller pro each year. It’s negligible if the phones can’t last more than 2 days. It’ll be years before a phone can last over 2 days with heavy use.

But the pro models from next year is rumored to be 6.3 inch instead of the current 6.1 inch

@@Popgrenade-ml3tg yes. I’ve had the pixel 5 back a while and it was a great size, but not as heavy as Apple’s phones.

@@Popgrenade-ml3tgthat’s going to be perfect! I’ll get the 17 pro when I do my upgrade from 15 pro max.

End of the year? U might as well get the 16/16 pro

@@Popgrenade-ml3tg yes. I could, but I don’t need it. And because of the discount

Yes!!! I returned my 15 pro max bc the battery was AWFUL. I still have my 13 pro max

at 229 cycles, my battery health dropped to 99%.

That’s actually impressive, how did you keep it that way?? Others had different experiences with battery degrading too fast but most likely due to heat

You should try heif max 48mp. It’s amazing and doesn’t waste storage

My iPhone 15 Pro Max is still at 100% with 220 Cycles. I do change mines up to 100% tho

@@ShowYourSmile. I do also charge it now and then to 100%, i also believe that IOS does it periodically aswell for battery health.

@@lazardanilovic Yes definitely, & I’m glad we’re still part of the 100% club.

Be careful on eBay, don’t buy sealed phones. Otherwise that’s a good deal.

Apple says that’s a software problem, but I honestly think it’s hardware problem. Since it’s their first ever “pro” chip, it might be using a lot of power and hence the heating and battery drain issues. If it’s a software related problem, most apps are not optimised for the A17 pro chip so it might get fixed in future updates.

@@Popgrenade-ml3tg i really hope you are right about the software ..... its getting annoying to even hold the phone right now .

I also had the 7 and upgraded to the 15 pro and love it. No issues at all. I really loved my 7 but I was changing the battery to 100% and left it on the counter overnight and next morning it was 1%.

Who cares a battery is 100 bucks 😂

@@josephpepe2607 point is that in less than a year it’s dropped 13%

What did you do to keep it at 100% just curious cause others have had different experiences

Why don’t you have Apple install a new battery? My 12PM was misbehaving and a new battery fixed it. Looking at the S24U, the iPhone 16PM needs to be a big upgrade to keep up with Samsung.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is just the 12 Pro Max version 4. Same design same user interface. I had the Apple Store put a new battery in mine. Looking at the S24U, I think the 16 Pro Max will need to be a big upgrade.

@@dazauto107 I think battery is the main culprit for heating and lagging of device is it?
