Many people mistakenly follow advice from youtubers to maintain battery health by not charging beyond 80% and avoiding drops below 20%. However, this practice often leads to excessive charging throughout the day, which can indeed be counterproductive for battery longevity. It's important to strike a balance between avoiding excessive charges and not letting your device's battery level drop too low consistently.
@@hustlergungster1727 I disagree with you. I did this one and yet my Iphone 14 pro max' battery health is already at 85%. I suggest just don't over think everything and avoid your phone getting so much heat when charging.
What a beautiful device. 😍 I don’t have an iphone but in my android I’m very consistent in 30%-80%/85% charging habit. I’m very anxious to my battery health. And I don’t let my battery overheat. every time I feel the heat in the battery, I stop using my device. 😅
Great video. I’m watching on the iPhone 14 pro that I got at launch. I’m at 91% but I also use a 20 watt charger as my regular charger. Now when I get the battery replaced, I’ll use the 5 watt overnight like you did. But, my 13 did not get as bad this fast. When I traded my 13 after a year I believe I was still at 97%.
I’m still at 100% on my Pro. I use the MagSafe charger. I have a timer on my power strip that turns it on to charge a bit right before I wake up. I usually take it off the charger around 80 to 90% when I wake up, and place it on there around 50% before bed. Basically I’m not a heavy user and my little setup keeps the battery in a healthy range with little thought into it.
When I had my iPhone 11 Pro Max, I pretty much strictly used the 20w fast charger, rarely using 5w, and keeping my battery mainly between 30-80%. Had the phone for about 4 years and battery health was 88%. Just wanted to share my experience, maybe keeping the battery between 30-80% is key? I think I remember the battery health taking a hit whenever I went 100% or it dead the few times over the years.
thats very good, i had 11 pro max as well and used 20W charger but i didnt charge it currectly i let it drop to 0-5% battery a lot and didnt stop at 80% so my 11 pro max had 79% health after over 3 years. I sold my 11pm and got a new 14 PM almost a year, I learned the currect charge habits similar to what you described and I now have 99% battery health on my 14PM after 11 months so yea what youre doing is good
@@atias3840 nice! I’ve had my 14 pro max for about 6 months now and the battery health is still 100%. I’ll definitely keep this charging habit to maximize my battery health.
This is great! I charge my IP11 from 25-30% with 20W Original plug charger but I make sure to unplug it once I've reached 100%. So far so good with the battery health over years. I did the same to my IP14P, over 11 mos, it still remains 100%. I also charge at night 6:00PM to 7:30PM to unplug estimated time before I go to sleep/dinner. Even if I wake up my charge is still 100%. Consider the environment, make sure you have cool room temp. When it comes tp usage, I stop taking pictures/filming whenever I felt heat from my iphone. I waited for it to cool down to start taking pictures again outdoors.

*Hold up this comparison is kinda useless unless you check the cycles and battery health percentages the phones came at with CoconutBattery.There can be up to 5-6% variances when iPhones are shipped from the factory. Some come with 106% battery health.* So you'd have had to plug both iPhones into a Mac with CoconutBattery Plus running on it to get that on the first day, then track over time. Otherwise everything is pretty much just a guess due to manufacturing variances.
Nice video but i have a question. My baterry health has been the same for my 14PM for almost 6 months, but recently it started dropping very fast doing now at 97%. Why s that? Nothing changed in the way i charge it, i have even been more careful.
i am currently using an iphone 13 as my first iphone after around 7 years of being an android user. all these battery health thing is new to me and i just try to compile as many inputs as possible. i have come to a conclusion that using wireless charger is not a recommended thing to do regularly as there is a lot of power being unused and lot of heat are being generated compared to traditional wired charging. as for the watt i believe using 5W charger will highly limit my comfort in using my phone, i will just avoid charging overnight and wait for the morning to charge since it is already a fast charging so i know i will have time before i need to go somewhere. i also try to avoid wireless magsafe powerbank as the heat from powerbank combined with the heat of the phone will damage the battery health drastically based on the experience of the people i have read online. nonetheless, i hope my way of charging is good and would allow my iphone to be at its best performance through the next 3+ years. nice entertaining but still informative video dion, thanks.
My 14 Plus is at 96% already after just 3 months, but I've been using a 45W brick with standard Iphone cable. Better change to a 5W to keep that health from plummeting, hopefully.
To many people let battery health affect them too much. Use your phone and enjoy it. If battery gets below 80% health just replace it. Most people gonna easily get over 2 years before battery health gets to 80%.
It is important though, also for the environment, but indeed, as I said at the end of my video: do not overthink it. Still, I think that with some of my suggestions one can easily prolong the battery life.
my iphone 14 pro max has 100% battery after a year ( I ordered on launch day for the satellite sos feature ) I almost always charged with 5 watt.. This seems to be the key... Keep that battery as cool as possible for as long as possible... I'll watch youtube/twitch for hours and hours straight.. Which is really light weight load... Trying to get 5 years out of this phone.. as I'll probably get an android. I'm hoping the watch will work with the iPad in the future and not need the phone.
ive just been using the regular apple charger for my 14 pro max, and after a year my battery is still at 100 percent. I have a 150watt charger but only use it when I have limited time and need to charge my power bricks. Haven't used it on my phone yet.
