Yes I do
Does Smart charging works while the phone is automatically off ?
Willbit hurt the phone in that case ?
I am 81 yrs old and I am finding your videos absolutely invaluable and really well explained. Usually when I Google a problem l don’t understand the answer .
You're a credit to your generation. My grandparents won't even try to learn new technology, let alone actively seek out information. Hope I'm as savvy as yourself when I hit my golden years.
Truth
At least you "Google" grandpa. Let alone my Grandparents, not even my Parents try to search for information themselves. They'll ask me everytime any minutest problem occurs.
Lol
Oh wow I like seeing old people and stuff
I’ve watched TONS of videos about battery life since I’ve got my first iPhone about a month ago, and this one’s my favorite so far! I just love how he explains is so calmly without sounding like a know-it-all, and I really appreciate the allusions as examples 😊
I'm in the same position as you were a month ago, I bought my first ever iPhone, apple watch and beats ear buds and now I'm here watching videos on an android phone obsessing about the battery of my devices trying to find as much information as possible that helps me to give them a good life ugh
I don't think you need any special way to charge. Just plug it in overnight.
Do you mean analogies instead of allusions?
Gotta keep an eye on these things with iPhone cuz it can end with your battery being depleted quicker than you expected.
Im not so sure if you charge your phone with your car 12 volt.
Its dc and does not communicate with your phone. It will push and thus overcharge.
Thank you from a 78 yr old , digitally challenged lady!
A year after purchasing iPhone 13, this is the best video I’ve seen about it. Helpful and clear with no zingo. I’m folllowing you Asana subscriber.
Few additional things:
a. Turn off background app refresh as it is constantly refreshing and draining battery
b. Change your mail settings to fetch rather than push, and then select once an hour
c. Turn off automatic time zone setting as it is constantly checking
d. Clear your Safari cache once a week , improves performance speed
e. When battery finally gets to around 85 percent swap it out…Apple will replace it in the store for $69
@BeetleFartMedia why
Swapping battery at 85% is really unnecessary. I’ve used good no. Of iPhones myself and family, generally i can use an iphone on an average of 4-5 years and battery dropping to 71% by the max that i’ve seen. And then sell it for dirt cheap.
So turn on low power mode basically?
An appointment is necessary so I discovered.
This is true, my friend was going to upgrade his iphone12, but i changed his settings and his phone last more than 8hrs per day now, he couldnt believe it 🤣
Thank you for this explanation. All this time I was fooled by some channels saying can not charge iphone or other smartphones overnight because it is feared to overcharge and damage the battery performance so when outside I had to find a place to charge because there is not enough precentige on my iphone.
I recently had to contact Apple Support and during the conversation the girl asked about my charging habits. She confidently stated that "charging overnight" was just soooo terrible. I wanted to tell her how this has been debunked by you and others, but I just left comments in the after call email that asked me to rate the agent. Funny how some myths just never die. Thanks so much for your videos! Great stuff!
There was a time I worked in a fruit shop and a few times I had to tell my co-workers that force quitting apps was a factoid and if anything customers should be told that they should never force quit an app unless the app is not functoning as expected. Force quitting wastes battery power.
"Using low power mode is like buying a Porche & installing a limiter to stop it going over 20mph" Classic 🤣
I really enjoyed this no-nonsense video clip, giving out information in a straight-forward way with none of the gimmicks that other YT channelers so often use (like the two techies who continually complete each others sentences and really get on my nerves). Shared this on Twitter. Thanks PHT.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you're finding the content helpful!
@@ProperHonestTech I have the I phone 11 since it came out in 2019 battery health is at 94 percent now people go on about only being a lcd screen most people won’t notice it anyway do what’s on my I phone video
Is that david and david from payette forward the most cringe channel on youtube
RUclips has its place...
I just got my second iPhone a iPhone 13, and I love it! My first was the iPhone 7s plus I had that one until it quit working lol the front facing camera went out and then the speaker went out lol I had it about 6 years! I noticed major differences when I upgraded to the 13! I love it!! The faster charging is a plus and wireless charging too.
