iPhone 15 can limit battery charge to 80%. Does this mean there’s now battery passthrough? (www.macrumors.com)

I limit my laptop battery charge to 80% with a third party software tool. Laptops can generally bypass the battery and directly power themselves from the wall.

Does this new 80% battery limit setting imply that the new iPhones are able to do the same? Implication would be less battery wear while docked on a desk/in a car or due to long “AAA” gaming sessions, since it will draw power direct from the wall rather than using the battery as a middleman.

I'm guessing this would be more useful for people who keep their phone on a charging cradle all day and all night. A battery staying charged up at 80% is generally happier than a battery staying at 100% for it's life.

Absolutely! I welcome it in any case due to using MagSafe stands throughout the day.

I use CarPlay and this would be a great feature for longer drives.
