Best comment 😎 I charge my phone anytime I feel like it with my wireless and fast chargers. Battery health on paper is at 81% but my phone lasts all day. If my battery starts really degrading I just get a new battery.
I fuckin changed my battery at 80 percent after 2 years exact ! And yeaaahhhh boi I got 100 percent battery Healh now One thing more ! No matter how much you prevent your battery health to deplete, it will deplete no matter what Even apple says for 2 years your battery health will reach to 80 so don’t ponder so much on this issue just get your battery replaced and use it tension free Also I would suggest all those iPhone users using wireless charger and fast charging stop it 🛑 just use slow charging , which actually works to preserve your battery 🔋
Got my first iPhone in April. Have watched tons of videos about battery health. It all came to hot temperatures/overheating. I been putting mine on a cooling fan while it fast charges/updates. Works for me
@@ChristopherBong I think heat is a big thing. That’s one of the reasons I never got a wireless charger. I mostly use a 12w iPad one. Only when I’m in a rush I use the 20w Anker Nano. And I charge whenever I can. The battery never goes below 20%. This is a good video to follow.
Good for battery health between 80-90% and best for sometimes 100% for road trip far away I think that’s alright. Do not too often 100%. I personally use 80 and sometimes 95% balance.
Believe it or not, my grandpa had owned an iPhone SE since November of last year. And somehow he’s managed to keep his battery capacity up at 100 for a whole entire year. And I believe he still has it up at 100 because he doesn’t have a whole lot of apps or games, and only uses his phone for calling, texting, RUclips, and a little bit of games. This may help out a lot if you don’t use your phone as often as others. Hope this helped 😊
I think it’s so important to tell people not to leave their phone battery sink right down to 0% before charging. Used to do this allll the time and honestly I didn’t know we weren’t supposed to go that anymore! Now I charge it whenever
Also, putting your phone on a MagSafe charger will not cause the phone to heat up too much. There are temperature regulators built in the hardware and software of both the charger and the phone. If the phone begins to heat up too much, the phone will slow down the current of the charge, allowing the temperature to decrease. Usually, if you just let your phone charge, and you don’t use it while charging, the temperature is fine. And you don’t need to micro-manage your charging habits. All of this has been taken into account by the battery and software engineers. These aren’t the same batteries you used 10 years ago.
It is still much hotter than conventional cable charging method due to energy loss of having extra coil. Yes, there is regulators built in that slows down charging, but it won't change the fact that it degrades battery faster than the conventional method. At least it's better than playing iphone games while charging. Similarly, if you use magsafe car mount with charging make sure to get one with cooling as you will be running apple carplay or navigational apps. These makes your phone super hot.
But my battery has been 90% for so long, when i started using the MegSafe it dropped to 89% :/… im not sure why honestly, any idea on how to properly use the megsafe?
These are very good tips. I have to admit that my battery health in iPhone SE (1 generation) is 85% after 6 YEARS, so it is manageable to maintain such a good condition of your phone.
@@veneracioniverson3564 Yes, it slows down by a lot after it gets to 80%, and finished 1-2 hours before you wake up. My phone is usually cold to the touch means it isn’t really damaging the battery
Totally agree. We all banded together to get my mum an iPhone 13 Pro for Christmas. I've told her to charge it with the 5W charger that came with her iPhone 7. We've also enabled that optimised battery charging feature which should work well for her as she almost always charges her phone at the same time every day. I'm not a fan of wireless charging at all. I have a wireless charger in my car and only use it if absolutely necessary. Every phone I've tried charging on it (Galaxy S8, iPhone 11 and my now current Galaxy S21) all get pretty hot.
wireless isnt proven to have smarter way of charging. i had my old phone broke its battery cause i kept forgetting that i put it in wireless charger. it stays there maybe 4 to 5 hours max after reaching 100%. it wasnt smart to stop or trickle charge
The issue is the quality of battery since day one even at 100%. Just charge, in middle East it is more than 40C, drop to near red alarm, charge it back to full. No issue at all as battery only last at most 3 to 4 years. If not changing phone, just get the battery replaced. All this tips do not prolong battery life as it is design to fail so you upgrade. Just use your phone and replace the battery when time comes.
Read about this as well. Generally speaking, lithium ion batteries have finite charge cycles. More you fully cycle, the shorter the lifespan of the battery. Constant top up rather than full cycling is optimal. Nothing I own gets below 30% at least before hitting a charge pad or plug.
After doing deep research on rechargeable Battery's I have learned they all need to be recycled properly. This is correct. Do not let it drop to zero & as long as you use it daily, when you get the low Battery power indication, charge it to 100%. This way you are assured to get the Max capacity rating of the Battery & a longer life span.
Great video. Despite how expensive Apple products are the batteries for iPhones are between $50-$70 to have replaced by Apple & if your under AppleCare it’s free. I don’t know why the hell people stress over this. People utterly obsess over battery health, it’s crazy. I can understand if battery replacements costs several hundred dollars or something like that. There’s nothing wrong with checking on it occasionally and learning a few simple charging tips. Don’t leave it in extreme temperatures, don’t drain it to 0% if you can help it & use official chargers. It’s not that complicated. Twisting yourself into knots over a piece of technology that’s going to wear out eventually is not worth the headache. You’ll never get to enjoy technology if you’re spending most of your day babying how you charge your battery.
It's simple: we should be minimizing the amount of waste we produce. Most old iPhone batteries just get tossed, since they are too small to be worth saving. Even if everyone put in the effort to extend their smartphone or smartwatch's battery life for just 1 extra year, it would make a noticeable impact on the amount of batteries ending up in landfills.
I do think it's worth it tbh. It's better to maintain your phone and saves money in the long run or if I end up passing it down to a sibling or sum its not completely trashed. My 14 pro is still at 100 percent battery health.
Lithium charging circuits, without exception, 'test' the battery at intervals to see if it is charged. This 'test' is essentially a momentary short-circuit of the battery while monitoring the battery voltage. While a reliable test, this stresses the battery quite a lot, can lead to heating. The more hours your phone spends on the charger, the more damage you are doing to the battery! Charge to 90%, take it off the charger...but never let them discharge below 20%!