You are so clear and concise in your tutorials. Thank you. I charge my phone when I go to bed. I wondered what that “optimized charging” notation was about. Thanks.
This video automatically started playing after I was looking for a back button video. It is so useful. I’m always closing apps to save on battery and then having to open them all again. Your explanation was so simple and I can’t believe how much time I’ve wasted swiping up for nothing, especially when I struggle to swipe up to shut down for some strange reason. So many other great explanations too. Thank you so much.
I’ve just left Android but still not sure if I made the correct choice. There’s no paste folder with several paste memories. I have to stretch to top left corner to go back, or other variations depending on the app, unlike a simple task bar along the bottom with back, close etc on android. And a keyboard where you have to tap left or space bar to go to numbers and most used symbols unlike Android all on the same default keyboard. Their are other things too but I just need to get used to it. Thanks again.
Thank you for your clear and easy to listen to and understanding info! My IPhone is an XR and I’m just now figuring out many of its features(I’m old not so tech savvy) I cannot afford a new iPhone and probably would be frustrated anyway trying to learn a new phone all over again. Thank you again for your useful info!
I love this guy’s voice! Very calming, not boring, but soothing. He should make sleep or relaxation videos in which he just talks for a few hours.
Fact
I just got my first iPhone two days ago and this video has helped me a lot about some few things of how I should take care of it, Thanksa lot for this.
if you use a Chargie device for your overnight charging sessions, it will stop charging at whatever % you like and will limit heat-induced damage to your battery by not letting it charge at full speed. Chargie also features a delayed charging function that you can use so that the phone does not stay at high states of charge for long - it tops just before you wake up.
Fantastic I now understand more about the rules of battery charging and how to take care of our iPhone /iPad now. Informing us in basic language rather in technical terms. Thank you!
At last someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. Well done!
finally a channel about iPhone stuff I haven't disabled from my feed
…… agreed , and in plain understandable language too .
Just found your you tube channel and I am really impressed! Your information is explained in a non technical way where you can understand the reason behind these myths and other issue related to the phone. Love the examples you give with your explanations in lay man’s terms! Definitely clicked to subscribe!
A very informative video on modern batteries, thank your removing the myths, I will be sharing this with all my friends. I really liked your presentation style. Looking forward to viewing our previous content on the channel.
Well I’ve learnt something today. Thanks for the great tip re charging the iPhone battery. I’ve just learned that my Max Cap is 84% I’m constantly using my mobile mainly for FB and sending texts. Today I also learned how to close down certain features.
The technique of charging your device when it’s switched off, makes a huge difference in my experience. I have a very well used iPad c 6 years old & when I charge it while switched on, it barely holds the charge…let alone boosts it, but when I turn it off before charging, it charges quite quickly….albeit runs down again quickly, if I don’t keep it powered. I have a fairly new iPhone, so based on this video, I plan to get into the habit of turning that off too….at an appropriate time of day when I’m not expecting calls. Thanks again for a helpful video :- )
But don’t Apple products turn on automatically when being charged? Whenever I power off my devices and plug them in, they just turn back on. When I had a slide phone and other old phone a few years back, they actually stayed off and charged while off, but not my iPhones.
@@amosdraak3536 pretty sure newer iphones auto turn on when you charge
@@CamCB
Thanks, Sir.
I agree with everything you said except for the part that you can leave your phone overnight ie. Charging to 100%. I understand that most consumers will replace their device every 2 years, so the extra life cycles don't really matter. But charging your phone to, let's say 85-90% instead of 100%, can increase your discharge cycle from 300-500 to 600-1000, essentially doubling the lifespan of your battery. If you want more discharge cycles, avoid fully charging/discharging your device.
Proof: trust me bro
@@hazewannaworld6052 😂
Tim Cook himself said this is true and he said the closer you can keep your phone to 50% charge the better, I usually charge to 90% or so and recharge at 35%
My iPhone battery is down to 84% capacity. I now turn off wifi but leave on cellular connection when I go to bed to extend battery life a bit. I don't surf the web while sleeping.
@@hermancmthen he introduced standby that keeps your phone at 100% all the time. When my phone gets to 80% I just pay Apple to swap the battery and put new seal in too.
