It was just over five months since Apple introduced the iPhone 15 generation last September. Without it being a particularly revolutionary generation in the basic models, we find more interesting innovations in the professional models, which also, as you surely remember, made the leap to titanium, which, in addition to a very attractive appearance, also brought them a more than noticeable weight reduction.

During the technology company’s presentation events of its new devices They focus on key events, as well as in those aspects in which they believe their proposal particularly excels. In this regard, Apple has lost some of the formula that Steve Jobs loved when he took the stage, not to mention the technical specifications. Today, data of this type is shared in key notes those from Cupertino, but still only the key ones.

If we want more information about it, we have to go to the manufacturer’s website, where we usually find a sheet with all the technical specifications… well, not all of thembecause in some cases some information is intentionally left out (searching the iPhone datasheets on Apple’s website, RAM size), or it is information so particularly specific that we have to resort to the rest of the information, the technical documentation, to find it.

This is the case, the second, if we want to get information about the life cycle of the smartphone battery, although in cases like this it can translate into losing the visibility of something that is actually quite positive. So as 9to5Apple found out, Apple has doubled the iPhone 15 battery life cycle specificationsomething they were able to figure out by editing one of those technical documentation pages I listed earlier.

In this way, the documentation now stated that the battery installed by Apple in the iPhone 15 He is able to last 1000 charge cycles before his health drops below 80%while what those at Cupertino were putting into refreshing the page was only half, or 500 load cycles, before its health dropped below 80%, a threshold that many define as optimal.

It seems quite likely that even at the time of launch Apple was aware that the batteries’ resistance to degradation was higher than stated in the specifications, but still They weren’t able to make the dates official until they had some type of more reliable confirmation, either from the battery manufacturer or from tests conducted by Apple itself, which in many cases go beyond the release date of the device. Be that as it may, congratulations if you have an iPhone 15, because it turns out that its battery lasts twice as long as you thought.
