On this week’s episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss all of the latest rumors about the iPhone 17 “Slim” – a whole new kind of iPhone coming next year. The ‌iPhone 17‌ “Slim” is expected to sit above the ‌iPhone 17‌ Pro Max in 2025’s ‌iPhone‌ lineup with a starting price of approximately $1,299. The main selling point is said to be its all-new design touting a super-thin aluminium-titanium chassis and a relocated rear camera that could feature a variable aperture for the first time.

Here’s How to Check Your iPhone’s Battery Health

Published by skeptic

Earlier this year, Apple retested the batteries of its iPhone 15 models and updated its battery life claims for the entire series, suggesting that they offer better longevity than previously thought. Curious about the battery health of your iPhone 15? Here’s how to check it. Apple in February 2024 updated the technical specifications for the batteries in the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to its latest tests, Apple says that the devices’ batteries are designed to retain 80% of their original capacity at 1,000 complete charge cycles under ideal conditions. It’s a significant improvement over the 500 charge cycles that the company advertises for all older iPhone models over the same cycle count. iPhone 15 models also include a Battery Charging Optimization feature, so if you regularly charge your ‌iPhone‌ up at night while you’re asleep, the device can limit its charging to 80%, and then wait for an hour or so before you wake up to charge the remaining 20%. This keeps the ‌iPhone‌ at …
