The iOS option to charge battery to "80% Limit" shouldn't just be for iPhone 15

Sure, as long as you don't mind messing up / sacrificing the IP69 waterproof seal integrity.

Ask me how I know *cries softly*.

I actually don't terribly mind that, mainly because in almost 15 years of owning a smartphone I've never dropped one in the water. I feel pretty comfortable not having waterproofing as a result.

Well, I really like a nice bath at the end of the day. Different strokes and all that, more power to you bigstrat.

I guess I'm genuinely surprised someone would even want to bring their phone into the bath. I do enjoy a bath rather than a shower on occasion, but I'm just enjoying the soak all by itself. But hey, like you said, different strokes for different folks. I certainly understand why the waterproofing is a concern for you if you're regularly using your phone over water.

Why does it mess up the seal?

Are you saying Apple doesn’t re-seal it properly?