It’s been a good few years since I’ve looked into the iPhone battery facts. This is superb. Everything explained in a layman. Good job.
What a great video. Comprehensive and to the point. Presented in a very pleasant “No nonsense”manner. Thank you.
Just made the switch to iPhone so finding your channel very useful! I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the battery life is phenomenal compared to recent Samsung phones! I have Z Fold 3 that will be out of battery by mid afternoon whereas the lowest it has been on the iPhone is 30% on a heavy use day.
Glad you're finding the channel helpful! I've not had a chance to play around with the fold phones, but I can imagine that battery life is proving challenging for them, as they're essentially having to split the battery out over two foldable parts, versus one giant slab of a battery that you get in the Pro Max!
Yes the battery is so amazing I have the 13 promax and it is phenomenal
the folds always had really bad battery life. the regular flagships have better battery life, especially if you disable the 120hz feature.
@@ReyaadGafur I’ve had various Samsung flagships & none got me through the day without needing a charge but I’m heavy user. That’s said I have never worn down my 13 ProMax even after taking a lot a videos whilst at a concert last night, it still had 15% left when it went on charge.
Fakest comment in here
Your videos are wonderful. You are clear & concise. I’m so glad you speak slowly enough that I can follow your directions if you are giving them. Now I’m looking at your channel to see if you give info on iwatch! Thank you.
I’ve watched TONS of videos about battery life since I’ve got my first iPhone about a month ago, and this one’s my favorite so far! I just love how he explains is so calmly without sounding like a know-it-all, and I really appreciate the allusions as examples
Why did you just copied and pasted @momokat4082's comment from a year ago, same text, look up 5 posts above you.
Love your content. Most logically organized, no bs information always. Keep it up.
I agree with everything that is discussed here. One point that really was not talked about was holding the max charge at 80%. I’ve heard from others that lithium ion batteries prefer to be kept below 80% to increase life. My new EV car even says it’s best to keep the charge level below 80% to maximize battery life.
That would be nice to know I usually charge mine on a fan throughout the daywhen it gets near 90
80% used to be true. It still is. But a modern device already handles it by reporting 100% and stopping charging - when the battery in fact is only at 80-85 %
The user interface lies to keep it simpler for us. And there is still plenty of power left on the battery after the phone tells you it's at 0% and shuts down.
@@stesve2007 That's not true. If this was the case then iPhones and Pixels wouldn't have the feature of overnight charging until 80% and topping off to 100% right before you wake up. Phone manufacturers are not investing millions in battery tech to cram as big a battery as possible in your phone just to cut it by 20%. 1 or 2% maybe, but never 15-20%.
@@francisjohnny4556 That would be like printer manufactures selling you those tubes of ink you can refill yourself without spending those outrageous prices of a new cartridge.
The only problem is the refills don't top up 100% your empty cartridge.. This one just happens to be true. Reason is simple enough. Printer manufactures want you back in the store to pay huge prices often
@@Tech-geeky I don't get how your described situation with printers relates to what I said.
So informative in a easy to understand format and greatly appreciated. I learned several new things about my iPhone that I didn’t know. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad you fell into my recommended feed. I’ve been searching RUclips for phone tutorials to better use my upgraded phone. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for this great video. It's nice to get rid of the myths, and to learn how "smart" the device actually is.
I always wondered Why it takes so much less time to charge up to 50% then 50% to 100% when you fast charge but you completely answered my question
If Apple is smart enough to cram so much into a pocket sized phone, it is certainly smart enough to hear all the complaints about phone performance over the years and fix their phones. Thus, the old “urban myths” disappear, and the phones can be used however you want without worrying, just as this video says.
Now, If Apple could fix the never ending problem of commenters using facebook style abbreviations, or worse, making up new abbreviations. People, STOP IT, Stop being lazy and spell out your words if you want us to understand what you’re saying. Now, get off of my lawn!
Good video and dispels a lot of myths! I usually change phones when my battery won’t hold a charge anymore. I have an 8 and my battery health is good! I did have optimum charging turned on! Probably will get a new one soon but am considering switching providers as mine is not satisfactory!
