Apple says the iPhone 15’s battery got better — but won’t say exactly how


Big if true.

Even battery claims that previously had no qualifiers now note they require “ideal conditions.” One instance of the language still appeared on a support page yesterday, but it was updated after The Verge emailed to ask for clarification on the testing conditions. Apple’s support pages mention the phones’ built-in software features to help preserve battery life, and the iPhone 15 includes an option to limit charging to 80 percent to help long-term performance. Apple’s been under a lot of pressure to provide users with more data since it was caught throttling speeds on older iPhones due to battery issues.
