iOS 17.4 Gives You More Battery Health Data
Keeping your iPhone’s battery in tip-top shape doesn’t have to be a hassle, especially if you install iOS 17.4.
The new software update brings new information about your battery and your iPhone. If you go to Battery Health — previously called Battery Health & Charging — you can see your battery health status, how many battery cycles you’ve done, and even the first time your iPhone was used.
Unfortunately, this change is only available on the iPhone 15 lineup. If you have an older model, you’ll still have the regular Battery Health & Charging settings.
The good news for iPhone 15 users is that Apple has confirmed that the battery on the latest models is working better than expected.
