iPhone battery health

Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update finally lets you decide exactly how full your iPhone should get during every recharge. Instead of the old one-size-fits-all “80 % cap,” you can now stop at 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 percent—giving you a simple way to slow battery wear without living on a charger.

The charge-limit slider appears on iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max and all newer models. Earlier devices stick with the classic Optimized Battery Charging toggle.
