How about Apple batteries? ——Analysis of hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days
Recently, topics related to Apple batteries have once again become the focus of attention in the technology circle and consumers. From battery life performance to replacement costs, to the impact of iOS system optimization on the battery, the following is a structured analysis of popular discussions across the Internet in the past 10 days.
1. Comparison of Apple battery performance data (latest models in 2024)

| Model | Battery capacity (mAh) | Official battery life | Fast charging support |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | 4422 | 29 hours video playback | 27W wired +15W MagSafe |
| iPhone 15 | 3349 | 20 hours of video playback | 20W wired + 12W MagSafe |
| iPhone 14 Pro | 3200 | 23 hours video playback | 20W wired + 15W MagSafe |
2. The three major issues that consumers are most concerned about
1.Battery health drops too quickly: Users of multiple social platforms reported that the battery health dropped below 90% after 6 months of use. This may be related to the optimization of the background process of iOS 17.4.
2.Official replacement costs are high: Apple China’s official website shows that the cost of replacing the out-of-warranty battery of the iPhone 15 series is 809 yuan (a price increase of 160 yuan compared with the previous generation), triggering heated discussions.
3.Third-party battery compatibility: The new "battery health verification" function added in iOS 17.3 causes some third-party batteries to be unable to display complete data. This topic was discussed on Reddit more than 23,000 times per week.
3. Actual measurement data from technical experts
| test items | iPhone 15 Pro | Samsung S23 Ultra | Google Pixel 8 Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous video playback | 18 hours and 42 minutes | 21 hours and 15 minutes | 19 hours and 08 minutes |
| 5G web browsing | 9 hours and 12 minutes | 11 hours and 05 minutes | 10 hours and 33 minutes |
| Game power consumption/hour | 23% | 19% | 21% |
4. Practical suggestions for extending battery life
1.Charging habits: Keep the battery between 20%-80% and avoid charging overnight. Apple’s official data shows that long-term storage with full power will accelerate capacity decay.
2.temperature control: Use in an environment above 35℃ will permanently damage the battery. It is recommended to remove the phone case to dissipate heat while gaming.
3.System settings: Turning off background APP refresh can reduce standby power consumption by 15%, and dark mode can save 7% power on OLED screen models.
5. Future technology trends
According to Bloomberg, Apple is testing stacked battery technology that can increase the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro by 10% while reducing heat generation. According to patent documents, Apple may add an "adaptive charging curve" function to future models to personalize the charging strategy through machine learning.
In summary, Apple batteries maintain their advantages in system optimization and safety, but they still need to improve in terms of absolute battery life and replacement costs. Consumers should weigh the actual usage needs and rationally use official optimization tools (such as charging limit function) to extend battery life.
