The iPhone has *always* had cheap batteries - but it's getting better.

Apple has released a document titled "EU Energy Label for iPhone and iPad
(EN)" which details its compliance with the new EU regulation 2023/1669,
effective June 20, 2025. This document is the most official source for
Apple's certifications and methodologies for meeting the EU requirements.

Crucially, the iPhone 14 and older models, based on Apple's own published
specifications prior to the iPhone 15, do not officially meet the new EU
requirement of 800 cycles while retaining 80% capacity. The official design
specification for iPhone 14 and earlier models was a crappy 500 cycles,
which is significantly less than the new 800-cycle EU standard.

In addition to the crappy lifetime of all iPhone cheap batteries, Apple
refused to certify an "A" grade the iPhone 15 series and any newer models
released by June 2025) by promising a far-lower quality of "B".

Note: The Apple trolls *hate* Apple so much that they'll deny these facts
simply because they won't read them, and if they do, they can't comprehend
them since Apple never told them in marketing iPhone batteries are crap.

Apple trolls read marketing bullshit - and they defend that bullshit.