Hey @dion . 100% battery capacity for an iPhone 14 pro after 1 year. How? Based on the calculations made and applied we lose 1% battery every 25 complete cycles (0-100%) charge which is 4% every 100 complete cycles. Apple’s website suggests that an iPhone will retain up-to 80% of its original battery capacity after the first 500 cycles I am sure that the data shown here isn’t quite right. I use an XR which is 4 years old and my current battery capacity reads at 87% which by the way is incorrect. In reality when I did the math it stands at 85.09%. I checked my current battery cycle count from the analytics logs and checked cracked the current percentage by my phone’s nominal charging capacity by its Max Charging Capacity. I am sure the same applies to your iPhone 14 pro too.
Hi, yes, that is what Apple informs us and in general it is right. However, there are so many factors that come into play. I agree that after one year the 100 % is technically not possible, but it is what is indicated, so probably it is being rounded. My 14Pro Max is 96% after one year.
@@DionMediaSir, I bought my 14 Pro Max last year, and I started using it this year not up to year my battery is now 94%. Sir can you tell me what what I have to start applying to make it stop not going down again
I just got a 15 plus today. Should I not use my 20W charger over night? Should I purchase a 5W for overnight and keep the 20W for during the day IF it needs it? I’m having a hard time understanding this and I need someone to dummy it down for me haha
This is what I think about the most and what I follow the most. So I want to ask you something, do you update the apps. Do you update the ios software? Have you always kept the phone up to date as applications and ios software. Were there times when you did the iOS software and did not update the applications. 14 promax 94% batter healt i did same things We charged our phone with almost the same logic.
My charging habits I got a 20 watt apple charger I use it till about 30% and I’ll charge it to 80% 85% I charge to 100% twice a week I know it’s weird it’s just a habit but after 6 months im still on 100% but the environment is key as well avoid hot temps what l learned using my 13 pro max is that if you use it while on charger that’s a quick way to lose health the 20 watt is fast enough to get me a decent charge on the go
Hi! I've only ever charged my iphone with a cable, and I actually don't really like magsafe. In Estonia at the moment, iPhone 14 Pro, 128 GB costs 1189 EUR, 14 Pro Max 1399 EUR, 14 Pro 256 GB costs 1299 EUR and Pro Max 256 GB costs 1499 EUR, 14 Pro Max 512 GB costs 1879 EUR. iPhone 14 and 14 plus standard costs from 128 GB 899 eur, 14 plus 999 eur, 256 GB iphone 999 eur and plus 1149. In Europe the prices are much more expensive and in Estonia iPhone prices rise every year, we are not like the USA. Thank you for the video!
Warm greetings to Estonia! I have been there a few times, many years ago. And thanks for your support to Ukraine. True, in some countries the prices are (too) high. Best, Dion
@@DionMedia Hi! Yes, you wrote once before that you have been to Estonia and Latvia, and that is nice. I haven't been to England yet, I really want to visit this country, maybe someday I'll get to England too. Unfortunately, Estonia is becoming more and more expensive every year, we can feel it painfully in our everyday life here, and many tourists have also said so. I put the prices so that maybe others also want to see them and that it is a bit difficult to calculate them, because most of the time iPhone prices are either in dollars or pounds, but in the end, you have to add 200-400 euros to each imaginary price, depending on whether it is a Pro or a Pro Max, then you have an idea of how expensive iPhone prices are in Estonia. I'm really looking forward to the new iPhone and their prices, it seems. Thank you for your answer!
Very nice review! Should I let my iPhone 14 pro max drop down to about 21% before charging it? Is that a recommended range to let it drop down before charging it without causing Long-Term damage to the battery? What is the recommended battery range to wait before charging it?
HI, good question. Research in inconclusive, and that is why I did not mention it in the video, but if we use as starting point that the less cycles the better, then it seems logic to drop as much as possible before recharging it.
its very important to understand that a lithium ion battery will hold its battery health best if you try to keep its charge between 30% - 80%, never let it run down to 0% if possible
Thanks, an important discussion. I have read many conflicting reports on this, reason why I left it out in my video. My advice is to focus on low charging
So basically it's not strictly necessary to charge it up to 80-85%? Can I safely do 100%? Or should I balance between both, charging up to 85% and up to 100% eventually?
There are so many conflicting article and the scientific data contradict each other. That is why I focus on the way of charging and on the number of Watt
thanks so much for this video. I was almost sick to my stomach because I just purchased the iPhone 14 pro at Koodo with an offer that I just couldn't ignore. new phone with 1 TB for only 800 Canadian dollars and thought I made a mistake. but now that I know this vital info I feel better. I do have a concern, I have an 8-Port USB charger that says in the back USB Output: 5V===12A (max) / Each port 2.4A, Could you please tell me if that is ok for overnight charging?
