Wait for further test to come out. Other than throttling the performance of the proc, there is basically not much that could be done to lower temperatures, firmware wise.

The battery capacity of my 14 PM finally dropped 1% after updating to iOS 17.0.3. vmad.gif This phone was used since first launched last year. Been maintaining good charging habits all this while.

Maybe it’s sad that it will be passed on to another person. tongue.gif

Do you mind sharing your charging habit?  smile.gif

Usually charge at around 18-20% battery left. Max charge is 90%.

Hope I can maintain the same battery health with the current 15PM.


Shouldn't have updated the 14pm to IOS 17.0.3. It was still 100% battery life when I last turned it on. Itchy hands... doh.gif

Always update latest firmware for security patch concerns. Why are ppl so obsessed over the battery health? Just utilize your phone to the maximum capacity so you get your money worth. 99% won’t make your phone slower.

This is like my friend who drives 40km/h so he would save petrol. Use his car less so it will have less wear and tear…. Total facepalm

Agreed. But since I learned about "good charging habits of lithium batteries", my ocd keeps kicking in prompting me to watch my charging. sweat.gif laugh.gif

My charging pattern is similar with yours, just I do charge overnight and to 100%  innocent.gif

Soon you will switch to new phone, don't worry about the 1%  tongue.gif

I'm already on 15 PM. Going to continue these charging habits. Btw dont charge your phone overnight. Its really bad for your battery life. If you really need to do it, change to a auto stop charging cable like MCdodo.

I thought iphone will auto charge to 80% then stop and then continue charging in the morning until full? I always leave my phone to charge overnight before i go to bed. Well, my battery life is not good la 😅

Yes. Optimized charging would charge until 80% and continue to 100% later on in the morning. But the whole point here is to stop charging at 80%.

Collected my new 15PM, went through a roller coaster to get the replacement. Learnt a lot from this experience and concluded that this will be my last purchase from third party (telco), will only purchase from AASP mostly for post sales reasons.

Did it come in a seed box or a whole new box?

The secret is you have to keep calling and nagging Apple customer service like an old uncle/auntie. Then you will get it fast. laugh.gif

Need to toggle ON this option since my 14P batt life is 88%..
i can safely say less than 10 times accidently overcharge…

But i like to charge whenever i can to ensure more 90% batt at most of the time..

Yes. You need to turn it on Optimized Charging. But being me, with ocd kicking in, I just wouldn't let my phone charge overnight. Even with the auto stop charging cable from MCdodo plugged in. sweat.gif Though our Mcdodo spokesperson Benefon will claim otherwise. tongue.gif laugh.gif

QUOTE(dikae @ Oct 5 2023, 06:23 PM)
Came in a brand new box. My case quite complicated, went up all the way to apple’s head of department highest tier (apparently their CS got many tiers bla bla bla), initially maxis reject and give issue cos telcos are third party, not apple’s accredited reseller, hence the rejection (funny thing even with maxis safe device they declined the replacement), when HOD intervene then all issues became no issue.

Telcos don’t get phones from Apple, they get from specialised distributor (they call it HQ)

Conclusion, if buy from aasp all these would have been solved on day 2. Apparently Apple has a special ‘code’ when thrown out, the authorized resellers will not question further, straight replace 1 to 1…not applicable to third party…so lesson to me, buy from AASP or apple..
*
Maxis get their phones from Brightst**. Those who know would know. To me, its all their "karate" techniques to make returns and exchanges as difficult as possible so that you would give up. Usually there are not enough stocks to go around during launch so ... yeah....

Prepaid is the way to go. Save way way more than these silly postpaid telco packages.

Agreed 100%. I’m not a photography buff by any stretch of the imagination, only got the Pro Max for the larger battery thumbup.gif
Same here, although I did charge my 12 Mini overnight via a MagSafe stand - that Standby Mode so pretty, hahaha. The battery life was horrible so I could never unplug it after charged full and left overnight - I won’t have enough juice to last even half the day, hahaha.. I charged the phone at every opportunity I could get - when sitting at my desk at work, on a MagSafe car charger, etc. So the battery level never fell below 60% and it was quite a liberating experience. So yeah, don’t really care about battery health and cycle count… Besides, the Pro Max has more than enough juice to get me through the day.

Was told not to use third party cables by Terry who runs Dr. I-Device. I still do though laugh.gif
Nice bro, glad that ordeal is finally over for you! rclxms.gif

Of coz bro... if not how to make you buy overpriced "Original" cables from you know who..... rolleyes.gif

Wah. Good tips, bro.

Most of the standard advice we see online normally is to maintain charge betwee 30-80% for Lithium Ion. Which is actually very inconvenient to manage. 

Your usage habit of 18/20% - 90% charge is much easier to maintain.

Will start to practice as such with my 15 Pro Max now.

🫡😁
*
Hahaha... your ocd is getting to you now.


80% is not enough charge for daily usage. Anyway once charging reaches 80%, the phone will trickle charge the battery to 100% after that. So I think trickle chargimg to 90% should not do much harm to the battery. I personally feel the most damage done is by charging your phone overnight or to leave the phone still connected and plug on after battery charge reaches 100%.

Not sure if my habits are good but for my iPhone 12 I bought since launched in NOV 2020, the phone spent most of its time stuck with the magsafe charger at its back when I work on my desk during MCO. Today the phone still has 92% battery health after 3 years of usage!

Plan to have the same charging habit and see how it goes for my 15 Pro, thus I have bought a few more Magsafe chargers for the office and different rooms at home smile.gif

Depends on the reseller you order from, model and storage. So it all boils down a little bit of luck.

If you pre-ordered from Apple Store, you can still cancel if your cc is not charged. Try walking in to resellers around you and see if they have stock. Last Sunday, I asked Machines in MV and they have some stock for PM for certain colours and storage.

Anyone "downgraded" from Pro Max to Pro and regretting it?

Still using my 13 Pro Max and sometimes I feel like it's still too big but I want the big screen, battery and better camera?!

You can't. The smaller screen of the Pro will feel "cartoonish". You wont be able to live with a smaller screen.
