My 11 Pro went from then end of September 2019 until February 2023 until I finally talked Apple into letting me replace the battery at 83% health rating. Pretty sure it would still have been at ≥80% by the time my 15 Pro Max arrived at the beginning of November.

The 15 Pro Max is lasting longer than the 11 Pro with a fresh battery and a Smart Battery Case. Although to be fair, the 15 Pro Max gets charged during the two hours of commuting I do per day at whatever wattage my Civic puts out. But then, so did the 11 Pro.

I’ve gone from 100% to 63% in about 12 hours. Heavy usage on WiFi with LPM and AOD off. This battery will probably make it a solid three years before I’ll need to consider replacement.

I’m hoping to see an updated MagSafe Battery Pack with a shallower wider body, now that there’s no Mini. Then I can just use that as needed and set it to limit charge to 80%. Might make it considerably longer before a battery replacement that way.