I charged my 13 pro max and 14 pro max the same way (overnight via a Belkin magsafe charger), I sold the 13 after a year with 98% battery health and the 14 currently has 94%, it doesn’t make any sense Oh and the 13 pro max every night I went to bed, it had 35-50% of battery remaining, on the other hand, I am charging the 14 pro max every single night
I got 100% after a year with my prior IPhone 11. I recently upgraded to the 15 Pro. I will see if I get repeat the same feat twice with the battery health. I ended with the 11 at 74% battery health after 4 years before sending it in for trading in 2 days ago. My offer is for $200 off after trade in.
Hi Dion. Great video as always. What about the battery life after ios 16.6 update. Do you think its better and should i update? The only thing that bothers me with my 14 pro is battery life, and i hear ppl saying that its significantly better with the 16.6 ios
Is charging iphone out of the case much better than with case since you mentioned that battery heat from charging can contribute to fast deterioration of battery?
Hey Dion thanks for the video but i have a question. I don't have 5w brick I only have 20w, Will it be bad if i use 20w wired charging or should I get 5w brick and also compatible cable?
Thanks for reply. I also have another question I am not using autobrightness i use %10-20 brightness all the time, should i turn auto brightness on or use it like this?
Hi, This is a great video and some really good info. However i use a esr magsafe wireless charger overnight for my iphone 14 pro max. I've had it a year and my battery health is still 100%. This charger has a fan built inside to keep the phone cool whilst charging, which ESR term cryoboost, but i believe this helps the charging stick to a certian wattage all the way rather than going to the full and gradually come doing to a few watts. I also have some android phones and use the same charger for those aswell.
how about leaving the iphone 14PM on a charger during the day? I wake up, unplug my iphone from 5w wired charger, head to work and put it on a magsafe stand at 100% ALL day. Plug it back in at night before bed. cycle continues. Is that good for the battery? even though It says 100% but I feel my battery capacity degraded, doesn't even last 6 hours during full use w/o charge. Is this a software issue?
Do you recommend charging the phone through Windows Laptop type C port? I have been using it for a while now and it is so convenient as I no longer have to go with charging brick all the time. Just plug in to the type C port and it starts charging. Charging speeds are also decent to best. Suggestions are welcome!
Hey thanks for the video! Very helpful, will use these tips for my iPhone 15 pro max that is coming this Friday. My 13’s battery went down the drain due to excessive use of MagSafe charging. I’m gonna follow your advise, ordered an oldskool 5w apple brick, and a usb-a to USB-c IF certified cable. Hopefully that will keep my phone healthy!
Maar als je telefoon in de middag onder 30 procent is en je gaat bijvoorbeeld over 2 uur slapen laad je dan je telefoon op en ook andersom als je in de middag oplaad haal je hem er dan vanaf als de batterij 80 procent is?
Hi, er zijn zoveel conflicterende studies. We weten dat hitte de meeste impact heeft en daarom heen baseer ik mijn video, veel meer dan bepaalde percentage
I shifted from Xs Max to IPhone 14 pro : My issues The screen is smaller - that’s live able But what is really frustrating is the battery during down as my screen time is around 11 hr and I need to charge it twice a day … unlike my xs Max which 7:19 lasted me for 3/4 th day .. screen is not as good looking as a Samsung phone (s23) Pro Great Camera 120 hz display
That big charger, or the gan prime from Anker can charge TWO phones, for example, yours and your coworker, at top speed…OR your 14PM AND your iPADPro 12.9 overbite with smart charge turned on…..
Amazing .. mine is at 88% after 11mths….. will replace it once it hits 70-80% as I decided to skip doing an upgrade this year which i use to do annually since IP4s
I have an Iphone 14 pro max, and after 1 year and 6 months battery percentage is at 90%, is it ok??? Also few months a go it was 100% but then suddenly when it went to 99% , it has been dropping 2% to 3% battery health every month is that ok or is there a problem with my phone?
Hi! This is a very good and comprehensive video! I charge my old iPhone with a cable, I don't have MagSafe either. I have slow and fast iphone chargers, I use them as needed. I also mostly charge my iPhone at night. Thank you!
i have iphone 11 2yrs and 8 months battery health 85% only charge with 5 w adapter not obsession with fast charging at all considering ti upgrade to 14pm soon and will continue to use 5w adapter
It necessary turn on the low power mode at all times? At normal using the iPhone 14 pro would get warm gradually,and I think that is bad to battery life. But turning on the low power mode the 120 hz promotion would be closed,and affect the experience of iPhone. （sorry about my poor English 😂)
heres a cap, battery also needs heat to operate appropriately because of the materials used. It was designed to take heat, so I’ll say enjoy your phone. Life is too short to be worried about batteries, just replace it if it reaches 80%.
My mom's iphone 13 battery capacity is 87%, why it's not 100% anymore? Is it because of she used her phone while charging? Like watching in yt while charging?
Overthinking about a phone's battery health is ridiculous. My 13 pro max is at 86% but I can still get 10 hours SOT lasting me 2 days. Just use the phone stop adding useless problems to you life.
Let me share with you my tips. So I have my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I charge it using a 5W charger. Guess how many batteries I have? Still at 96%. I also have my MacBook Pro M1, and its battery health is 94%. You know why? I charge both devices from 30% to 80%; that's a half cycle, and the next time I charge them from 30% to 80%, that would be a full cycle.
