| >I doubt any phone battery is lasting 5+ years. Just coming up to five years on mine and it is still at 87% capacity. |

| That is genuinely shocking to hear. You have to be like 3+ sd above the mean. Do you know how many charge cycles you have? I recall that most batteries need replacing after 300-500 cycles. |

| My iPhone 14 Pro is almost 4 years old and at 65% capacity. I don't know how everyone else is (not) using their phones. |

| ▲ | JK-Swizzle 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think you are the average case. I follow the estimate that lipos lose 2-4% capacity per year without any use beyond recharging for safety. If the battery sees daily use that number gets a lot worse. My guess is everyone else is the perfect mix of hardly any use and winning the battery lottery. | |

| iPhone 11 coming up on 7 years old in December, still at ~85% capacity. Really it mostly depends on how heavily you use it, and maybe to a lesser extent charging habits (charging slowly, not charging to 100%, etc). |

| ▲ | JK-Swizzle 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I hear you, but the convenience of 30W charging is very hard to give up. The only downside is it damages the battery, which makes it harder to give up, which damages the battery more. |

| ▲ | chrisweekly 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | My 13pro is at 84% capacity, but in the last month or two it seems to lose charge much more rapidly than it used to. Probably the only reason I'll consider an upgrade. | |
| ▲ | JK-Swizzle 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Very jealous over here. I had a 12 mini whose battery dropped off a cliff just in time for the mini line to get discontinued. Big phones are overrated. | | |
