I bought my new SE a year and a half ago, and recent checked showed peak battery at 99 percent. I don't know why there should be such a difference. Of course, our phone habits might be different. I talk as much as I want to, sometimes several hours a day, ask Siri for a lot of information, do some texting and rare emailing on it. Two hours each day, I do a tinnitus treatment program using Bluetooth. The only reason I'm saying all of this is to get some kind of idea about battery. My SE is a 32 gb.
Best regards, Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Vicky Collins Sent: Monday, September 30, 2019 1:49 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: iPhone SE battery As you can tell, I do tend to switch iPhone's from time to time, but haven't yet ventured into trying the ones with face ID. But, my question here is, is it worth me giving my old iPhone SE to my sister, or am I doing her a disservice in the end because of the lower battery capacity? Anyway, since my sighted sister is using a four-year-old $19 pay as you go phone from AT&T, a 3G phone where she can no longer get a signal in her house in the rural area where we live, I purchased a used iPhone 7 from one of the blindness lists , thinking to give it to her. However, grin, I made the mistake of giving her the choice between my iPhone SE and the 7, and she preferred the smaller SE. I haven't yet given her the phone because she is on my brother's account, and he needs to go to the AT&T store here to get her the new SIM card for the phone, since the phone she has now takes a micro SIM. I did, though, confirm that the phone would indeed work at her house. And, just before I reset the phone to factory defaults, I checked its battery health, and the maximum capacity given for that phone was 81 percent. It did say that the battery was supporting normal peak performance. As I've mentioned previously, my source of internet right now is via personal hotspot, my choice as I'm not yet ready to leave AT&T, and I guess it didn't do the battery on the SE any good. I purchased the phone new from Amazon a little over a year ago, so guess I'll have to watch my battery care a bit better with my future phones. As a side note for anyone still reading, I did go to AT&T store a while back and get a SIM card for a second line for myself. With my AT&T Unlimited and more Premium plan, we discussed both the second line or adding some sort of wireless hotspot device to my one-line plan. If memory serves, the rep told me that, if I were to choose the wireless device, I would get 50 GB of data, a home phone number but I wouldn't necessarily have to use it, and I could either pay the $200 for the hotspot device, or I could pay it off in monthly payments. So, since I already had a second iPhone, I just opted for the second line with its additional 15 GB of mobile hotspot. And, of course, I can just cancel this second line at any time. Oh, one more side note, even though I can use the hotspot on my Nokia 6 to backup my iPhones to iCloud here at my apartment, I still can't use this same feature on one iPhone to backup the other, even though each iPhone has its own SIM card now, something about poor network conditions. Wonder if I should've gotten that wireless device instead, and why the Nokia will let me backup with the hotspot feature while the iPhone won't? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
