iPhone Battery Health and When is the Right Time to Get it Replaced: Battery life of any device is depending on the condition of the battery. The lithium-ion batteries used on smartphones are degradable, and their performance and health degrade as they get older and go through multiple change cycle.

To make things easier and battery to understand, Apple added Battery Health feature to iOS and iPadOS that keeps a track of battery conditons on iPhones and iPads.

We have explained the entire Battery Health feature that iPhones and iPads offer. This includes all the messages, battery percentage as well as the indication that tells you that it is now the time to get the battery of the phone replaced.

How to Check Battery Health of iPhone:

Battery Health & Charging is a dedicated section under the Settings → Battery menu.

The section mainly includes three options — Battery Percentage, Peak Peformance Capabilities and Optimised Battery Charging.

For instance, if the phone’s battery health is 100%, then the battery condition is top notch and it will offer best possible battery life. If it has been degraded to a certain level, the battery performance of the phone may start getting affected.

Apple says that the batteries on iPhones have been designed to sustain 80% health after 500 cycles.

If iOS is unable to determine the device battery health, you’ll see this message:
“This iPhone is unable to determine battery health. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can service the battery. More about service options…”. This may be due to having an improperly installed battery or an unknown battery part.

If battery health has degraded significantly, the below message will also appear:

“Your battery’s health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can replace the battery to restore full performance and capacity. More about service options…”

This message indicates that the battery health has been degraded to an extenet where you need to get it replaced. Do note that this does not indicate any safety issue, the battery can be used, but with performance and battery limitations.

If you see this message “ Important Battery Message Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery. Health information not available for this battery. Learn more…”. Then the replacement battery is not genuine.

7 Reason to Don’t Buy the iPhone 16: Check Details

7 Reason to Dont Buy the iPhone 16: The American company Apple has recently launched its brand new device- iPhone 16 series in the market. iPhone 16 models come with many features, like A18 Pro chip, durable ceramic sheild glass, and more.

There are some missing features with the iPhone 16 to be sure. And we may discover more about the device.

Here are the reasons to buy the iPhone 16 series:

60Hz refresh rate remains:

Among the major phone manufacturers, Apple is still unique in that its flagship phones have long ago been fitted with fast-refreshing screens. Currently, premium phones almost always come with a faster refresh rate since it makes for better navigation and more engaging visuals.

But not so far as Apple is concerned. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus remain stuck at 60Hz.

No Front and Telephoto Camera:

Apple has not made any major camera improvements to the iPhone 16 Pro. The main and ultrawide shooters offer some improvement in image quality because of a newer sensor. The 12MP front TrueDepth camera and the 5x telephoto camera, however, are still the same.

The only “upgrade” is that the smaller iPhone 16 Pro now also packs a 5x telephoto camera, which was previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Brightness:

By any measure, it is not an awful number. Additionally, the iPhone 15 demonstrated its brightness in our tests, measuring 1,401 nits on a light meter. If the iPhone 16 is any indication, the 6.1-inch screen ought to be exceptionally readable in bright sunshine.

Action Button:

On paper, the Action button, which debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro, appears helpful. Toggle the flashlight, launch third-party apps, initiate shortcuts, and more can all be done using the Action button customization. However, Apple made a significant mistake in the positioning of their product. It is excessively high, which makes it difficult to use on a daily basis.

Apple limited the Action button’s utility by keeping it in the same place with the iPhone 16 Pro series. The customisation and possibilities of the button are meaningless if it is difficult to access. This is an even bigger issue now since the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max sport larger displays, making them slightly taller than the iPhone 15 Pro series.

Apple Intelligence remains a work in progress:

Even while we have been thrilled by features like Photos Clean Up and some of the writing tools, as exciting as certain Apple Intelligence functions seem, Apple still has a lot of work ahead of it. You will not even be able to use Apple Intelligence if you immediately obtain an iPhone 16. The features won’t appear until October, and then, only as a beta.

It claims a notable improvement in CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine performance and is based on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm fab. In addition, Apple made a big deal out of Apple Intelligence when introducing the iPhone 16 Pro series.

Even with their massive capability, the new iPhones are not the only devices that have access to Apple Intelligence capabilities. Similar to the iPhone 15 Pro series, they handle most AI activities in the cloud and only execute a limited number of them on-device.

Hardware Upgrades:

The only yearly physical improvements seen in Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro series are a faster CPU, a larger display, and thinner bezels. This year’s sole significant addition is the capacitive Camera Control button. However, unless you use your iPhone to capture hundreds of images virtually every week, it will not make a big difference in your workflow.

Similarly, the larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens are welcome improvements but not a necessity today. Plus, Apple isn’t offering new multitasking options on the iPhone 16 Pro Max to take full advantage of its larger 6.9-inch display.

Outlook:

Even while the improvements the iPhone 16 does bring appear well-considered, the phone lineup does not undergo any significant adjustments as a result of it. The new model promises to be an even better phone for those who want to upgrade, with a more advanced camera configuration. Even before we get an opportunity to complete our testing for the iPhone 16, we are confident in that.
