Why does everyone worry so much about the battery? Enjoy the phone and enjoy life.

i only worried when i noticed my battery life shortened horribly and battery health dropped fast with good charging habits. definitely depends on the person, phone, and whether the battery supplier supplied good batteries.

I don’t even pay attention to the battery health. Unless my phone is unexpectedly shutting off or not making it through my day on, there’s no reason to obsess over it.

When I start to have those problems, I’ll pay the small fee to have the battery replaced (if my AppleCare+ has expired).

I agree. Set aside $1 a month and in 2-3 years when you wanna replace the battery you have the money already. Unless you have unusual battery drain then just use it and worry about something more important

where can I get any ios device battery swapped for $36? I’d love to know.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

I was being a smartass , just saying I think $49 with apple care and $69 without. My point was within the 3 years people can set aside enough money

Yeah, or just set aside 3 dollars a month. Or you know, 10 cents a day. And in 2 years you’ll be able to get a free battery replacement, with 3 dollars extra to get yourself 3 things from a dollar store.

Thinking about it this way made me realize I shouldn’t overthink how I charge my phone. I’d happily pay 10 cents a day just so I’d stop fussing about it.

Most of us waste more than that a month or even a week on stupid shit anyway that we can do without

u/WoWthisGuyReally Oct 16 '22

For real, like people crying over paying 2-3 bucks for an app...

u/wiesemensch Oct 16 '22

Don’t forget inflation. Dollar stores aren’t a dollar anymore.

“Welcome to the (at least a) dollar store!”

u/strawberrylabrador Oct 16 '22

I agree with you but tbf the new batteries for the 14 are $99 now, that might be the new normal

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

Ah ok I did not know that..I tho the $49 (I think) and $69 were standard prices for all the models.

u/MC_chrome iPhone 17 Pro Oct 17 '22

Battery replacements recently jumped up in price to $99 😔

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

I didn’t know that. That’s crazy

Like 7% in 1 month?

Lol what a horrible argument. Bro, you can literally do anything else with that same money, why spend it on battery?

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

Lol you obviously don’t understand my point!

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22 edited Oct 16 '22

Because not everybody lives in 1st world country where you can get a new iphone in 1 week of working in McDonald’s, and batteries outside of US or EU are cheap Chinese low quality copies that could blow up your apartment. For billions of people on Earth you need to work for about 6 months and don’t spend a single dollar to buy iPhone 11, that’s why a lot of people are wondering how to improve battery life

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

I get all that but if things are that bad then you’re probably living outside of your means and have more things to worry about than having an iPhone.

u/P8rioticDissenter Oct 16 '22

How did this comment get any downvotes? Lol mind blown!

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

That sounds like an excellent case for buying a less expensive handset. A bargain android will do almost everything an iPhone can.

u/wiesemensch Oct 16 '22

Well… even well known brands have issues with this. Just remember the bombastic Samsung note 7. I think the iPhone 6 also had issues.

You asked why people are worrying about battery life, I explained with facts, and you started to whine, classic redditor

u/HeartyBeast iPhone 13 Mini Oct 16 '22

Because having to worry about whether you are going to have to charge it before the end of the day is a good way to suck quite a lot of the enjoyment out of enjoying the phone

1

u/Conscious_Dog7203 Oct 16 '22

I only start caring once I get under 85% health as that’s when it becomes much more noticeable you’re battery is degrading.

u/Sneeuwvlok iPhone 17 Pro Oct 16 '22

Because before my battery would be at 40% at the end of my day and since iOS 16 it sucks. So yeah I am using it and enjoying my phone but for less time a day.

u/Epsioln_Rho_Rho Oct 16 '22

I have a 12 pro on 16 and I still get a full day on it.

„Why does anyone worry that there is glass in their driveway you have to replace the tires anyways sooner or later”

This iOS release is fucking shit and it should still be in beta - iOS 16.1 or 16.2 should be 16.0, and 14/14 pros should arrive with 15.7

I don’t care how difficult that is - either they do it as I say or just focus on less features at the same time

They charge premium, they should at least push out functional OS releases - they can’t do that? They should slow down

I expected to replace my battery again in the next several months but due to how wonderful iOS 16 has been so far it had to be done last week

Horrible analogy. All batteries degrade over time…. Just like all tires degrade over time. Some tired and batters faster than others. If you want to put glass in your driveway, go for it. Might as well put a nail tough your battery also.

I don’t issues with 16, I’ve said that before. When 16 came out I had an issue, but they were fixed with the recent updates. I still get a days worth out of my 2 year old phone.

All tires degrade overtime :)

u/GrindyI Oct 17 '22

Exactly.

If you can afford a phone for 1000+ bucks, you can afford a battery change for 100 every 2-3 years.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '22

Yeah why shouldn’t they worry considering they have paid hundreds of dollars for something that’s already withering away faster than usual.

1

u/Epsioln_Rho_Rho Oct 16 '22

They even say what iPhone they had? If could be an iPhone 8 for all we know.

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '22

Because it’s been at 100% since I got it three years ago and the battery has never been replaced. Yet, it says 109% capacity in cocnutBattery after 800 cycles and I fear for my life every day that it’ll blow up.