My iPhone XR is 3 y/o this month and battery life is still at 83%, I charge it every night so it goes daily up to 100% but I never let it go down to 0%. Also a remarkable thing to mention is that I play every day (several times a day and for long periods of time) Genshin Impact on it, at a pretty high res and it never lags/overheats while doing so (which is pretty rare seeing what other GI phone players say). It's BY FAR the best and most durable phone I've ever had and I'm extremely satisfied with its battery life even if I don't specially take care of it!
I’ve so far never kept the same iPhone long enough to need a battery replacement.I normally upgrade every year but that could change next year.I feel that the 13 Pro Max is worth keeping at least 2 years,maybe 3.
I have the shortcut set up like that when the iPhone goes down to 20 it will say it or then if im charging it and it reaches 80 it will also notifies me its a great tool try it
I use a Wi-Fi plug for my charger and have it set to only charge my phone for a certain amount of time while I’m sleeping so it doesn’t stay charging all night. Been using it for a year now and my battery health is still at 100%
I only charge my 11 Pro Max with the 5W Charger (wired) every night with optimised charging enabled. My iPhone still has 95% Battery Health after more than two years. I never let it drop below 10% charge.
Great info. Prior to this video, I thought upgrading to a new iPhone every year, like Apple wants you to, was the only sure way of preserving battery life.
Almost the same for me, but I have a regular Iphone 11 and the max battery health is 88%. I wonder what has caused that 2% difference... Doesnt really matter just would be interesting to know :)
I generally use optimized charging, and charge overnight with the fast charger. Started this with my 12 Pro, purchased 11/20. Battery was great for the first 6 months. Then, battery health started dropping. Battery never got discharged below 40%. After 11 months, I was down to 90% capacity, then..it started dropping 1% every 8-12 days! Da fuq? This after updating to IOS14xxx. Something was wrong. Decided to take advantage of AT&T generous trade in, and got me a 13Pro Max. Had it 6 weeks now - battery is way stronger, and capacity is still 100%.
My iPhone 11 is at 90% and I’ve had it since launch day, almost 2.5 years. No special treatment with regard to charging etc. Just charge your phone when it needs it.
I’ve had my iPhone XR from New back in Late June of 2020, and the Battery Health is at a reasonably good 92% now. I’ve always made sure NEVER to let get too warm. and I have never used a dodgy charger!
I bought my iPhone 13 Pro after about 2-3 weeks that it came out ( mid october ). Today is April 26 and it is at 100% of battery health. I constantly keep my iPhone cool by taking the back cover off time to time ( expecially when charging, always take off the cover when you are charging the phone ) fanning at it with my lungs and by fanning some air with the back cover so that the phone temperature is lower than the temperature of my lips. Most of the times i keep the battery between 40 and 75% ( sometimes it goes to 34-35% and sometimes it happens that i charge it to 80%, but hardly ever higher than that ). I use the low power mode very often, expecially when gaming ( i play Cod Mobile very much ), with the low power mode this phone never heats up but because the A15 chipset is very powerful, you will not get performance drops if you are in low power mode ( except not having 120hz refresh rate on the screen ) and just when i normally use it sometimes i turn on the low power mode to save some battery and to prevent the heating ( with fanning on it time to time ). Just try to keep the temperature of the phone cool at all the times ( although it happened to me sometimes that it got hot ) and your phone will be fine. Don’t leave it under direct sunlight or inside the hot car. Try to turn on the low power mode when you are using something that can cause the heating of the phone ( i notice that when i watch the Instagram reels and i am not in low power mode it heats up pretty much ). Just be constantly aware of the temperature, love your phone and don’t let it get warm and you will be great. I know that some people don’t want to lose their time to do this but if your goal is to keep your phone as perfect as possible you have to put some effort. May God bless all of you in Jesus’ powerful name🙏🏻
I have a 13 Pro, I use the Apple 5W power brick with an Anker Mi-Fi certified cord to charge the phone at night with optimized battery charging on. That is the best way I feel.
@@fxmahatmamahardika4617 I go to bed around 11 and wake up at 7 and its at 100%, however optimized battery charging will leave the phone at 80% until about 5AM then charge to 100% the last 2 hours slowly to preserve the battery
@@fxmahatmamahardika4617 If I wanted fast charging I would use the 20W power adapter and turn off optimized charging... but I am sleeping for 8 hours or more so I don't need fast charging. Never had an issue.
I’m so reassured because I use to charge it every time the battery is at 70-80-90 so yeah now you don’t have to go to zero to preserve it and I love it !
I have exclusively charged my iPhone 12 with a mag “safe” charger since I got it. I notice that it is quite warm when I take it off. My battery health is at 84% after 13 months. Very dissatisfied and disappointed with mag “safe”. My wife has the same phone and over the same time has port charged hers and is at 90%
@@ld3534 12 series in general never really had amazing battery life. 3600mah in the 12 Pro Max is pretty small. They relied too much on the chipset’s efficiency.
@@brandonczw I agree however people were already in the low 90s in battery health before a year was up. That’s a problem I’ve only seen with the 12 series.
I’ll be careful with overnight charging, but other than that I don’t really care enough to manage it. I spent too much money to not use my phone to its full potential
Absolutely that is correct, i have also my experience with wireless charging , it causes high battery temperature which may damage battery life. I used it with my iPhone x , then with the XsMax , and i used wireless charger which is recommended by Apple (Belkin) .then I decided not to use wireless charging with my iPhone 12pro . The best is to use slow charging to avoid raising the temperature.
i don’t think cuz i’ve been using my 12 pro max for a year using fast charging . still my battery health is 88% and i charged it through the cable. i didn’t use the wireless charger.
@@gamerfox7047 so you agreed that wireless charging causes raising of battery temperature, but for the iPhone 12 and 13 we can charge with 20w charger that is recommended by Apple.
@@hasanal-haidari3531 i agree cuz i used the wireless charger for a week and found that it courses heating my phone while charging. so i used my normal cable with fast charging plug.
