    [You] lose 5-10% of the reported battery capacity each year.

    Right in the article. I like how you chose the low end of the estimate and then added “maybe” and then ignored that it’s each year.

      If it was saving you 10% battery life per year, it might be worth it. The other link indicated real world testing was less than 5%.

      “I have four percent more battery at 28 more cycles, and I’m not sure suffering through an 80 percent battery limit for 12 months was ultimately worth it.”

      Will be interesting to see if they follow up with additional years of testing. Might be different on Android than it is on iPhone.