I still use my iPhone xr rn, the battery health is 86% i used it for 5 years never change the battery. I always charged my phone at 30-40% never used it below 30%
my iPhone 14 Pro is down to 88% battery health after 15months. I use the belkin magsafe charger and have 3hrs of screen time daily. Not sure why it's dropped so much.
Hi, it is a bit below average, but not something to really worry about. A lot depends on the climate where you live as well. In addition to my tips you might consider a wired charger with a low wattage
Well I just got my 14 Pro max a year ago. When all the updates came out it started to suck my battery health up. It’s at 89% so is my daughters. My granddaughters is at 93% we got them all at same time. This is the first iPhone I have had that has a terrible battery health . I do a update or drop 2% within two weeks. I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max I use just on Wi-Fi and it’s still at 93. It’s Apple . I use my phone no more then I have in the past. Thank goodness I got AppleCare plus. No way it make another year. I believe it will go down past 80. Wish I had known I went with android this time. They want you too keep buying phones. 1,000 for a iPhone. It’s unacceptable!!
This was a very helpful video My question is using a 5 watt cable with a wireless charger to charge over night better than just a regular wireless charger
I've had my iPhone 13 mini for 8 months now and I've been charging every night with Apple's 5W brick. Sometimes I charge it with the 20W brick and very few times I've charged it with magsafe. My battery health is at 91% and I have no idea why. Ok sometimes the phone reached temps of over 42 C while charging even on 5W, but i dont think thats enough to get it to 91% so fast
The drop test joke was so witty😂. But Hmmm, I was really thinking of getting a wireless charger (especially after the last video), so maybe I’ll reconsider that
The best thing you can do for your iPhone battery is buy an iPad lol I kept ,meeting old people who had iPhones 2-3 years and have 98%. They religiously only use the iPad at home it does all the same stuff anyway. I bought a mini and saved my 15 pro max battery still at 100% 150 cycles I charge like every other day and don’t use battery packs at all
My 14pro now at 7 months is 95%. From 96% and dropped to 95% after 3 days. I’ve read somewhere there been lots of complaints with 14, pro and max having issues with battery health.
95% is acceptable after 7 months is relatively normal. I would not worry to much about the 1% drop, as Apple is only periodically updating the battery health. About your other question. I have not experienced it and I would say that the large majority of the users do not either. Yes, there are some messages going around, but it does not seem to be a real major issue
2 wks ago my phone was 96 then dropped to 95, now it’s 93% and I’m sure it will continue to go down even further. My sister who has the same phone is now at 86% and she got it just a month before I did.
OK mine just went down a percentage in battery health but before that I always used the Apple brand but because I took a few days for it to ship here I had to use third-party stuff could have that been the cause of battery health and I had my phone foronly five months so far
Hi. All nice but using the phone generates heat as well so I don’t think big magic can be done here. The orther issue is upgrading the software hits always the battery also. 3rd point doesn’t matter what the app shows after 1 year utilisation charged every day no battery is 100% it is just physics.
I don't let my 14 pro max fall below 70 percent battery and keep topping it up to 98 or 97 percent ? 100 percent battery health after 2 months ? Should I keep doing this ??
@@DionMedia HI Dion , I don't know about the approach , but iOS 16.6 has been amazing on my 14 pro max . I am getting like 11 hours of screen time and have no plans of upgrading it to iOS 17 not soon . Going to stay on iOS 16.6 or 16.7(if it comes out) for a while .
Thank you sir you once again helped me understand my phone I’m happy you spoke about of the phone will over charge after being plugged in still at 100 I’ve been scared 😂 looking foward to more tips
I also think that the mini 13 is an excellent phone, but you have to make a battery for a whole day, and if Apple managed to make a watch that is smaller than a phone with a battery for two days, then of course it can make a phone with a battery that lasts for two days, you just have to convince them that it is important
What is your iPhone charging setup? 🔋
I have no setup per say. I just charge my phone normaly.
Prevent the phone to go below 30% and charge up to at least 80%. I have a 12w charger beside my bed and a 20w charger in my computer desk.
5w from 20-80%

My 14 Plus is at 96% already after just 3 months, but I've been using a 45W brick with standard Iphone cable. Better change to a 5W to keep that health from plummeting, hopefully.
It should make a difference
can you recommend a 5watt charger, because here in my country apple discontinue them, thanks
really important topic, and one of the simplest videos to understand out here. I prioritize longevity over fast charging.
Exactly! If you don’t you will end up carrying a charger everywhereeeeee
Finally. Just what I wanted to see. Thanks for sharing your research and the view on it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing another video, Dion! Have a great weekend!
Cheers from BR!
Thanks Eduardo, hope all well on your side!
To many people let battery health affect them too much. Use your phone and enjoy it. If battery gets below 80% health just replace it. Most people gonna easily get over 2 years before battery health gets to 80%.
It is important though, also for the environment, but indeed, as I said at the end of my video: do not overthink it. Still, I think that with some of my suggestions one can easily prolong the battery life.
