Looks like cycle count, manufacture date and first use date are all new. I wonder if the information will be accurate for aftermarket batteries?

    It’s so weird to me why they limit this to the 15 series. Older phones clearly have this information (you can get this data with coconutBattery) and having this information is hardly a killer feature that makes people upgrade.

    “Better cameras? Meh. Faster chip? Meh. Titanium? Meh. Battery cycle count in device settings? AH HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP.”

            Ha, if only this screen would show the manufacturing date, right?

            It’s basically brand new, I got it swapped by Apple like two weeks ago.

            The old one was reported at 89% iirc, but it felt a bit worse than that. Not terrible, but the new one is definitely noticeably better. I got the phone like a month or two after launch, so the old battery was like 2 and 1/4 years old.

                As I said in my original comment. Apple simply refuses to display this information on older devices because they don’t want to.

      Totally agree. Some of the software gatekeeping from Apple frustrates the hell out of me because when you’re spending so much on a self professed premium device something as small as battery age shouldn’t be device specific.

    Aftermarket batteries are the same as they were - just a warning, no capacity info.

      It’s a bit strange because I charge it practically every night. I do have it limited to 80%, I don’t know if that would be the difference.

    Can we use any appstore apps to achieve this or are those app limited to what they can display?
