Apple has updated the information on their support page, stating that the iPhone 15 series has a battery that can maintain 80% capacity after 1,000 charge cycles. Previously, Apple claimed it was 500 cycles, similar to previous iPhone models.
Apple states that this new data is tested by charging and discharging in normal conditions, similar to regular use. This information applies specifically to the batteries of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 15 series is the only group of iPhones that can be set to stop charging at 80% battery capacity. Apple claims this helps extend the battery lifespan and allows users to view the charge cycle count. This feature is available in iOS 17.4, currently in beta testing for developers. The battery section in Settings has been updated to show battery status for easier monitoring.