Exactly
I have a new iphone the 14 pro max and the regular apple charger,how should I charge correctly? 20-80%??
my iphone 14 pro max has 100% battery after a year ( I ordered on launch day for the satellite sos feature ) I almost always charged with 5 watt.. This seems to be the key... Keep that battery as cool as possible for as long as possible... I'll watch youtube/twitch for hours and hours straight.. Which is really light weight load... Trying to get 5 years out of this phone.. as I'll probably get an android. I'm hoping the watch will work with the iPad in the future and not need the phone.
That's impressive battery health.
I charge my phone 20 watt charger I preordered the 14 regular and it’s already 92%
5W vs 12W what would you recommend ?
Nice research and vid, thank you so much! :) what magsafe wireless charger do you use btw?
I use several. In that video one of Magbag, if I am not mistaken
ive just been using the regular apple charger for my 14 pro max, and after a year my battery is still at 100 percent. I have a 150watt charger but only use it when I have limited time and need to charge my power bricks. Haven't used it on my phone yet.
Thanks for your Encouragement and support,got something special for you
Hey @dion . 100% battery capacity for an iPhone 14 pro after 1 year. How?
Based on the calculations made and applied we lose 1% battery every 25 complete cycles (0-100%) charge which is 4% every 100 complete cycles.
Apple’s website suggests that an iPhone will retain up-to 80% of its original battery capacity after the first 500 cycles
I am sure that the data shown here isn’t quite right. I use an XR which is 4 years old and my current battery capacity reads at 87% which by the way is incorrect. In reality when I did the math it stands at 85.09%.
I checked my current battery cycle count from the analytics logs and checked cracked the current percentage by my phone’s nominal charging capacity by its Max Charging Capacity.
I am sure the same applies to your iPhone 14 pro too.
I agree. It doesn't make sense at all and he doesn't even cover the cycle count of the battery. Seems very suspicious to me.
Hi, yes, that is what Apple informs us and in general it is right. However, there are so many factors that come into play. I agree that after one year the 100 % is technically not possible, but it is what is indicated, so probably it is being rounded. My 14Pro Max is 96% after one year.
@@DionMediaSir, I bought my 14 Pro Max last year, and I started using it this year not up to year my battery is now 94%. Sir can you tell me what what I have to start applying to make it stop not going down again
Which 5W brick do you recommend? Apple does not have them here.
Hey @DionMedia
What iOS version were you on?
I also have 100% battery Health it’s good for me but whenever I try to sale it peoples couldn’t believe it asking me is it a boosted battery
I just got a 15 plus today. Should I not use my 20W charger over night? Should I purchase a 5W for overnight and keep the 20W for during the day IF it needs it? I’m having a hard time understanding this and I need someone to dummy it down for me haha
This is what I think about the most and what I follow the most. So I want to ask you something, do you update the apps. Do you update the ios software? Have you always kept the phone up to date as applications and ios software. Were there times when you did the iOS software and did not update the applications. 14 promax 94% batter healt i did same things We charged our phone with almost the same logic.
Thanks for sharing your POV. Happy Holidays
My charging habits I got a 20 watt apple charger I use it till about 30% and I’ll charge it to 80% 85% I charge to 100% twice a week I know it’s weird it’s just a habit but after 6 months im still on 100% but the environment is key as well avoid hot temps what l learned using my 13 pro max is that if you use it while on charger that’s a quick way to lose health the 20 watt is fast enough to get me a decent charge on the go
Thanks for sharing your experience
Why overthink so much just charge it and that s it damn
I have huawei charger 5v .. Is it ok to charge iphone14pro max sir please tell
Great video, I'm going to try this 5W solution for my new iPhone 14 Pro which will be shipped tomorrow :)
Thanks and..enjoy your 14 Pro
Is it mandatory though to have both fast and slow charger for iPhone?
No, but having both comes in handy. A fast charger, although not recommended by me, comes in handy at times :)
do you think it's better to use a 5 w charger also for the mac or only for the phone?
If possible, for both
Hi! I've only ever charged my iphone with a cable, and I actually don't really like magsafe. In Estonia at the moment, iPhone 14 Pro, 128 GB costs 1189 EUR, 14 Pro Max 1399 EUR, 14 Pro 256 GB costs 1299 EUR and Pro Max 256 GB costs 1499 EUR, 14 Pro Max 512 GB costs 1879 EUR. iPhone 14 and 14 plus standard costs from 128 GB 899 eur, 14 plus 999 eur, 256 GB iphone 999 eur and plus 1149. In Europe the prices are much more expensive and in Estonia iPhone prices rise every year, we are not like the USA. Thank you for the video!
Warm greetings to Estonia! I have been there a few times, many years ago. And thanks for your support to Ukraine. True, in some countries the prices are (too) high. Best, Dion
@@DionMedia Hi! Yes, you wrote once before that you have been to Estonia and Latvia, and that is nice. I haven't been to England yet, I really want to visit this country, maybe someday I'll get to England too. Unfortunately, Estonia is becoming more and more expensive every year, we can feel it painfully in our everyday life here, and many tourists have also said so. I put the prices so that maybe others also want to see them and that it is a bit difficult to calculate them, because most of the time iPhone prices are either in dollars or pounds, but in the end, you have to add 200-400 euros to each imaginary price, depending on whether it is a Pro or a Pro Max, then you have an idea of how expensive iPhone prices are in Estonia. I'm really looking forward to the new iPhone and their prices, it seems. Thank you for your answer!
