Here’s a summary of teh article about the iPhone 16 Pro Max battery test:
Key Findings:
* 80% Charge Limit: After a year of keeping the iPhone 16 Pro Max charged to a maximum of 80%, the battery health is at 94% with 299 charge cycles.
* Avoiding Deep Drains: The tester focused on keeping the battery between 20% and 80% charge, learning from a previous test where frequent deep discharges (below 20%) were observed.
* Comparable to iPhone 15 Pro Max: The battery health after one year is similar to the iPhone 15 Pro Max under the same testing conditions (94% capacity).
* Charging Methods: The phone was charged using both MagSafe and USB-C, with MagSafe sometimes causing the device to get hot, particularly with battery packs.
Overall Impression:
The experiment suggests that limiting the charge to 80% doesn’t drastically improve or worsen battery health compared to standard charging practices. The results indicate that battery degradation is likely a natural process, and maintaining a moderate charge range (20-80%) might be beneficial.
