The iPhone 15 series introduced a new battery health setting that was exclusive to the new phones last year. You can limit the maximum charge to 80%. The idea is that you'll extend battery health in the process. It's a terrific setting to use if you plan on keeping the iPhone for several years before upgrading to a new model. All iPhone batteries degrade over time, so you'll want to keep them above 80% for the longest possible period. Preventing charging over 80% could help with that. On that note, you can set a higher limit if you want to avoid hitting 100% and get a longer battery life. I saw no reason for Apple not implementing the same feature on older iPhones. I wanted the same battery setting on my iPhone 14 Pro but never got it. There is a way to prevent the iPhone battery from reaching 100%, but it involves using a shortcut and paying attention to the handset. Fast-forward to September 2024, and we have the results of the experiment we needed. MacRumors' Juli Clover used the 80% limit for an entire year on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and posted the results. Spoiler alert: they're not spectacular. But they're also not bad either. I still think there's a use case for the setting, but I also think it needs tweaking.