Ah, I always get excited when viewers come from countries that I have visited. Sorry to bother you twice. Best regards, Dion
Very nice review! Should I let my iPhone 14 pro max drop down to about 21% before charging it? Is that a recommended range to let it drop down before charging it without causing Long-Term damage to the battery? What is the recommended battery range to wait before charging it?
HI, good question. Research in inconclusive, and that is why I did not mention it in the video, but if we use as starting point that the less cycles the better, then it seems logic to drop as much as possible before recharging it.
I don’t see a 5 watt charger from apple anywhere. Where you get it ?
its very important to understand that a lithium ion battery will hold its battery health best if you try to keep its charge between 30% - 80%, never let it run down to 0% if possible
Thanks, an important discussion. I have read many conflicting reports on this, reason why I left it out in my video. My advice is to focus on low charging
So basically it's not strictly necessary to charge it up to 80-85%? Can I safely do 100%? Or should I balance between both, charging up to 85% and up to 100% eventually?
There are so many conflicting article and the scientific data contradict each other. That is why I focus on the way of charging and on the number of Watt
thanks so much for this video. I was almost sick to my stomach because I just purchased the iPhone 14 pro at Koodo with an offer that I just couldn't ignore. new phone with 1 TB for only 800 Canadian dollars and thought I made a mistake. but now that I know this vital info I feel better.
I do have a concern, I have an 8-Port USB charger that says in the back USB Output: 5V===12A (max) / Each port 2.4A,
Could you please tell me if that is ok for overnight charging?
Hi, sorry for the late reaction. First of all, great price. Concerning the charger. I would go for a single port charger, 5W, overnight charging
What about a magsafe charger plugged into a 9w block vs the 20w block from apple? Would that make a difference?
The magsafe charger supports up to 15W. There will be a difference. I prefer, when possible to go for the lower W
So, do you recommend a 5-watt or 20-watt adapter for the 14 pro max? which causes more damage to the battery?
it is heat that causes damage, so if you not in a hurry I always a low wattage
I charged my 13 pro max and 14 pro max the same way (overnight via a Belkin magsafe charger), I sold the 13 after a year with 98% battery health and the 14 currently has 94%, it doesn’t make any sense
Oh and the 13 pro max every night I went to bed, it had 35-50% of battery remaining, on the other hand, I am charging the 14 pro max every single night
Thanks for sharing your experience
Just saw this vid again, I really would like to have the iPhone 15 pro, but what about that one? Is there any 5w charging brick with usb C?
Yes, there is
What about a 10watt charger? Still good right since it also doesn’t generate much heat and prolong the battery life a bit longer.
Nothing wrong with the 10W, but 5W overnight is best to prolong battery life.
@@DionMedia thanks :3
I got 100% after a year with my prior IPhone 11. I recently upgraded to the 15 Pro. I will see if I get repeat the same feat twice with the battery health. I ended with the 11 at 74% battery health after 4 years before sending it in for trading in 2 days ago. My offer is for $200 off after trade in.
My iPhone 14 Pro was 100% at 11 months then after iOS 17 update in 2 months it’s dropped to 92%- many users are having the same issue!
Hi Dion. Great video as always. What about the battery life after ios 16.6 update. Do you think its better and should i update? The only thing that bothers me with my 14 pro is battery life, and i hear ppl saying that its significantly better with the 16.6 ios
Hi, I have not noticed a difference
Hi how many times ur charge ur phone per day? Is it ok if i charged 2-3 times per day if i follow this rule? Tq
1x per day should be enough
if i use oneplus 65 watt charger in my 15 pro max does it produce more heat then iphone 30 waat chager
Is charging iphone out of the case much better than with case since you mentioned that battery heat from charging can contribute to fast deterioration of battery?
yes, you are right, technically that is better
so ladies and gents it been proven fast charge kills battery health i charge mine with 5w once a week and it is still at 100%
battery health percentage made everyone paranoid
Hey Dion thanks for the video but i have a question. I don't have 5w brick I only have 20w, Will it be bad if i use 20w wired charging or should I get 5w brick and also compatible cable?
20 Watt is not bad per se, but the main issue for battery health is preventing its heating. Slow charging will achieve this
Thanks for reply. I also have another question I am not using autobrightness i use %10-20 brightness all the time, should i turn auto brightness on or use it like this?
how many hours can lasts my iphone 13 with 80% of battery health?
Hi, This is a great video and some really good info.
However i use a esr magsafe wireless charger overnight for my iphone 14 pro max. I've had it a year and my battery health is still 100%. This charger has a fan built inside to keep the phone cool whilst charging, which ESR term cryoboost, but i believe this helps the charging stick to a certian wattage all the way rather than going to the full and gradually come doing to a few watts. I also have some android phones and use the same charger for those aswell.
impressive story, does this approach has same impact on charging the Android phones?
how about leaving the iphone 14PM on a charger during the day?
I wake up, unplug my iphone from 5w wired charger, head to work and put it on a magsafe stand at 100% ALL day. Plug it back in at night before bed. cycle continues. Is that good for the battery? even though It says 100% but I feel my battery capacity degraded, doesn't even last 6 hours during full use w/o charge. Is this a software issue?
