There's no way that's true. Otherwise everyone's phone battery would need to be completely replaced every 2 years
Edit: I just googled it. Apple claims that the iphone 17 should handle 1000 full charge cycles before reaching 80% capacity
- JK-Swizzle 24d agoLooks like I am going off old info. Up until the iPhone 14 it was 500 cycles to 80%, 15 and up is 1000. I also believe apple’s claim is assuming optimal conditions. Real life is going to do a fair bit worse. So likely 700-1000 cycles for 80% if the pattern holds up.
- ChrisRR 20d ago80% doesn't mean the battery needs replacing though
- JK-Swizzle 20d agoDepends on how you define it. I used “needs replacing” to mean “the average user will feel the battery is not meeting their needs”, which I believe 80% is generally accurate. This can be demonstrated by apple care allowing for battery replacement after the device is below 80% battery health. If you are using “needs replacing” to mean “the device will be non-functional or risk permanent damage”, you can go significantly lower than 80%. In fact, I think most devices could go down to 0% battery health unless the battery swells.
