The upcoming battery health recalibration in iOS 14.5 may not seem like a big deal, but experts say it could actually improve your phone's battery performance.
How to make your iPhone battery last longer?
One of the many changes announced with the upcoming release of iOS 14.5 is a fix for the incorrectly calibrated battery health in iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max devices. With the latest iOS 14.5 beta now available to the public, some users have reported improvements to the percentage of their battery capacity since installing the update.
While it may not seem like a major issue to fix, the health of your battery plays a huge role in the lifespan and overall performance of your smartphone.
“The battery health percentage is tied to two things: the maximum capacity of your iPhone’s battery and Peak Performance Capability, which indicates whether the operating system will throttle your phone’s performance to prevent shutdowns,” Radu Vrabie, the founder of Power Bank Expert, explained to Lifewire in an email.
