How to Check Battery Cycle Count on iPhone 15

The health and longevity of your iPhone’s battery are crucial for ensuring a seamless user experience. While iPhone 15 models offer a built-in Battery Health feature, examining the battery cycle count can provide a more detailed insight into your battery’s condition. In this post, I’ll guide you on how to easily determine the battery cycle count of your iPhone 15.

Have you ever wondered how many times your iPhone 15’s battery has been fully drained and charged again? Knowing the battery cycle count offers a reliable way to gauge your device’s battery health.

What is the Battery Cycle Count?

The battery cycle count on an iPhone shows how many times the battery has gone from full to empty. Think of it like a battery’s age. Over time, like many things, batteries get old. For example, if you first use 75% of your battery charge and then recharge it, and later use another 25%, Apple counts this as one battery cycle count.

When a battery is new, it retains about 80% of its efficiency after going from full to empty 500 times. However, its lifespan can vary based on how you use and charge your phone, where you store it, and other factors.
