Apple iPhone 15 dropped with Battery Charge Limit Feature.

Curtains for the iPhone 15 series are finally dropped with some exciting features including the presence of a USB Type-C port and the new Apple A17 Bionic built on a 3nm process. On the software front, there are still some features that need clarification. As per 9to5mac the iPhone 15 will offer the ability to limit battery charge to maximize battery health.

The code related to the feature was spotted in the iOS 17 RC. It is a welcome move by Apple if the feature makes its way to the iPhone 15. It will not only help to enhance battery health if you charge your battery overnight.

iPhone 15 Battery Charge Limit Feature Coming

iOS always alerts the user when the battery level hits 100%, but its inability to limit the charge always feels like a bottleneck. With the iPhone 15, the feature will be a boon for users who think of battery health or opt for overnight charging.

The feature is already available on Android and some Laptops. Some Android smartphones even offer Optimized Battery charging, which automatically learns from your charging patterns that enable it to limit the charging for some time, and fills the remaining once your time to unplug nears. Moreover, macOS also offers battery limits via third-party apps, but we’re not sure how effective those utilities are on macOS.

Limiting Full Charge is a tactic that is followed by several companies that slows down the degradation of Lithium Battery cells. Even some experts recommend limiting the battery charge if you always keep the charger plugged in.

The feature compatibility with the older iPhones is not yet confirmed, but chances seem bleak as the feature seems linked to USB Type-C. For actual information, we have to wait for iOS 17 release on September 18 or until we hands-on the iPhone 15 which is set for launch on September 22. There’s no official confirmation about the feature, so take it with a grain of salt.
