I play games on my phone and I had to use it as a hotspot a lot at home.
I got my iPhone 15 on Jan 19, 2024. Right now it says:
-Battery Health says Normal
-Maximum Capacity is 91%
-Cycle Count is at 367
I charge it daily through the USB-C port, mostly charging it when it's at 40-50%, but sometimes it reaches 20% depending on what happens that day.
I will say that the last 2-3 months, which would be some 14-15 months after I bought it, the battery seems to have gotten noticeably worse and drains faster, and I'm not using it any differently than usual.

Yeah same here with the battery life. I'm at 85% with 344 cycles.
I came from a 11 Pro (best battery life and health), Pixel 6 Pro (pretty bad battery life) and when I upgraded to the 15 Pro it seemed good at first. Once it "broke in" and the health percentage started dropping it's on par or worse than the Pixel. Thankfully I have Applecare because at the rate mine is dropping the battery will be replaced soon.
15 Pro bought January 2024. Still at 100% @ 217 cycles. Using 80% limit from day one.
Nope. Apple Music, Safari, YouTube, mostly light apps. Still, I am impressed because in January 2025 I bought iPad 10 and for 5 months its battery went from 103 to 97% with the same usage pattern.
I’m a heavy user so I expect my battery to degrade quickly and I have no issues with that, as I have AppleCare+. Once I discovered how quickly the battery degraded on my 15PM, I started to use it even more than before. I’m not complaining as I always have a power source near me so I always have a charge.
Wish I had apple care+, dismissed it and thought I don’t need it, maybe 2027 then when I am getting my next iPhone 🙏
I always buy it for peace of mind. I rather have it and not need it than to not have it and need it.
% with 414 cycles. iPhone 15 Pro, ordered it on launch day, arrived in October 2023.
I guess, it's pretty much, what I expected to see.
Don't use a charge limit, just optimized charging.
Charge it every night with Mag Safe.
Still gets me through most days, even though in the evenings the charge is usually running low, so I often replenish it.
Will get an iPhone 17 Pro this fall.

Something is really wrong with my 15 PM - 312 cycles and 89% ! 😬😬😬
Apple Support at Apple Store said it’s perfectly fine, even if it’s under one year in usage…
It’s probably going to stay at a certain percentage for a couple months before dropping even more.