Excellent analogies. Really helpful information. Thanks!
You are so good! Thank you, thank you for your simple explanations. This senior citizen appreciates you and have replayed to learn many things!
Love this.
Plenty of videos on this subject, but this one was straight away, and clear. Plus it’s what was first suggested. Top class! 👍🏾
So glad to have found you! Someone capable of explanations that the 'tech challenged' ... that's me, can understand and implement. Thankyou.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed the way you explained everything.
YOur explanations are concise, to the point and the examples very realistic. YOur delivery is calm and clear. Thank you for this most informative video!
You can also charge on lower power mode to charge faster too without having to turn it off, but after 80% it automatically charges on regular mode, so you can either keep it on low power mode, or just leave it alone until 100%. Try low power mode charge from 20-80% you'll see the difference. In terms of heat if you can take off your case when charging to reduce heat.
Damn I actually thought it was the opposite I always turn off low power mode when I charge my phone because for some reason I thought that it would charge slower with it on haha
so far my battery health is 91% on my iPhone 11 and it was 1 year and 5 month old. so far so good
thanks for your very informative video Sir. keep it up
bro u are so good at explaining, your analogys as examples are what make me like your videos more than others, it helps the average non techy user to understand these kinds of things, thank you very much
This was pretty informative. I learned a lot from this video. I charge my phone usually at night when I am asleep. I will plug the phone in when I go to bed. Thank you.
First of all, good thing you're making a video about this. Secondly, I wanna go over some things you mentioned. So, these things don't only apply to iphones they apply to all smartphones but also many tech products like laptops, etc. The charging overnight is definitely bad if the device does not have optimized charging. The reason why is because it will reach 100% stop charging fall to 99% and charge up again to 100% and back and forth. That isn't good for the battery. Next while yes, the batteries are getting better at being customized to our needs is generally better not to let it discharge completely. While it doesn't have major effects on the short term it does affect long term battery life. Extensive full depletion is harmful and is the reason why most phones left aside for long periods while completely discharged have deteriorated bettery life when picked up again.
I got the iPhone 13 promax when it launched a year ago because my iPhone 11 was stuck in a boot loop and the back panel was cracked and I’ve been trying to keep this one in pristine condition and the phone literally looks brand new to people which is a huge compliment, but I’ve been trying to try out new things with my iPhone to keep the battery life nice and the overall phone health nice so i appreciate these types of videos! 👍🏼
Thank you for this video, very useful and informative as all of your videos seem to be. One question I have is around wireless charging. Given a battery’s sensitivity to heat buildup why is it a good idea to charge your phone wirelessly as opposed to using a wire? I once charged my phone in my brother in law’s Tesla and when he handed it to me after spending some time on the charging pad it was ridiculously hot! I concluded at the time that this didn’t seem to me to be the best way to get a charge in the battery. I understand the desire for less clutter from wires but at what cost?
An excellent tutorial, presented at a perfect speed to ensure my brain can absorb it as you speak. Props to you, Proper Honest Tech!
I found your channel to be so informative, and I am very grateful for it. By the way, I charge my phone nightly, regardless of how much power is left on the battery.
Closing apps in background- another great tip. I love the little kpad on my iPad for many reasons. Thank you again from iPad video
Thank you for the clear explanations and the simple analogies for us non-techies💙
I love your channel! This video was very useful. To answer your question near the end of the video… I have the iPhone 13 and I charge my phone every 2 days. I have the usb-c cable and the 20w block. It charges very quickly but the battery still lasts me a good 48 hours 😊
i just got my first iphone yesterday and your explanation is very clear! love it!
What a great video - it answered so many nagging questions for me. Plus I learned about the battery health level being available. Thank you!
Love the analogies you use and the level of relevant, helpful detail in your explanations!♥️
6:06 I agree, charging your phone with powered off is much faster but the only reason why I prefer with Airplane mode is so that I can see my battery percentage. I'm just really conscious on the battery percentage
I don't get how it is possible to charge you iPhone while it is switched off. If I do turn my phone off and then connect it to a charger, either wireless or wired, the phone will turn itself back on when the charging starts. Am I missing something here??