@@gamerfox7047 Thats exactly what happened with my mobile but the battery health went down 2% in one week. So the best is what you do now, fast changing with original cable and charger .
I purchased an iPhone 11 in November 2020 and in January 2022 I still have 100% battery health. I have around 4-5 hours screen on time, never let my battery go below 20% and charge my phone every night to 100% using a 20w fast charger no matter the battery percentage
I’ve had my iPhone 13 for 17 months and it’s still at 100% battery capacity. I keep my phone at 100% capacity after two years by keeping my battery percentage between 50%-89%. I never charge past 89%.
@@Maissameissa I use the charging cord that came in the box with a 18w charging block. I only charge my phone to 83%. I don't use background app refresh and limit my notifications to a handful of apps that I actually need them on. Other than that, not much. I use Apple Fitness+ everyday, watch several hours of streaming apps, an occasional game, lots of reddit and it's my primary work phone.
@@matthewdavisson thank you for your advice ! But one more question please how many times a day you charge your phone ? And on average for how many hours do you use it please !!! Thank you sooo much
@@Maissameissa I only charge it right before I go to bed before I fall asleep. I don’t charge overnight. I usually end up using about 50-70% of my battery and that gets me roughly about 10-13 hours of screen usage time.
Mine is a 2-year-old XR at 90% battery. Never played games on it. Mostly used for social, browsing and sometimes for binge-watching web series. Gets a little warm after a 30 min usage. Never let it drop below 20.
recently purchased a 13 Pro and I always keep my battery between 30-80% with Shortcut reminder on those percentage points. I also make sure my phone does not get hot while charging. learned from my 11 experience
iPhone 13 Pro Max 92% battery health 530 cycles. For the most part, you are correct but you don’t go far enough. Do not charge wirelessly do not use fast charging unless you are topping up during the day. Use the old Apple 5 W charger to charge your phone to 100% overnight. There is no need to limit the charge amount since the actual size of the battery is around 10% larger and the buffer is built in. When you charge your phone to 100 you’re actually only charging it to 90% of the actual battery size.
Good recommendations in general, but I'd add: 1) Sometimes our phones do get hot. Whatever you do, don't charge it when it's hot. That just makes it a lot hotter. Wait till you can find a cooler environment, or a time when you're not stressing the phone with a game, etc., before charging. 2) Regarding not letting your battery drop to 0%, this is true, but as I understand it, when your phone says it is at a 0% charge, that is not precisely true. There is a few percent buffer built in so your battery never actually hits 0% before it initiates the shutdown procedure. So I don't worry much about going to "zero". Still, if your phone drops to under 20% or so, and you know you'll need to use it, put it into low-power mode. It'll stretch out the remaining charge a lot. 3) Not storing a phone at 100%: absolutely true. I've even taken to only charging my phone up to 80% or so before turning the charger off unless I know I'll be needing a higher charge soon for a long, GPS-traced hike, for example..
@@GA-wq8xq I agree. Apple has finally made MacOS charge only to 80% if your usage history shows you don't discharge the battery deeply*. I wish they would do the same for iOS. Then, when you know you'll be needing a deeper charge, you just tell it to charge fully. That is how it works on the Mac. * It's not actually working very well. Only occasionally does my Mac suspend charging at 80%. It is still a new feature. Edit: iPhones already do have "optimized charging". This does charge your phone up to just 80% or so when you connect to a charger and go to bed. Then it waits till just before you normally wake up to top off the charge. Better than nothing, but a firmer limit would be even better.
I have the Purple 12, I had it since the release date. Battery life is still @ 100% I use to use wireless charging but it made my phone over heat so now I’m back to the apple charger/cord. Gonna upgrade for the 14. When I go out I also use low power mode to save my battery.
Also change your battery when it's around 35-45% and unplug when it's at 75% When you keep it in between those numbers the battery can last a lot longer than average. I never change to 100% or drop it to less than 35% It also helps that the iphone 13 has excellent battery life overall.
Nope not true You can Charge to 100% but don't drop under 30% that helps battery and Yeah Battery life mostly damages after 2 yrs Then you can replace battery if it's under 80% health most Suggested Battery change is when it's health drop to 70%
My iphone12 mini still has 95%BH, I acquired it way back 4th Quarter 2021. I used it for calls, text, messenger and Gmail. I got a Xiaomi device for heavy gaming, movies and youtube
If we can not charge iPhone to 100%, it should not let charge to the 100% level. Either it should give a kind of "warning" sound before reaching 100% or it should have a mechanism not to charge to 100% by itself even though the charging connection is connected.
I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max purchased on feb 2021, it went down to 99% battery condition like 3 days ago. All I do is to avoid it from going below 45% (only if possible, I’ve drained my battery like twice just because I got home late and didn’t have a charger). I use fast charge, I found out that charging it from 45% doesn’t heat the device as much as charging from a lower level.
That's All... B.S. plugged in charged 100% all day long everyday. Left in the sun over heated where it shut off multiple times. 3 years old and still good.
I honestly didn't know that myself to be honest, I was debating on if I should allow my battery to get to 0% prior to charging since I just upgraded. Thank you for the information I shall make sure I charge it periodically to avoid a total deplete.
I’ve discovered that it also has a lot to do with how you use your phone and consistent drain, like apps in the background. As much as I love iPhone, I like iPad for most of what people are using their phone for.
Seems like fast charging and wireless/MagSafe has been the major battery killers on my iPhone 12, creating a lot of heat. Dropped 1.5%/month in battery health - down to 91% in about six months. When I stopped that and went back to an Apple 5W USB charger and cable the battery health has been pretty stable. Right now at 89%. I don’t get the point of using a fast charger when you charge overnight.
@@exodus58 3 months+ iPhone 13 Pro Max user here from Malaysia which is a humid and hot country incase you didn't know. Been using the MagSafe charger since day 1 from iOS 15 to iOS 15.2 and still remaining at 100% battery health.
@@exodus58 In that case, I will update you in a couple of weeks and hopefully iOS 15.3 will be releasing by that time. Ultimately, the phone is supposed to make our lives easier and its just silly for us to care so much about a component which can simply be replace at any given time.
