    In my situation I work from home, so having a battery at 100% capacity is pretty meaningless. The 80% capacity limit also prevents my phone from burning up on the wireless charger, so that’s another plus.

    It’s been a year now and I’m still at 100% battery health. Honestly, with my level of usage I think I could stretch this device for 5-6 years.

      Nice. I’m at 92% health after a year.

      I do use that power most of the time though (I spend way too much time on my phone). I do wish that control were more granular: if I’m charging overnight at home, I want to charge to 100% but if I’m wireless charging in my car I usually want to maintain

      We’ll see if my habits change with this phone. Previously I expected to replace the battery and give it to my teen after 2-3 years. That way we use the phone for the full 5-6 years of supported life, they’re abuse is for only half the life, but we all get updates more frequently and I’m not stuck replacing all phones at the same time. However now they’re college age so they may no longer be content to have a hand me down