@@JemTheWire I think it should be opposite, after you connect it to a charger, then you should turn it off, it's kinda hustle tbh.
Turn off charging is much more slower method to charge iPhones, cause iOS cannot calculate how much energy comes in. With that it chooses the slowest way for safety.
@@yenersuzal1089 Yeah unfortunately it can't calculate it'd just be blank, I think turn off charging is the fastest of all but probably not safe for charging because you're not looking at what percentage.
How I understood the thin with fully discharge the phone before you charge it up again is that it’s not due to the battery not being able to handle it. The main logic is that the plug on your phone has a certain lifespan before it becomes older and eventually doesn’t work again. So the idea behind it is that you don’t charge your phone all the time so the plug isn’t being overused. A workaround this problem is charging your phone without a cable (newer iPhones are able to do that).
I think you're (1) wise, (2) smart, (3) very well informed, (4) clear, (5) and a good communicator. And you're not - arrogant. That's surprising. I enjoy listening to very bright, articulate people. Thanks for the time.
Very interesting and clearly explained.
Not strictly battery related, but I have had a problem with the conflict between a weak mobile signal and wi fi calling. My IPhone will always prefer the weak mobile signal, which leads to many frustrations. Lately, I have discovered that if I switch to airplane mode, but turn wi fi back on all calls will be routed through wi fi, including WhatsApp. This has made life much easier and I hope this is useful.
Thanks for all the good advice. However, I spend a lot of time in remote areas and need to charge from a 12v system, either in a vehicle or from an inverter in camp. My question is, how important is it to use a "pure sine wave inverter" as opposed to just an inverter.
The output of your phone charger outputs a DC voltage. And it either puts out the right voltage or nothing at all. So as long as your phone starts charging it will be fine for your battery. The only thing that could be suffering is the charger itself.
Man you have my exact dream setup, those genelecs are looking amazing
Just discovered your channel. Excellent simple explanations. Well done and thank you. Subscribed! 👍👍
I don't use my iPhone a lot, so I only charge every 2-3 days. I also have an iPad, going to check the settings on that as well. I love both these devices. My experience with cell phones goes all the way back to the very first Blackberries. I did love the keyboards on those. I still find touchscreen typing a bit awkward, especially when using a foreign language that doesn't have predictive typing. Lots of typos!
Swipe down.
Select rotate.
Turn phone to landscape.
😊
What foreign language doesn’t have predictive text? As long as you have that language’s keyboard installed, it should do predictive text in that language too. I have five keyboards installed and just toggle back and forth between them as needed.

Yet another informative, helpful video presented in a calm and soothing manner. So important to us oldies 😊
Thank you for educating me in this area. Very informative. Well done.
Very good and valuable. I have one small comment. More apps generally increase cpu utilization which may shorten battery life. But I hasten to add that the degree of utilization is highly dependent upon the particular app(s) involved. Many apps lie dormant when not in use, or only periodically consume cycles when the "wake up" such as time or event driven architecture.
A nice to have would be to show average utilization for both processor and disk resources, but I guess many people would not benefit if they are not very familiar with what they mean.
Actually more apps increase CPU utilization is not completely true. App are suspended when not the current active app and use no CPU. The exception is apps that you have allowed to run in the background.
@@juliejones8785 Actually, it's even more complicated. I simplified for most folks to understand. CPU utilization is a function of application Styles (eg.. Locality of reference), dispatch priority, Application mix, goal priorities, and finally the availability of RAM and I/O saturation.
@@jaycohen3884 Very true for running apps, but I was keeping it simple and just commenting on the effect of non-active apps.
Beginner Apple user here, thank you for this useful information! About the "using phone while charging" thing, the usage here can range from simply operating through os to something more extreme like playing mobile games or using camera, which takes a lot of performance out of phone and could often generate lots of heat, and since charging also generates heat this could be bad for the battery health. I often get warning message from phone system if the phone gets too hot and it automatically close other background apps. So while it's okay to use phone while charging , I guess using it moderately is a good precaution?