Great you use the 5W charger during the night. I would not suggest to leave it on the charger the whole day
@@DionMedia everything is apple’s 5w charger. Even wireless. Why not leave it during the day? Shouldn’t it stop charging at 100?
Do you recommend charging the phone through Windows Laptop type C port? I have been using it for a while now and it is so convenient as I no longer have to go with charging brick all the time. Just plug in to the type C port and it starts charging. Charging speeds are also decent to best.
Suggestions are welcome!
The charge speed will vary from laptop to laptop, also between IOS and Window, but your suggestion is a good one. And convenient!
my 14 pro is at 90% at 13 months is that normal can i go to apple and will they replace the battery under warranty?
That is within the acceptable range.
Hey thanks for the video! Very helpful, will use these tips for my iPhone 15 pro max that is coming this Friday. My 13’s battery went down the drain due to excessive use of MagSafe charging. I’m gonna follow your advise, ordered an oldskool 5w apple brick, and a usb-a to USB-c IF certified cable. Hopefully that will keep my phone healthy!
MagSafe doesn’t ruin battery health lol
What about charging my iPhone using MacBook laptop? How’s that.
it has a lower watt, on the slow side, but it should be fine! It is convenient, that is for sure
@@DionMedia actually charging my iPhone using MacBook makes the phone charge rather quick and makes it warm.
Maar als je telefoon in de middag onder 30 procent is en je gaat bijvoorbeeld over 2 uur slapen laad je dan je telefoon op en ook andersom als je in de middag oplaad haal je hem er dan vanaf als de batterij 80 procent is?
Hi, er zijn zoveel conflicterende studies. We weten dat hitte de meeste impact heeft en daarom heen baseer ik mijn video, veel meer dan bepaalde percentage
I shifted from Xs Max to IPhone 14 pro :
My issues
The screen is smaller - that’s live able
But what is really frustrating is the battery during down as my screen time is around 11 hr and I need to charge it twice a day … unlike my xs Max which 7:19 lasted me for 3/4 th day ..
screen is not as good looking as a Samsung phone (s23)
Pro
Great Camera
120 hz display
That big charger, or the gan prime from Anker can charge TWO phones, for example, yours and your coworker, at top speed…OR your 14PM AND your iPADPro 12.9 overbite with smart charge turned on…..
My only question is why are your phones times so different.. 1:32 and 11:52 respectively at the 12:05 mark
Amazing .. mine is at 88% after 11mths….. will replace it once it hits 70-80% as I decided to skip doing an upgrade this year which i use to do annually since IP4s
I have an Iphone 14 pro max, and after 1 year and 6 months battery percentage is at 90%, is it ok??? Also few months a go it was 100% but then suddenly when it went to 99% , it has been dropping 2% to 3% battery health every month is that ok or is there a problem with my phone?
Hi! This is a very good and comprehensive video! I charge my old iPhone with a cable, I don't have MagSafe either. I have slow and fast iphone chargers, I use them as needed. I also mostly charge my iPhone at night. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
already do that for a few years now...during night I only use slow charger....and I only use fast charger when I really need more juice......
Agree, best approach
It’s safe to charge 15 pro max with apple 5 watt adapter with Samsung type c cable??
Yes it is!
i have iphone 11 2yrs and 8 months battery health 85% only charge with 5 w adapter not obsession with fast charging at all considering ti upgrade to 14pm soon and will continue to use 5w adapter
Pretty good. Good example of the importance of the 5W. Do the same for the 14 Pro Max
It necessary turn on the low power mode at all times? At normal using the iPhone 14 pro would get warm gradually,and I think that is bad to battery life. But turning on the low power mode the 120 hz promotion would be closed,and affect the experience of iPhone.
（sorry about my poor English 😂)
my 14 PM is 45 days old and already battery health is at 98%.. . Not happy with screen on time battery drain is more post upgrading to IOS 17 betas
Thanks for your Encouragement and support,got something special for you
heres a cap, battery also needs heat to operate appropriately because of the materials used. It was designed to take heat, so I’ll say enjoy your phone. Life is too short to be worried about batteries, just replace it if it reaches 80%.
My mom's iphone 13 battery capacity is 87%, why it's not 100% anymore? Is it because of she used her phone while charging? Like watching in yt while charging?
Difficult to say. How many cycles did she charge? How did she charge etc? Many variables
Which iOS version you're on?
Always the latest
Overthinking about a phone's battery health is ridiculous. My 13 pro max is at 86% but I can still get 10 hours SOT lasting me 2 days. Just use the phone stop adding useless problems to you life.
Hi Martin, that is what I say at the end of the video: do not overthink it!
Let me share with you my tips. So I have my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I charge it using a 5W charger. Guess how many batteries I have? Still at 96%. I also have my MacBook Pro M1, and its battery health is 94%. You know why? I charge both devices from 30% to 80%; that's a half cycle, and the next time I charge them from 30% to 80%, that would be a full cycle.