I usually charge my phone to 80-85% and let it go down to 20-30% The 60& of the battery I daily use get's me though the day just fine, making my battery suffer less. Even if I change phones yearly, I still take care of the battery, as we are all needed to watch for our planet.
Apple ruined the way people use their device when they added all the battery health features to their phones. It's really not that big of a deal to replace the battery on your phone. Use the device how you want, replace the battery when needed.
Wouldnt be an issue if you their phones werent priced like a mortgage. Cause the tendency is that because of the exorbitant price people would be included to take care of it to an extreme, at the expense of actually enjoying the point, worrying about stuff like this
I bought my iphone7 at 2017 and since then I have kept it charging every night from evening to morning.

I had an iPhone 6 Plus which my dad had been using since 2015 (he gave it to me a couple of years ago) and I only got a new phone at the start of the month. The battery capacity was still at 82%
Great video. You cant believe how much flack I get when I try and tell people taking your phone into the sauna is bad for it. Love your simple easy tips.

My iphone 8 plus is 3 yrs old. Most of the time i drain it to zero unintentionally because i forget to charge but the battery health is still 80% for a 3 year old phone so not too bad. I never used any other charger aside from the original cable and adapter from the same box so I think that helped. I’ve heard cheap cables and adapters can make the battery health worse

@@catherineleyva1377 I do not question this. However, 20% is not that good. Normally degrading stops after 10-15% and keeps this level for a long time...but it fits your description of "abuse"
Before I go to work I put my phone on charge for about an hour each day. The battery is usually down around 40 to 50% and it rarely gets charged to 100%. The phone is probably over 2 years old and the battery easily lasts the entire day at work.
My wife only use her iPhone SE for emergency. What is incredible is that the battery life is still 99% after 5 years !!! (It's always turn on, we charge it every 3-4 days)
So you charge your phone every night even when the battery is still at 80/85%? Why? You could last 3/4 days without charging, your battery will last much longer if you charge it less

My XS dropped to 90% within 6 months even if I never used a wireless charger. Ended up keeping battery between 50-80% most of the time and low power mode has always been on.

Did recently buy the 13pro though, wondering if I should even use the 20w charger on the phone because like my XS, I intend on keeping the phone for 3-4 years.
just got the battery replaced on my iPhone XS that I bought shortly after it came out. Taking care of it has really allowed me to get a lot of value from it. :)
It's best to leave your phone at 50% all the time, but that's literally impossible.. So it's recommended to keep it between 40% and 60%. I always charge mine to about 65% - That gives me enough juice to finish the day on about 40-42%. I never use fast charging or charging overnight. I charge my 13 Pro Max with a 5W charger and if absolutely needed, I use a 10W charger. (Which feels fast when I'm used to 5W lol) If I use 10W or above, then I place my phone cooler on it so it cools down the battery. Ok, now when I read it myself, I finally realize that I need a real hobby... ;-;
I have got my iPhone 12 for 10 months now already and I am charging it every night to 100%. Still got a maximum capacity of 99%. So everything is fine.
One day I left my phone in my car and the sun moved and was on it for 2 hours and it overheated and dropped my battery health all the way down to 82% health. I’ve had it for 3 weeks…😭
poor thing i know how hard that feels people with the same phone as me commented saying after 2 years the capacity of the battery is at more than 87 percent...
I've got a Sony Xperia M2 that was built in August 2015 that is till goung strong as far as the battery is concerned - but then I don;t play with the thing all day !
If the battery will be used as 0-100% - it'll be slowly dying. If you'll use it as 20-80% - it'll also be slowly dying. If you won't use it at all, and put it on a shelf - it'll be slowly dying as well. So, don't think about it too much, and just ... use your devices. One thing kills your batteries quicker than others - it's the fast chargers. As the rule of thumb, the *safest* current will be 1/10 _(1/6 max)_ based on your cell's capacity _(close to 1A max for ~5000mAh cells, for example)._ Even the desulfation process _(on the car batteries)_ is done on a lowest possible current for the same reason. =) The slower you charge your batteries - the better their condition will be over time.
Everybody gives difference battery advice and even specific to the iPhone. You didn't go into too many things and I'm pretty sure that draining the battery all the way and storing it at 100% and certainly heat are not good. For other specifics, Apple says charge it whenever you want and their management system handles it. Other people give you all this stuff like keeping it between 80% and 75% and other stick your left foot in your right ear while the other is in your mouth types of things. Everybody claims to know the most about it.
Ehhh, I’d argue if you’re using a slow/standard charger (5w), that’s better to charge while using. Why? Well, let’s say your battery is at 50% and you’ll be charging it for 1 hour, and it normally takes that amount of time to charge to 80. But while you’re using it, it would take 2 hours maybe. So, you’ve made that 30% last longer, using less cycle life. Something I’ve noticed is when I’m on a video call with friends, and I have my phone on a 5w wireless charging stand, the battery seems to barely go up or down, it stayed at about 75% the whole time we talked (which was a couple hours). So it’s better to let the battery go down then go up? Not really, because that’s using more cycle life, as I said
@@halami2149 I get the logic you follow but Cycle is when you charge up to 100 and then drain down to 0. So if you follow the suggestion to charge up to ~80 and drain down to ~20, cycles shouldn’t bother it. Another thing, you don’t want the battery or the phone to heat up. That decreases the battery life span in general. But that’s what happens when you use it while it’s charging, it heats up abnormally.
@@sleepless51 My phone doesn’t get hot when I’m using my 5W charger, it might if I was playing games. But charge cycles are still being counted when doing normal charges. Going from 100 down to 50 and then doing that again is a full cycle, since it’s 50% being used twice, equaling 100%. That’s what I mean by cycles. Going from 0-100 is a full cycle, but it’s not the only thing that counts towards the overall cycle count
I spend lots of time in very hot desert conditions. Sometimes up to 43c or 110f. I guess I could try digging a little hole and burying my phone to keep it cool lol.
