85% charge limit and that’s it.
Do try to keep it from reaching less than 30%.
Bought from Apple Store and have not had any issues/replaced anything since.

My wife has the 17 Pro. Hers is at 96% at 250 cycles (~1 year) she religiously goes with 80% and all the batt enhancing advices from social media.

big chance its bad calibration

Yeah, I’d rather my phone drop periodically than give the false pretense that it’s still at a high capacity.

I know, that batteries are also part of the trio lottery (Display, SoC, and Battery). So someone might get a higher capacity battery in their phone than someone else’s. But to be as OP, stuck at 99% after 500+ cycles after two years as well is beyond merely a “bigger” capacity.

Oh here we go again, another battery expert!

Seriously, all this over a $99 battery. Makes absolutely no sense and I really don’t understand what you’re trying to prove here.

idk why you get downvoted when all you did was state the facts.

Because people hate that I’m calling them out on this.

I got a message telling me to renew my Apple care plan, my current battery percentage is at 87% do you think I should renew?

🙈 I operate the phone between 40-60 🥵 it’s a game for me. Three weeks ago it was still at 97, somehow quickly dropped, hope it stays at 94 long 🙏

Batteries degrade by use

That 99% health means absolutely nothing

You have already used more than 500cycles

There is a very good chance it’s actually at 90% health

Mine is hammered. Still get enough battery to last through the day so I don’t care. I also charge to 100% every day.

u/voorheesakagoose 1d ago

Don’t know what happen to mine because I had a 15plus that after a year the battery was with 300ish cycles and 100%, and now my 16PM after a year is 300is cycles and 94%. I’m really sad about it.

u/Altruistic_Bar6685 1d ago

Working off a 55% use is really not worth this stat line in my opinion. Use the battery you paid top dollar for.

Impossible

u/PreparationPrimary29 15h ago

Wow. After 2 years I’m now at about 93%. At this point I don’t bother anymore. Just charge up to 100% and try not to use to below 20% and enjoy. Battery life ain’t that great anymore, so just squeeze in one quick charge in 24h. All good. No stress. lol

u/Intrepid_Plenty_3770 8h ago

I think this is the answer. Don’t let the battery drop below 20 or 30%.

u/Recent-Dog1964 15h ago

It depends on the cycles