Nicely Explained, Thanks ❤
Most welcome 😊
I still use my iPhone xr rn, the battery health is 86% i used it for 5 years never change the battery. I always charged my phone at 30-40% never used it below 30%
Thanks for sharing
This is very detailed and informative, could you do so for android phones❤
Might be a good idea for the future!
my iPhone 14 Pro is down to 88% battery health after 15months. I use the belkin magsafe charger and have 3hrs of screen time daily. Not sure why it's dropped so much.
Hi, it is a bit below average, but not something to really worry about. A lot depends on the climate where you live as well. In addition to my tips you might consider a wired charger with a low wattage
Well I just got my 14 Pro max a year ago. When all the updates came out it started to suck my battery health up. It’s at 89% so is my daughters. My granddaughters is at 93% we got them all at same time. This is the first iPhone I have had that has a terrible battery health . I do a update or drop 2% within two weeks. I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max I use just on Wi-Fi and it’s still at 93. It’s Apple . I use my phone no more then I have in the past. Thank goodness I got AppleCare plus. No way it make another year. I believe it will go down past 80. Wish I had known I went with android this time. They want you too keep buying phones. 1,000 for a iPhone. It’s unacceptable!!
Very unacceptable i have the same issue and mine is at 88% now how frustrating
@@dehinboisraelmayowa5636 Yes it is mine is 87 now ! I had iPhones in the past. This is the first having my battery dropped like it has 😐
A great topic and nice presentation.
thanks!
This was a very helpful video
My question is using a 5 watt cable with a wireless charger to charge over night better than just a regular wireless charger
A bit, but it should not make much of a difference
My iPhone 11 had about 1,155 cycles on it and it had a battery health of 63% it lasted about 4 hours before it died
That is a bit on the low side.
Mine 14 pro max is on 92% battery after 13,5 moths of use with a 20w charger is that good
Hi, that is ok, well within limits.
I've had my iPhone 13 mini for 8 months now and I've been charging every night with Apple's 5W brick. Sometimes I charge it with the 20W brick and very few times I've charged it with magsafe. My battery health is at 91% and I have no idea why. Ok sometimes the phone reached temps of over 42 C while charging even on 5W, but i dont think thats enough to get it to 91% so fast
I have my 13 mini I charge with 20w it has 1 year and one month and battery health is 92 % 🙈
The drop test joke was so witty😂. But Hmmm, I was really thinking of getting a wireless charger (especially after the last video), so maybe I’ll reconsider that
let me know what you decide. And thanks for watching my videos!
The best thing you can do for your iPhone battery is buy an iPad lol I kept ,meeting old people who had iPhones 2-3 years and have 98%. They religiously only use the iPad at home it does all the same stuff anyway. I bought a mini and saved my 15 pro max battery still at 100% 150 cycles I charge like every other day and don’t use battery packs at all
My 14pro now at 7 months is 95%.
From 96% and dropped to 95% after 3 days. I’ve read somewhere there been lots of complaints with 14, pro and max having issues with battery health.
95% is acceptable after 7 months is relatively normal. I would not worry to much about the 1% drop, as Apple is only periodically updating the battery health. About your other question. I have not experienced it and I would say that the large majority of the users do not either. Yes, there are some messages going around, but it does not seem to be a real major issue
14 pro max I got at launch. I use MagSafe 99% of the time. Battery 🔋 health 100%
2 wks ago my phone was 96 then dropped to 95, now it’s 93% and I’m sure it will continue to go down even further. My sister who has the same phone is now at 86% and she got it just a month before I did.
My 14 pro max is at 94%. The crazy thing is that not even 5 months ago it was 100%. It went down 6% within a month
Sorry to hear, that is a rapid decrease.
OK mine just went down a percentage in battery health but before that I always used the Apple brand but because I took a few days for it to ship here I had to use third-party stuff could have that been the cause of battery health and I had my phone foronly five months so far
Hi. All nice but using the phone generates heat as well so I don’t think big magic can be done here.
The orther issue is upgrading the software hits always the battery also.
3rd point doesn’t matter what the app shows after 1 year utilisation charged every day no battery is 100% it is just physics.
iPhone X after almost 6 years at 84%.
not bad!!!
@@DionMedia Iphone 11 Pro (82%)
I don't let my 14 pro max fall below 70 percent battery and keep topping it up to 98 or 97 percent ? 100 percent battery health after 2 months ? Should I keep doing this ??
Hi, there are many theories (and I have read them all), but I do not think that your approach is worth the effort
@@DionMedia HI Dion , I don't know about the approach , but iOS 16.6 has been amazing on my 14 pro max . I am getting like 11 hours of screen time and have no plans of upgrading it to iOS 17 not soon . Going to stay on iOS 16.6 or 16.7(if it comes out) for a while .
Thank you sir you once again helped me understand my phone
I’m happy you spoke about of the phone will over charge after being plugged in still at 100 I’ve been scared 😂 looking foward to more tips
Your phone is your friend. Do not be afraid :). The 100% thing is unknown to many people
I also think that the mini 13 is an excellent phone, but you have to make a battery for a whole day, and if Apple managed to make a watch that is smaller than a phone with a battery for two days, then of course it can make a phone with a battery that lasts for two days, you just have to convince them that it is important
