Why are only iPhone users concerned about battery health? Pedestrians tell the truth

Checking the health of the battery every few days is one of the basic operations for fruit powder. Android phones also have a similar battery health check, but why are only iPhone users concerned about battery health?

Hello everyone, this is the black cat. In this article, let's briefly talk about why the battery health is so strong only on the iPhone.

1. The origin of battery health

It all starts at the beginning, in 2017, Apple was exposed to models such as the iPhone 6s, without the user's knowledge, to adopt a "downclock" strategy for iPhones with a battery life of less than 80% to prevent accidental shutdown due to low voltage.

Apple's original intention may be for the sake of device security, but the consumer's understanding is this: my iPhone is good to use, and you deliberately limit the performance in order to let me change to a new phone.

In order to calm the situation, in iOS 11.3, Apple added the battery health feature, allowing users to check the health of the iPhone's battery.

And Apple also made it clear that the battery capacity is less than 80% and should be sent for after-sales repair, otherwise it may affect the performance, in short, it will become very stuck. However, even if the phone goes into performance management protection mode, Apple still offers the option to turn it off, which is no longer mandatory.

That's why fans are concerned about battery health – iPhones have a life cycle of up to 3-5 years, and if you don't replace them in a year or two, it's only a matter of time before you change the battery.

2. The problem of battery aging is becoming more and more severe

The discussion of Apple's aging battery is a "menstrual post", which will be refreshed every once in a while. But starting with the iPhone 14 series, the problem of battery aging has become more serious.

Previously, 9to5Mac reported that a large number of iPhone 14 Pro users collectively complained about the rapid aging of battery health, and claimed that this is "the fastest aging generation of all the iPhones that have been used".

This news is not groundless, in order to keep costs down, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 may use cheaper batteries.

According to RGcloud's revelations, the battery of the iPhone 15 series only has about 600 charging cycles, which is much lower than the 800 times of normal mobile phones.

In the past, some people said that Apple used slow charging to protect the battery, but now it seems that they have been slapped in the face - how good it sounds to charge slowly and change quickly.

3. The battery maintenance cost is unreasonable

While using a worse battery, Apple has also significantly increased the price of iPhone battery repairs: the cost of repairing the battery of the iPhone 15 series has risen to 809 yuan. You know, the same L-type battery, the original iPhone X battery repair price was 529 yuan.

This means that within two years, users must pay 809 yuan to "renew" the iPhone 15, otherwise it will enter a state of repair. On the Android side, the "long-life battery" with a larger capacity and even a higher number of cycles, such as OnePlus Ace3, the battery maintenance fee is only 199 yuan, and most other models do not exceed 300 yuan.

The cost of lithium batteries is very transparent, and the worse the data performance, but it is sold at two or three times the price, which is obviously Apple's deliberate control of the user's replacement frequency.

All in all, iPhone battery health is highly popularized, followed by the fact that it is a problem that almost every iPhone user faces, plus the cost of repair, it is no wonder that fruit fans are so concerned about battery health.