No. Sorry, but this doesn't do anything. When your phone is idle on the charger those radios are active only when performing background tasks. The battery management system and systems managing wireless signals are smarter than that.
My XR only dropped to below 90% health after 2 years of use. I got it since launch and it’s now dropped to 82 and it’s about time I change the battery.
Too much love to your battery will kill its life. I've been using a 11Pro Max for 2years and it's still 100% Health. I can still use it for a day without charging it. This is Just one tip for who doesn't want to believe. Don't love you battery. Just enjoy using it! There's no special treatment for them.
@@zaimaziz6412 there's a lot myth about of charging. Someone says that don't charge it overnight or more often. Someone says that charge it below 50% or more. But i really don't care. I'm just going in the flow
How to not damage your phone battery: 1: Don't charge your battery 2: Don't discharge your battery 3:Don't battery the battery's battery 4: Don't And because AppleInsider didn't explicitly say anything about not stabbing the battery with a pen or other sharp object, I think it's a safe assumption that's not only perfectly safe for said battery (and user) , but in fact the only proper means of using one. I shall now blindly follow this assumption on all of my devices moving forward.
How about just telling people to just enjoy their devices? Apple charges like $70 to replace a battery. If in 4-5 years your iPhone battery needs replacing get a new battery.
I’m amazed that in an age where so much information is readily available at everyone’s fingertips there is so much misinformation about everything. Even things that are based on hard science and not subject to opinion are misrepresented. Part of this is due to changes in technology over time, but also people’s propensity to regurgitate nonsense they’ve heard as fact, but don’t know to be a fact themselves. To some degree this is because on subjects we know little about we have to rely on “The Experts” and the world is full of them apparently… And don’t even get me started on the Medical community, Nutritionists or Climate experts.
Life’s too short to worry about a phone battery, just replace the battery
Best comment 😎 I charge my phone anytime I feel like it with my wireless and fast chargers. Battery health on paper is at 81% but my phone lasts all day. If my battery starts really degrading I just get a new battery.
I fuckin changed my battery at 80 percent after 2 years exact ! And yeaaahhhh boi I got 100 percent battery Healh now
One thing more ! No matter how much you prevent your battery health to deplete, it will deplete no matter what
Even apple says for 2 years your battery health will reach to 80 so don’t ponder so much on this issue just get your battery replaced and use it tension free
Also I would suggest all those iPhone users using wireless charger and fast charging stop it 🛑 just use slow charging , which actually works to preserve your battery 🔋

Yesssir!!
1. Avoid hot temperatures
2. Charge phone during the day and don’t let it drop to 0%
3. Do not charge phone to 100% if you’r going to store it

Mad respect ✊
Got my first iPhone in April. Have watched tons of videos about battery health. It all came to hot temperatures/overheating. I been putting mine on a cooling fan while it fast charges/updates. Works for me
What’s your battery life now 🤔🤔
May I know what is ur battery health now?
100% agree. I’ve been doing all this for years. When I sold my xs max, the battery health was 89% after three years. That’s alright I think.
That's good! my 11 pro max battery hit that in 2yrs of use.
@@ChristopherBong I think heat is a big thing. That’s one of the reasons I never got a wireless charger. I mostly use a 12w iPad one. Only when I’m in a rush I use the 20w Anker Nano. And I charge whenever I can. The battery never goes below 20%.
This is a good video to follow.
Good for battery health between 80-90% and best for sometimes 100% for road trip far away I think that’s alright. Do not too often 100%. I personally use 80 and sometimes 95% balance.
I lost 3% in 2 month
Mine was at 65% health. I use my phone for work and play
Believe it or not, my grandpa had owned an iPhone SE since November of last year. And somehow he’s managed to keep his battery capacity up at 100 for a whole entire year. And I believe he still has it up at 100 because he doesn’t have a whole lot of apps or games, and only uses his phone for calling, texting, RUclips, and a little bit of games.
This may help out a lot if you don’t use your phone as often as others.
Hope this helped 😊
I think it’s so important to tell people not to leave their phone battery sink right down to 0% before charging. Used to do this allll the time and honestly I didn’t know we weren’t supposed to go that anymore! Now I charge it whenever
So should i charge when its at 30-40?
@@Logic_igno charge it when it’s 20
Also, putting your phone on a MagSafe charger will not cause the phone to heat up too much. There are temperature regulators built in the hardware and software of both the charger and the phone. If the phone begins to heat up too much, the phone will slow down the current of the charge, allowing the temperature to decrease. Usually, if you just let your phone charge, and you don’t use it while charging, the temperature is fine. And you don’t need to micro-manage your charging habits. All of this has been taken into account by the battery and software engineers. These aren’t the same batteries you used 10 years ago.
wireless charging causes the most damage to your battery :/
Facts
It is still much hotter than conventional cable charging method due to energy loss of having extra coil.
Yes, there is regulators built in that slows down charging, but it won't change the fact that it degrades battery faster than the conventional method.
At least it's better than playing iphone games while charging.
Similarly, if you use magsafe car mount with charging make sure to get one with cooling as you will be running apple carplay or navigational apps.
These makes your phone super hot.
It will only stop charging after 80 percentage when its hot
But my battery has been 90% for so long, when i started using the MegSafe it dropped to 89% :/… im not sure why honestly, any idea on how to properly use the megsafe?
These are very good tips. I have to admit that my battery health in iPhone SE (1 generation) is 85% after 6 YEARS, so it is manageable to maintain such a good condition of your phone.
Omg how you did that?
@L • yes what’s wrong
Tips please
damn my 1st gen iPhone SE is at like 65% battery health after 4.5 years lol
My old iPhone 6s was at 67% capacity after 3 years
Still have 91% battery health after 2.5 years. I never run the battery down below 10%, unless totally unavoidable. Do charge overnight though
Charging overnight is completely fine as long as you have “Optimised Battery Charging” feature turned on in Settings.
Charging up to 100% everynight is okay?
