How Do Iphone Batteries Degrade. Answer 1 of 8. It was recently revealed that Apple has been throttling the performance of older iPhones to help preserve battery life.
This is an especially pertinent topic in the aftermath of the Batterygate fiasco and the introduction of battery health tools in iOS 113. On the other hand in our own testing some batteries degrade much slower than that. Compared with older generations of battery technology lithium-ion batteries charge faster last longer and have a higher power density giving more battery life in a lighter package.
Over time batteries in iPhones and iPads degrade meaning they hold less charge and last less time.
The iPhone battery can support hundreds of charge cycles in its lifespan. Replacing an iPhone battery may seem like a hassle but its nothing compared to replacing your iPhone. Not long after the successful OTA update I experienced an unexpected shutdown once. Lithium polymer batteries wont last forever and after around 500 charge cycles these batteries start to degrade.
