    This is a good thing. I kind of wish advertised battery capacity for devices in general was limited to the capacity that lies between 80-20% (being reported in OS as 100-0%) by default, with an opt-in for the user to utilize the full capacity if they wanted. If mandated, I bet it would increase the longevity of devices in a way that would meaningfully decrease e-waste and would encourage manufacturers to either release devices with larger batteries or focus on devices that consume less power (ideally both).

    Nice! I appreciate this small change to let me balance enhanced longevity with getting my full capacity.

    I didn’t even know this was an option before. I’ve had a 15 for just over a month now and the battery is usually around 30-50% at the end of the day, so that sounds good to me! I just changed it.
