The battery capacity of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is dropping - what to do?

Owners of the iPhone 15 Pro Max often face an unpleasant issue: over time, the battery capacity of the smartphone decreases, leading to rapid discharging. Of course, this is frustrating as it forces you to constantly look for an outlet to charge the device.

Why does this happen? What should a user do if the battery capacity of the iPhone 15 Pro Max falls? Experts from Avic, a Ukrainian gadget, electronics, and technology store, explain.

Reasons for the drop in battery capacity of the iPhone 15 Pro Max

There are 5 main reasons why the Apple smartphone battery loses its potential.

1. Battery wear over time. Naturally, this is the most common reason for the drop in battery capacity. Over time, the chemical elements in the battery degrade, leading to a decrease in its ability to hold a charge.
2. Intensive phone use. The more you use the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the faster its charging element wears out. This is due to the fact that during intensive use, the battery operates under high loads, leading to overheating and degradation.
3. Exposure to high/low temperatures. Batteries do not like extreme temperatures. Too high or low indicators can negatively impact their capacity and lifespan.
4. Use of non-original chargers. This often leads to battery damage of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Therefore, it is important to use only original Apple chargers or certified accessories.
5. Software issues. These can include errors in the software or malfunctioning of certain programs.

Remember! By following simple rules, you can slow down the process of wear and tear on the iPhone 15 Pro Max battery and extend its lifespan.

Signs of declining battery capacity of the iPhone 15 Pro Max

So, if you notice the following, it may be a signal that it’s time to consider replacing the battery.

1. Rapid discharge of the phone. If the iPhone 15 Pro Max discharges significantly faster than usual, this may be a sign that its battery capacity has decreased.
2. Phone shutting down at low charge. If this happens even when the battery charge hasn’t reached 0%, it means the battery can no longer provide sufficient power.
3. Poor performance in battery tests. In the Settings menu > Battery > Battery Health, you can see how much remains from the battery's original capacity. If this indicator is lower than 80%, the Apple smartphone’s battery is degraded.

What to do in this situation?

For the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the following measures can be lifesavers.

1. Change your usage mode.
2. Reduce screen brightness.
3. Turn off background apps.
4. Use battery saver mode.
5. Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
6. Update the software to the latest version of iOS.

If none of the above helps, it’s likely that the iPhone's battery is worn out and needs replacement. This can be done at an authorized Apple service center, where you will receive an original component.

Additionally, to extend the battery life, try not to discharge the phone to 0%, avoid overheating, use original chargers, and regularly reboot the 15 Pro Max.
