Everyones talking about batteries like they're something special? Apple don't use any better (or worse) batteries than anyone else. Like everyone else its a terrible flawed and dated technology that can't really seem to keep up. There is so much **** on the internet about batteries etc... With the type of battery used by 99% of companies today (Li-Pol/Li-Ion) built by probably broadly the same underlying company. You are technically limited to a thousand or so cycles, or 2-3 years (all very approx). But they have a cycle and date shelf life used or not. Best advice as with laptops etc... keep as cold as sensibly possibly (no freezers please) leave at around 40% charge for storage (not full or empty basically). Or most of all just remember that its going to die anyway give up trying to nurture it and just use and abuse it, its pretty much what i do
No one phone company or laptop manufacture is "better" at making batteries last longer or age slower than any other. They all probably use the same common few large scale manufactures... |
