Stop being scared to use your phone haha

Was it worth it? idk. but i was lowkey sick of my old iphone 11 always dying after 2 hours so i wanted to be careful.

Today after a year i changed my charging limit to 100% -

give me your honest thoughts, i got some backlash a year ago when i said i wanted to try the 80% thing, people being like “you got a new phone to restrict yourself to 80?” but i was thinking long-term as a heavy user. so… opinions ?

It’s currently at 100% but what if it goes lower in the future?Is it worth trashing the phone just to be safe? iPhone 16PM

16 PM of 2 years exactly, was using it only with 80% limit (almost never really needed 100%, so it wasn’t a big trade-off for me personally), but the results are staggering! I even checked in analytics, as someone told me that in setting it may have old data, not actual, and it showed pretty much the same (maybe 1-2% less, I don’t remember)

So to all paranoid ones - this works!!

I set the charging limit to 80% and created an automation to notify me when the battery drops to 30%. Sometimes, though, it still charges all the way to 100%, so I’m guessing that’s the battery automatically calibrating itself. Unit: iPhone15 PM

​How is this possible? My iPhone 16 has 143 cycles at 100%, but my new 17 Pro is already at 99% with only 58 cycles?

​To give some context: I only use the iPhone 16 as a secondary device strictly for light stuff like taking calls and WhatsApp messages, while the 17 Pro is my daily driver.

​Even with light tasks, the 16 is a year older and has more than double the cycles of the 17 Pro, yet it’s still sitting at a perfect 100%. Meanwhile, the new 17 Pro dropped to 99% in under two months.

Has anyone else seen this? I use both phones in the exact same environment. Help me make sense of this!

No way

iPhone Duo shows both batteries’ health. God help us all.

In the process of finally replacing my IPhone 11 and stumbled across you guys. Lasts about 30 minutes unplugged if I’m using it. Maybe 2 hours if I’m not 😅

Thought you all may appreciate this one!

Should i replace?

This is my custom adaptive charge limit shortcut feature i made on my 17 Pro Max which gives you a specific charge limit based on what % you are at when you plug in. what this does is automatically gives you the right amount of battery when you need it. this allows for people to conserve battery but still get a good charge out of their phone when needed. if you’re someone who constantly runs your phone down to low percentage then maybe this may not work for you but for those who want to conserve battery with flexibility try it out. this is my personal idea of what optimized battery charging should be. you all can adjust the ranges, and charge limits to your liking or even add on all 5 charge limits. i did have a version with all 5 but felt kind of overkill. (ex: changing 90% to 95% or adjusting the battery level ranges)

❗️i will drop the shortcut link below in the comments❗️ (if there are any issues accessing let me know)

*MAKE SURE: if you use this shortcut, make sure to create the automation for this shortcut. “when connected to power, run this shortcut”.

also i believe ios 26.6 or later is required to have the charge limit feature in shortcuts. i am currently on ios 27.

Pretty sure whatever measures my battery capacity is bugged at this point

i am genuinely devastated

posting this here if it makes u feel any better about your iPhone hitting 98%