Lol what in the hell.. you get the phone too hot warning while using your phone? Do you have an iPhone 4s and are you playing mobile games 24/7? I only get that error when I’m playing outside and leave my phone on the ground
@@zureai I think he's talking about using the phone while charging, not on a normal usage. The topic of the video is about how to "correctly" charging the iPhone to preserve its battery longevity. Since charging caused heat, the tip to refrain from using the phone while charging (to stop it from using extra energy that leads to more heat) has been circulating, which PHT tackles in the video: it's fine to use your phone while it's charging.
However, I think A Tofu also got a point here, while using the phone as it's charging fine, heavy duty tasks (gaming, filming, etc) might hinder charging progress and push the battery further to perform under significant heat-which as PHT stated is the main thing to avoid if we want to preserve the battery longevity as much as possible. :)
@@zureai Stella gave you a polite response. I'm going to give you back in kind to your s-post: alright wiseguy, let me make this crystal clear for you, coming from an iPhone 13 pro max 1tb (yeah, bucko, I'm flexing) and I'm telling you, right now, that Genshin, Counter:Side, ToF (not quite as bad), and Nikke all make the phone get toasty. I have personally seen a phone heat warning one time whilst on Counter:Side plugged in.
So eat your sarcasm, mate.
@@Stalinfalcon Well if you can’t read my response.. it sounds like you mobile game 24/7 so that’s why bucko
@JAE3K Lol, not on an ancient rig smarty pants, read your own sentence.
Brilliant. Clear and I can check my own usage as I went along. Thank you.
its already 2023 (2022 for the video at least) but people still do not understand why "do not leave your phone charging overnight!" is not about the overcharging aspect, but the fact that the ba ttery health or charge cycles diminished when battery is charge aways at full capacity (typical 100% is above 4.2volts), let alone charge or left charge at full capacity overnight. that is why its often can be adviced on some battery-research publications that battery should have a charge between 20%-80% OFCOURSE this does not matter if you change phone every year.
Thank you for this. It was thorough, concise and realistic. At the end of the day, our devices should be able to adapt to our lifestyle needs and it gives peace of mind knowing that our, often very spendy and necessary, phones can handle our needs!
Agree. Thank you, too, from a new iPhone user.
It does make sense that opening up an app each time instead of leaving it open would use more power. Thanks for that tip and also the one about battery health/ max capacity. Mine is at 86% so I guess I should begin looking for my next one soon.
@Seaworth I didn't get a new one because as a phone, it still works...
@Seaworth ofc they did....??? why would we buy a new phone each year if the one we have still works well enough???
that's just wasting money ??
@Seaworth brat
@@seaworth3382 my iPhone XS got it on release day the battery health is at 79%
Thank you for correcting many misconceptions about battery care I've always believed.
Very informative! So many myths uncovered and the actual truth revealed in a very objective way.
The overcharging myth I used to believe and I was always afraid I’m damaging my phone but then one day I was using my phone while charging and it got pretty hot as a result. I left it to charge but it was getting progressively hotter the more it was staying plugged in the charger. However the second it was full it started cooling off and that’s when I saw that I was being worried for no reason.
That was a "flaw" in apple design (the hotter the phone the shorter battery lifespan), they lost a lawsuit regarding battery problems.
Apple Batterygate Settlement amount
Depending on the number of claims submitted, Apple will pay a minimum, non-reversionary payment of $310,000,000 and a maximum payment of up to $500,000,000 under the proposed settlement.18 oct 2022
Yup started to change up my charging habits,
Was really scared of using my fast charger cause my phone would warm up
But then I would notice right around 60 or 70 percent it would just cool off to normal.
By iPhone 13pro health is at 99 which isn’t as great as yours and i feel like that might be because I use it as my maps when I drive and the heat from that sort of kills it (I learned to just turn off the screen while driving when I know which street to take, as well as have it near the ac vent so it keeps the phone cool)
Also, that low power mode is no joke, a week ago we had electrical maintenance for a day.
I used it after charging my phone to 90 and keep it alive for the rest of the day, the next day I still had over 80 percent battery, really helpful feature
Battery health feature is total bullshit and it's not correct
Fantastic video. Really helped me with a lot of information. Keep up with the good work !