@@veneracioniverson3564 Yes, it slows down by a lot after it gets to 80%, and finished 1-2 hours before you wake up. My phone is usually cold to the touch means it isn’t really damaging the battery

Totally agree. We all banded together to get my mum an iPhone 13 Pro for Christmas. I've told her to charge it with the 5W charger that came with her iPhone 7. We've also enabled that optimised battery charging feature which should work well for her as she almost always charges her phone at the same time every day.
I'm not a fan of wireless charging at all. I have a wireless charger in my car and only use it if absolutely necessary. Every phone I've tried charging on it (Galaxy S8, iPhone 11 and my now current Galaxy S21) all get pretty hot.
wireless isnt proven to have smarter way of charging. i had my old phone broke its battery cause i kept forgetting that i put it in wireless charger. it stays there maybe 4 to 5 hours max after reaching 100%. it wasnt smart to stop or trickle charge

1. Avoid using your in high temperature 🌡
2. Don’t let your battery drop down to zero. 0️⃣
3. Don't charge your phone to 100%
Who stores a phone?
The issue is the quality of battery since day one even at 100%. Just charge, in middle East it is more than 40C, drop to near red alarm, charge it back to full. No issue at all as battery only last at most 3 to 4 years. If not changing phone, just get the battery replaced. All this tips do not prolong battery life as it is design to fail so you upgrade. Just use your phone and replace the battery when time comes.
Read about this as well. Generally speaking, lithium ion batteries have finite charge cycles. More you fully cycle, the shorter the lifespan of the battery. Constant top up rather than full cycling is optimal.
Nothing I own gets below 30% at least before hitting a charge pad or plug.
So what should Charge from 30 to 80
This is news to me that I should avoid allowing the phone to drop to zero before recharging. Thanks for the tip.
U have a lot to learn son.
After doing deep research on rechargeable Battery's I have learned they all need to be recycled properly. This is correct. Do not let it drop to zero & as long as you use it daily, when you get the low Battery power indication, charge it to 100%. This way you are assured to get the Max capacity rating of the Battery & a longer life span.
Great video. Despite how expensive Apple products are the batteries for iPhones are between $50-$70 to have replaced by Apple & if your under AppleCare it’s free. I don’t know why the hell people stress over this. People utterly obsess over battery health, it’s crazy. I can understand if battery replacements costs several hundred dollars or something like that. There’s nothing wrong with checking on it occasionally and learning a few simple charging tips. Don’t leave it in extreme temperatures, don’t drain it to 0% if you can help it & use official chargers. It’s not that complicated. Twisting yourself into knots over a piece of technology that’s going to wear out eventually is not worth the headache. You’ll never get to enjoy technology if you’re spending most of your day babying how you charge your battery.
It's simple: we should be minimizing the amount of waste we produce. Most old iPhone batteries just get tossed, since they are too small to be worth saving. Even if everyone put in the effort to extend their smartphone or smartwatch's battery life for just 1 extra year, it would make a noticeable impact on the amount of batteries ending up in landfills.
@@beanapprentice1687OMG go hug a tree
I do think it's worth it tbh. It's better to maintain your phone and saves money in the long run or if I end up passing it down to a sibling or sum its not completely trashed. My 14 pro is still at 100 percent battery health.
Lithium charging circuits, without exception, 'test' the battery at intervals to see if it is charged.
This 'test' is essentially a momentary short-circuit of the battery while monitoring the battery voltage.
While a reliable test, this stresses the battery quite a lot, can lead to heating.
The more hours your phone spends on the charger, the more damage you are doing to the battery!
Charge to 90%, take it off the charger...but never let them discharge below 20%!
My iPhone XR is 3 y/o this month and battery life is still at 83%, I charge it every night so it goes daily up to 100% but I never let it go down to 0%. Also a remarkable thing to mention is that I play every day (several times a day and for long periods of time) Genshin Impact on it, at a pretty high res and it never lags/overheats while doing so (which is pretty rare seeing what other GI phone players say). It's BY FAR the best and most durable phone I've ever had and I'm extremely satisfied with its battery life even if I don't specially take care of it!
Nice

I bought my iPhone 13 Pro after about 2-3 weeks that it came out ( mid october ). Today is April 26 and it is at 100% of battery health. I constantly keep my iPhone cool by taking the back cover off time to time ( expecially when charging, always take off the cover when you are charging the phone ) fanning at it with my lungs and by fanning some air with the back cover so that the phone temperature is lower than the temperature of my lips. Most of the times i keep the battery between 40 and 75% ( sometimes it goes to 34-35% and sometimes it happens that i charge it to 80%, but hardly ever higher than that ). I use the low power mode very often, expecially when gaming ( i play Cod Mobile very much ), with the low power mode this phone never heats up but because the A15 chipset is very powerful, you will not get performance drops if you are in low power mode ( except not having 120hz refresh rate on the screen ) and just when i normally use it sometimes i turn on the low power mode to save some battery and to prevent the heating ( with fanning on it time to time ). Just try to keep the temperature of the phone cool at all the times ( although it happened to me sometimes that it got hot ) and your phone will be fine. Don’t leave it under direct sunlight or inside the hot car. Try to turn on the low power mode when you are using something that can cause the heating of the phone ( i notice that when i watch the Instagram reels and i am not in low power mode it heats up pretty much ). Just be constantly aware of the temperature, love your phone and don’t let it get warm and you will be great. I know that some people don’t want to lose their time to do this but if your goal is to keep your phone as perfect as possible you have to put some effort. May God bless all of you in Jesus’ powerful name🙏🏻
You’ve turned owning a phone into a part time job. It’s like 80 bucks to replace it. Apple has programs that automatically extend battery life.

For the most part, you are correct but you don’t go far enough. Do not charge wirelessly do not use fast charging unless you are topping up during the day. Use the old Apple 5 W charger to charge your phone to 100% overnight. There is no need to limit the charge amount since the actual size of the battery is around 10% larger and the buffer is built in. When you charge your phone to 100 you’re actually only charging it to 90% of the actual battery size.
Good recommendations in general, but I'd add:
1) Sometimes our phones do get hot. Whatever you do, don't charge it when it's hot. That just makes it a lot hotter. Wait till you can find a cooler environment, or a time when you're not stressing the phone with a game, etc., before charging.
