Three-Year iPhone Battery Test: 80% Charge Limit Yields 97% Capacity

MacRumors reports that limiting iPhone charging to 80% over three years resulted in 97% battery capacity for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, outperforming previous models. The iPhone 16 Pro Max reached 94% after one year, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max held 94% after its first year. The author attributes the improved results to USB-C charging and better thermal management in newer devices. Commenters debate whether the trade-off of reduced daily battery life is worth the marginal longevity gains, noting that many users see similar capacity without limits.

Apple Retires iPhone 17 Pro Family as 18 Pro Arrives

Apple has discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max following the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro lineup; the 17 Pro models are no longer sold on Apple's store.

They started at $1,099 and $1,199. The new iPhone 18 Pro lineup starts at $1,199 for the iPhone 18 Pro and $1,299 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, with the smaller model offering a 2TB storage option for the first time. Apple also unveiled the foldable iPhone Duo at $1,999 and raised prices on the iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17e on its store.

Pixel 11 Pro XL Goes Head-to-Head with iPhone 17 Pro Max in a Flagship Showdown

Google’s Pixel 11 Pro XL and Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max are competing for the top spot in the premium smartphone space, with Pixel offering a brighter 3,600-nit display and a 5,115 mAh battery, along with AI-driven features like Gemini and Magic Capture, while the iPhone emphasizes Dynamic Island, a 6.9-inch OLED, strong battery life, and Pro camera tools such as Photographic Styles. Both flagships sport high-end cameras and fast charging (Pixel up to 45W wired, 25W wireless; iPhone up to 40W wired, 25W wireless) and similar storage options, though pricing differs at launch ($1,299 for Pixel 256GB vs $1,199 for iPhone 256GB). Real-world performance will depend on software optimization and efficiency, with Apple’s ongoing software updates and Pixel’s Android 17/Snapdragon-like AI features shaping daily use.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s silicon-carbon battery outlasts iPhone 17 Pro Max in head-to-head test

In a side-by-side test, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra with a 7,050mAh silicon-carbon battery and up to 100W charging outlasts the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which has a roughly 4.8–5.1k mAh capacity, in real-world battery life and charging speed. Over three hours of 1080p YouTube playback, the iPhone stayed at 90% while the Find X9 Ultra finished at 94%; in charging tests, the iPhone reached 64% in 30 minutes (35% at 15 minutes) versus 74% in 30 minutes for the Oppo (44% at 15 minutes). The article suggests silicon-carbon tech is pushing ahead and could push Apple/Samsung to adapt, while noting Oppo’s larger battery and faster charge give it a tangible edge today.
