Hi,
It is put forward that a Macbook has a limited charge cycle (e.g. 1000) before the lithium-ion battery loses it's optimized effectiveness. To prolong the life of Macbook batteries we must recharge and minimize drainage whenever possible.
An iPhone uses lithium-ion batteries too if I am not mistaken. Within the lifespan of my iPhone I estimate that I may have used over 1,000 cycles. Yet the battery seems perfectly fine still to me.
My concern is after 1,000 cycles on my Macbook, the battery might significantly diminish in energy storage. However, after reflecting on my iPhone, if my Macbook remains the same as my iPhone in terms its ability not to drain a battery too quickly then I wouldn't care too much recharging it all the time. Thus, defying it's purpose of being a portable device.
My question is- Is it fair to compare an iPhone with a Macbook battery like that?