2) Regarding not letting your battery drop to 0%, this is true, but as I understand it, when your phone says it is at a 0% charge, that is not precisely true. There is a few percent buffer built in so your battery never actually hits 0% before it initiates the shutdown procedure. So I don't worry much about going to "zero". Still, if your phone drops to under 20% or so, and you know you'll need to use it, put it into low-power mode. It'll stretch out the remaining charge a lot.
3) Not storing a phone at 100%: absolutely true. I've even taken to only charging my phone up to 80% or so before turning the charger off unless I know I'll be needing a higher charge soon for a long, GPS-traced hike, for example..
Apple need to have a setting to allow the phone to recharge overnight to 80%
@@GA-wq8xq I agree. Apple has finally made MacOS charge only to 80% if your usage history shows you don't discharge the battery deeply*. I wish they would do the same for iOS. Then, when you know you'll be needing a deeper charge, you just tell it to charge fully. That is how it works on the Mac.
* It's not actually working very well. Only occasionally does my Mac suspend charging at 80%. It is still a new feature.
Edit: iPhones already do have "optimized charging". This does charge your phone up to just 80% or so when you connect to a charger and go to bed. Then it waits till just before you normally wake up to top off the charge. Better than nothing, but a firmer limit would be even better.

Great tips! I thought Apple recommended letting your iPhone battery go down to 0%, or at least 10% once a month to keep it calibrated.
They do
They want you to buy a new one. They only care about their sales.
If we can not charge iPhone to 100%, it should not let charge to the 100% level. Either it should give a kind of "warning" sound before reaching 100% or it should have a mechanism not to charge to 100% by itself even though the charging connection is connected.

I’ve discovered that it also has a lot to do with how you use your phone and consistent drain, like apps in the background. As much as I love iPhone, I like iPad for most of what people are using their phone for.
Seems like fast charging and wireless/MagSafe has been the major battery killers on my iPhone 12, creating a lot of heat. Dropped 1.5%/month in battery health - down to 91% in about six months. When I stopped that and went back to an Apple 5W USB charger and cable the battery health has been pretty stable. Right now at 89%. I don’t get the point of using a fast charger when you charge overnight.
i have been using my iphone 13 pro for 3/4 months now, and i have used the fast charger every time and i am still at 100 percent battery health
@@nawrouzzz Do a software update, and see it drop.
@@exodus58 3 months+ iPhone 13 Pro Max user here from Malaysia which is a humid and hot country incase you didn't know. Been using the MagSafe charger since day 1 from iOS 15 to iOS 15.2 and still remaining at 100% battery health.
@@Lawrence94 My 12 started to drop around the end of 4th month. 20W Fast charger everytime.
@@exodus58 In that case, I will update you in a couple of weeks and hopefully iOS 15.3 will be releasing by that time. Ultimately, the phone is supposed to make our lives easier and its just silly for us to care so much about a component which can simply be replace at any given time.
I just installed the new iOS 17.2 and my battery doesn’t last much like I used to now I have to charge my iPhone twice a day.
I usually charge my phone to 80-85% and let it go down to 20-30%
The 60& of the battery I daily use get's me though the day just fine, making my battery suffer less. Even if I change phones yearly, I still take care of the battery, as we are all needed to watch for our planet.
Well you are doing more damage to your battery by doing that per apple. How does it feel to be an idiot.
@@darth_kal-el elaborate?
this is Rookie numbers, i am rocking Note 9 nearly 4 years now and never changed battery once. still going strong :)
Apple ruined the way people use their device when they added all the battery health features to their phones. It's really not that big of a deal to replace the battery on your phone. Use the device how you want, replace the battery when needed.
Everyone isn’t careless like u sir.
Wouldnt be an issue if you their phones werent priced like a mortgage. Cause the tendency is that because of the exorbitant price people would be included to take care of it to an extreme, at the expense of actually enjoying the point, worrying about stuff like this
Nice work!!!
Short video!
Ppl make upto 10 minute and talk so much
Ur a legend for this man 🙌🔥
I bought my iphone7 at 2017 and since then I have kept it charging every night from evening to morning. My battery health is 73% and even tho it recommends to change the battery it still holds all day with my use. It has never been changed before, nor do I use it outside much and rarely it drops to 0%.
you lucky then cause I had issue with battery on 7plus it could barely hold a day but it depends on how much you use and screen time
@@slavonijacro I have heard some people having problems with iphone 7 batteries, it was propably the biggest flaw in the model. My avarage screentime per day is about 2h30min-3h. It seems that I am able to use this phone until it gets no support anymore.
I had an iPhone 6 Plus which my dad had been using since 2015 (he gave it to me a couple of years ago) and I only got a new phone at the start of the month. The battery capacity was still at 82%
Great video. You cant believe how much flack I get when I try and tell people taking your phone into the sauna is bad for it. Love your simple easy tips.
I’ve got an iPhone 6 something - had it 6 years never replaced the battery. Use it constantly charge it when it gets to about 20% and it tells me when it’s charged. I hate learning new technology so won’t get a new phone until this one dies.
My iphone 8 plus is 3 yrs old. Most of the time i drain it to zero unintentionally because i forget to charge but the battery health is still 80% for a 3 year old phone so not too bad. I never used any other charger aside from the original cable and adapter from the same box so I think that helped. I’ve heard cheap cables and adapters can make the battery health worse
That's actually quite bad I would say... my father's iPhone 7 still has 84% (57 mo) my iPhone 8 86% (49 mo)...
@@TheEcoWin i can go to work and come home without needing to charge so it’s good for me. Also i have used and abused this phone on LTE the entire 3 yrs so Im not complaining.
@@catherineleyva1377 I do not question this. However, 20% is not that good. Normally degrading stops after 10-15% and keeps this level for a long time...but it fits your description of "abuse"
Before I go to work I put my phone on charge for about an hour each day. The battery is usually down around 40 to 50% and it rarely gets charged to 100%. The phone is probably over 2 years old and the battery easily lasts the entire day at work.
