First use on 2nd October. 13 cycles until now. 80% is on. Using mainly for music, surfing and talking photos. No social media apps installed as I use an Android (Xperia 1V) for all that stuff. Tethering is using most of my battery.

First Use: September 2023

I charge my phone every other day because it lasts so long, even though I'm using my phone constantly. I use a 30W fast charger with all the battery health optimization features turned off.

15 pro max

manufacture date - july 2023
first use - september 2023 (launch day so 22nd)
cycle count - 12
battery health - 100%

i have charging set to 80% limit and always charge when it gets to 20-25%. despite "losing out" on ~40-45% battery life the battery life is great for me. i last charged to 80% at 13:08 on Thursday so it has been just over 28 hours since being charged (it's now 17:19 on Friday). I'm currently at 31% charge.

If i charged to 100% and used it to 5-10% then the battery life would be phenomenal!
15 Plus:
manufacture date - August 2023
first use - October 2023
cycle count - 9
battery health - 100%

I usually keep the charge between 80 and 40% because that lasts me all day, and it keeps the battery ‘healthy’.

Feeling very self conscious about my 66 cycle count right now... too much YouTube background play, I guess.

15 Pro Max, launch day. 28 cycles. I am on wifi with cellular radio off for most of the day, set to not charge above 80%. I do not keep it on the charger overnight, and see drops of ~20% overnight even with low power mode on.
