Apple Doubles iPhone 15 Battery Lifespan to 1,000 Cycles

The significant improvement, not attributed to hardware or software changes, comes ahead of new EU battery longevity regulations.

Apple has doubled the lifespan of iPhone 15 batteries to 1,000 charge cycles without any hardware or software updates, initially claiming a lifespan of 500 cycles.
The improvement is attributed to updates in battery components and power management systems over the years.
This change comes ahead of EU regulations requiring smartphones to display battery longevity information starting June 2025.
iOS 17.4 update introduces a new way to check battery health, including charge cycle count, for iPhone 15 users.
Older iPhone models are still rated at 500 charge cycles, but Apple is investigating potential updates.
