FWIW I got a launch iPhone X I gave to my dad with original battery now at 73% health, OLED screen burn in, and a broken charging port (wireless charging still works), and he’s still using it as a daily driver lol.

So while batteries certainly can go subpar faster, they can and do last much longer sometimes.

I also babied it and rarely charged above 80 or fell below 25, which may have played a part but who knows.




Not trying to be rude here. How did the screen burn-in happen?


My dad loves to keep it on max brightness without screen auto lock and leaves the keyboard up. It shows ghost keys on lighter screen images.


Impressive. I didn’t know that was even possible. I am a living set of edge cases and I empathize.
