Battery life isn’t necessarily the sexiest thing to think about when
considering all the new capabilities and technologies associated with
Apple’s new iPhone lineup that started shipping and showing up in stores
on Friday. However, the company has revealed in new documentation
that expounds on the battery and performance of the new iPhone 11,
iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max that there are some under-the-hood
upgrades included which users may come to seriously appreciate over
time. Even if they’re not readily apparent at first.

We’re referring to what Apple describes as an all-new built-in
software and hardware system that’s “automatic, always-on” and
constantly working to squeeze the best performance out of the battery as
it inevitably ages and degrades over time. “iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro,
and iPhone 11 Pro Max power needs are dynamically monitored,” the Apple
document notes, “and performance is managed so that it can address these
needs in real-time.
“The system is more advanced than previous iPhone battery and power
management systems and allows your iPhone to reduce performance impacts
from battery aging.”
The hardware/software setup that mitigates battery degradation in the
new iPhone models is a continued step in the direction that was also
evident with similar power-management features Apple added to earlier
models, like the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Nevertheless, it’s important to
remember — and Apple’s new supporting documentation also reiterates —
that all rechargeable batteries are finite and come with a “limited
lifespan.”
“Eventually, their capacity and performance decline so that they need to be replaced,” Apple notes.
To
check on the health of your battery, there’s a simple process to
follow: From the “Settings” menu tap “Battery,” and then “Battery
Health.” If needed, you can contact Apple Support for services options
for help with replacing a battery.