Thank you for this info! ❤
In regards of the apps in the background not using up more energy, this might not be true with all of them. I had a new iPad and it suddenly started overheating, as well as losing battery, even when I wasn’t using it. I didn’t understand what was going on (and neither did the Apple tech guy). Took me a while but I discovered it was Apple Arcade, I got a free subscription and was trying it out, leaving it “on” when I wasn’t using it… Once I quit it after using, no more overheating :)
This is so useful. I’ve recently upgraded my iphone 12 pro max to iphone 13 pro max and the battery performance substantially differ. I want this phone to last longer than my previous one so this video helps a lot this since Apple’s main weak point is the battery health over the years. Good to know that all the habits I have when it comes to charging my phone are so far not damaging it 😊
Why did you go for the 13? Is very similar to the 12. I'll wait for next year iphone 15 and then trade in my 12. I'm just curious of your reasoning...

By waiting a bit longer you could get the iPhone 14s.
@@Richa_cute yes, but I don't regret it. I prefer the color green. It's my favorite 🤩 And the only difference of 13 and 14 is just the dynamic island. Which is not a big deal for me
Excellent..thanks…these devices we now use would be impossible without videos like your’s…thanks so much ☺️
Great and clear and concise yet thorough. Much appreciated!
PHT - fantastic info and presentation. I have watched about 20 of your very helpful videos and I think they are the best because of the info covered and the way you present! Thanks for all the help and keep up the good work!!
Had my iPhone 13 Pro since day 1 (so about 7 months) and Battery Health is still on 100%. I generally charge overnight and it lasts all day on that charge. Very happy with the battery compared to every other iPhone I've owned.
So you only charge it once and every night? I want to keep my battery health at 100% for as long as I can
@@emmeau Yes, I charge my iPhone 13 Pro overnight using the ‘Optimised Battery Charging’ mode switched on and it lasts all day. If I am going out early for a long day of heavy use I take my £20 ‘Battery Case’ just in case it runs low but it is rarely used even on heavy days. I would like to add that the reason my battery is still on 100% after 7-8 months is not because it hasn’t degraded but because of the way Apple reports this. Batteries vary in their initial capacity so Apple states the minimum that the Battery could be when new. My battery was obviously well over that minimum and so Apple will report it as 100% until it has degraded to lower than that minimum. Still great for resale though.
@@djalice I had mine for 6 months till I notice it was on 98% are you saying some don’t come fully at 100%? Thank you for replying
@@emmeau So, the advertised battery for the iPhone 13 Pro is 3095 mAh. They can’t make batteries with precise mAh so that 3095 mAh is the minimum your battery will be. If you get a new iPhone with exactly 3095 mAh you will probably see it’s health percentage drop off slightly under 100% after a month or so. Most iPhones will come with a larger mAh capacity but Apple doesn’t report this as 120% Battery Health or whatever. They just report it at 100% until it degrades to less than 3095 mAh. My iPhone is still at 100% after 8 months so it probably came with a 4500+ mAh battery and has degraded to 4050 mAh or whatever. I will see its reported percentage degrade once it dips under Apple’s minimum reported 3095 mAh which could be next week or in 6 months time depending on how lucky I was in getting a larger capacity (than advertised battery). Hope that’s clear. Your battery is doing pretty well after 6 months use and only dropping 2%!
@@djalice do you have any advice as to how often and when to charge your phone ? If there’s a right way I guess so there’s less damage to the battery
Thanks for the information.
Very informative! Thank you!
Since I bought my very first iPhone (5 versions ago) I made sure I had a case that is a power bank and protects at the same time (like a Mophie or Alpatronix) -- so when you charge one it tops off both. I think that is worth a mention.
How heavy is the case tho? I’d like to consider one but hate how heavy my phone can get. Tbh the iPhone is already getting heavier and heavier.
The cases are not good because the excess heat cannot be dissipated as calculated by the engineers.
What is the implied advantage? It’s a heavier/larger case and probably insulates/heats the phone, degrading the battery. If you need to use the phone longer than a charge would support, and have no access to a charger, and don’t want to carry a bank/cable, that’s fine. But it’s a pretty specialized need.
