With the introduction of iOS 18, Apple now enables you to view the battery cycle count of your iPhone 16 directly, as part of its built-in features, along with the maximum capacity percentage. Given that battery lifespan remains a top concern for iPhone users, Apple provides iPhone 16 users enhanced insight into the health of their devices.

Apple states that the battery in the iPhone 16 is crafted to outlast that of older models. The company claims the iPhone 16 can endure at least 1,000 full charging cycles while maintaining up to 80% of its original capacity, which is double the performance of previous iPhones that could only sustain 500 cycles.

Although Apple has not elaborated on the specifics of this enhancement, it likely relates to the broadened battery health settings. Users of the iPhone 16 can now activate charging optimization features, including a limit that caps charging at 80% to mitigate battery deterioration over time. The decision to utilize these options is contingent on individual charging habits, as they carry both advantages and disadvantages.
