I currently have an iPhone 8+. I got it somewhere around late October or early November of 2017, so I’ve had it for about three and a half months.
This morning, it was at a full charge at 7 AM. Now, 3 hours later, it’s at 50%.
I’ll say that I was using it for two out of those three hours, which means that my baby iPhone holds about four hours of charge.
When I first got it, I could use it the whole day (I leave the house at 7 AM and get home at 6 PM) without charging it and come home with about 30% battery left. That’s 11 hours, losing about 7.7% charge/hour (assuming somewhat continual use). Now, in three hours, I lost about 16.7% charge/hour. The rate at which my battery craps out more than doubled in less than four months. That’s pathetic.
Meanwhile, Apple is still using their huge reach to sabotage anyone who grows to rely on their company. They got these new, weird charger ports so they could ramp up the price for headphones, sell a ton of headphone jack transfer thingymabobs, and make using their phones so inconvenient that people were reduced to wasting an extra $160 on cordless earbuds so they could actually charge their phone and listen…