Great video! Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone but I found this very interesting and your voice is very calming!
Just found this video…so very informative and I learned a lot about charging…thank you so much …🙂
This is extremely useful. I had those myths before I saw your video. Thank you
Sense I got my iPhone 6s I looked on the chemical aging of lithium battery’s a lot more. You definitely want to keep it at between 80-20% is a general average for the battery. However is you want to keep at its best I’d try to keep it between 50-80%. That way the battery’s don’t have much stress from lower voltage. Still tho if you do a good job on keeping your iPhone between 80-20% your battery should last a lot longer!
Iphone 7plus here, i just charge it overnight, every night. Still working and has 10GB of memory left.
@@sct4040 wtf does memory have to do with battery?
Great video. Very informative, thanks for clearing up most of these long age battery myths.
I only charge my phone when it drops to 20%, and I disconnect it when it reaches approximately 85 to 95%. Because of this, my battery health remains at 100%.
Love your vids! I charge my iPhone differently all the time. If it gets low, I charge it at home. When I drive, I usually use "Maps" to guide me and I'm charging and using at the same time! I have an iPhone 12, 3 years old and the battery health is at 96%.
Love your explanation so much info but very user friendly.
One of the ways I have found to maintain 100% battery health is to start the day with a fully charged phone and then continually top it up, if need be throughout the day. I try not to let it ever drop below 70%. After a bit over a year with my 13 Mini, I’m still at 100 health. Point of clarification: You need to power down your iPhone or iPad after it’s already been plugged in for charging. If you power down first and then plug in, your iOS device will automatically reboot and power on.
Hi, got a question for your since I got the same 13 mini. Which charger do you use? or, how do you charge it? I only have the 20w charger but saw on different videos that constatly using this fast charger will damage my battery life. Do you think connecting the usb-c to the Mac may cause less damage? Here in Argentina I don't have the chance to get a 5w charger, which it wouldn't overcharge it due to it's lower-time of charging.
Thanks in advance!
@@matiasholzman9324 I mostly use the old Apple USB A 5v 1A 5w charger with a USB A to Lightning cable. Or I use a powered USB 3.0 hub that’s connected to my M1 Mac Mini when I sync and backup my 13 Mini. When I travel, I use one of the newer Anker GaN 30w USB C chargers for both my iPhone and iPad Pro with no detrimental effects to either device. I’m sure the Apple 20w charger is therefore safe to use. The key is to not let your charge drop below 70% and just top it up regularly when you can. Fast charging mostly happens when your battery is low, so if you keep your battery at 70% or greater, it’s only in fast charging mode until it gets to 80% and then slows to the regular charging rate.
Great! Good to know about the fast-charging time range. I'll try to keep charging it with my USB-C + MacBook in that percentage (from 70% on). It doesn't get as hot as when I plug it to the the 20w charger.
I'd obviously prefer to have the 5w charger anyway..
So you kept it with 100% health over a year? Thats awesome.
Thanks again
Is it possible that most/all iPhone 13 Mini’s were still at 100% battery health at the one-year mark? (Correlation not being causation, in other words.)
An academic question for me; I still use an iPhone 7 😂
I like the video, the way it's presented. Good job! One thing though with "charging while using the phone", you can't exclude the heat element in this equation. You're using the phone, there's a good chance it would run hot + the heat generated by the charging process itself, and like you said heat is the number one enemy for the battery. So I imagine on the long run, not good.
True, although I would assume most people who do this are only doing it occasionally, and for short bursts of time, while they wait for their device to charge (versus a laptop for example, which you could have permanently plugged in while using). I agree that it's probably not advisable to constantly use your phone this way.
Makes little to no difference. The screen just won’t operate as brightly to counter heat. Enjoy the phone and don’t over think it
I agree with you, Omar. My iPhone gets hot, especially if I use it while charging so I only do it if necessary. What I would also say is that iPhones sometimes overheat during intensive usage even if they're not charging eg if you're watching a hd video playing a game so if you have to use your iPhone while it's charging try to avoid any demanding tasks on the phone.
Wonderful video! Thank you so much for your clarification
A great video with more than a few myths debunked for me. Thank you