My wife only use her iPhone SE for emergency. What is incredible is that the battery life is still 99% after 5 years !!! (It's always turn on, we charge it every 3-4 days)
I think if it does get used it’ll degrade much quicker due to battery age. Eventually catches up
thats normal. the more you charge the more battery health reduced
WTF 😂😂😂
And she used ipad just for home monitor right?👍
Stop the cap
still using an iphone 6 since the week it dropped and i checked its battery tonight and its on 84 low mad proud
With my 13 pro max I typically only use 15-20% of the battery from 4am to 10pm daily and charge nightly.
So you charge your phone every night even when the battery is still at 80/85%? Why? You could last 3/4 days without charging, your battery will last much longer if you charge it less
@@jonnygti you shouldve ask him why does he need a smartphone? based on his usage. he rarely use his phone. if hes only texting and calling maybe 4 to 5x in one day as routine then he couldve gotten regular flip oldschool phones😂
@@당신은더미입니다 yes a Nokia 3210 with 6 days battery life 😂
@@jonnygti You watch / didn’t listen to the video.
Guess we should just enjoy using it without that much of concern on that battery health. Replace it when it should be. Never had issues with android but now I’m converting to iPhone 12 since July 21 n still got 100%.
so true
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m getting my new phone soon and I don’t want to do anything wrong but I do have a question! At which percentage should I start to charge my phone?? My best friend always says to do it at 20-25%
I have the same question. Did you find an answer?
@@jimgamesgr7710 sadly no :(
Can I charge my iPhone up to 100% then charge it when it hits 10%? Or shall I chage it from 10 all the way to 80%.? Because I’mmma be using my phone quite often x
My XS dropped to 90% within 6 months even if I never used a wireless charger.
Ended up keeping battery between 50-80% most of the time and low power mode has always been on. My XS is now 3.5 years old and battery capacity is 78%.
Did recently buy the 13pro though, wondering if I should even use the 20w charger on the phone because like my XS, I intend on keeping the phone for 3-4 years.
Hi does your xs battery still support the normal peak performance? Also mine dropped from 84% to 80% in less than a month is that normal?
@@mrlebanon6055 it does!
just got the battery replaced on my iPhone XS that I bought shortly after it came out. Taking care of it has really allowed me to get a lot of value from it. :)
It's best to leave your phone at 50% all the time, but that's literally impossible.. So it's recommended to keep it between 40% and 60%. I always charge mine to about 65% - That gives me enough juice to finish the day on about 40-42%. I never use fast charging or charging overnight. I charge my 13 Pro Max with a 5W charger and if absolutely needed, I use a 10W charger. (Which feels fast when I'm used to 5W lol)
If I use 10W or above, then I place my phone cooler on it so it cools down the battery.
Ok, now when I read it myself, I finally realize that I need a real hobby... ;-;
Keeping it at 80 percent is optimal and never letting battery drop below 20 percent apart from One a month full drain ..
@@97shane No. If you are going to store a phone for longer periods of time, then it’s best to leave it at 50%
You are absolutely crazy dude 😂
@@richrancy I literally have no idea. 😂🤷🏼♂️
bro just enjoy ur phone my guy and replace ur battery in some years. its not even that expensive and not worth all this
I have got my iPhone 12 for 10 months now already and I am charging it every night to 100%. Still got a maximum capacity of 99%. So everything is fine.
One day I left my phone in my car and the sun moved and was on it for 2 hours and it overheated and dropped my battery health all the way down to 82% health. I’ve had it for 3 weeks…😭
poor thing i know how hard that feels people with the same phone as me commented saying after 2 years the capacity of the battery is at more than 87 percent...
I got my iPhone 11 in September 2021, it’s now July 11. My battery health is at 86%, I am terrible at this
I love my XR’s batter backup even though background app refresh is turned on… it’s pretty decent for a normal user…
I've got a Sony Xperia M2 that was built in August 2015 that is till goung strong as far as the battery is concerned - but then I don;t play with the thing all day !
If the battery will be used as 0-100% - it'll be slowly dying. If you'll use it as 20-80% - it'll also be slowly dying. If you won't use it at all, and put it on a shelf - it'll be slowly dying as well.
So, don't think about it too much, and just ... use your devices.
One thing kills your batteries quicker than others - it's the fast chargers. As the rule of thumb, the *safest* current will be 1/10 _(1/6 max)_ based on your cell's capacity _(close to 1A max for ~5000mAh cells, for example)._ Even the desulfation process _(on the car batteries)_ is done on a lowest possible current for the same reason. =)
The slower you charge your batteries - the better their condition will be over time.
What about overcharging it when u go to bed and it’s plug in ? At 100
Everybody gives difference battery advice and even specific to the iPhone. You didn't go into too many things and I'm pretty sure that draining the battery all the way and storing it at 100% and certainly heat are not good. For other specifics, Apple says charge it whenever you want and their management system handles it. Other people give you all this stuff like keeping it between 80% and 75% and other stick your left foot in your right ear while the other is in your mouth types of things. Everybody claims to know the most about it.
Just got the 16 Pro. Thank you!!
Another tip: Don't use the phone while it's charging.
Ehhh, I’d argue if you’re using a slow/standard charger (5w), that’s better to charge while using. Why? Well, let’s say your battery is at 50% and you’ll be charging it for 1 hour, and it normally takes that amount of time to charge to 80. But while you’re using it, it would take 2 hours maybe. So, you’ve made that 30% last longer, using less cycle life. Something I’ve noticed is when I’m on a video call with friends, and I have my phone on a 5w wireless charging stand, the battery seems to barely go up or down, it stayed at about 75% the whole time we talked (which was a couple hours). So it’s better to let the battery go down then go up? Not really, because that’s using more cycle life, as I said
@@halami2149 I get the logic you follow but Cycle is when you charge up to 100 and then drain down to 0. So if you follow the suggestion to charge up to ~80 and drain down to ~20, cycles shouldn’t bother it. Another thing, you don’t want the battery or the phone to heat up. That decreases the battery life span in general. But that’s what happens when you use it while it’s charging, it heats up abnormally.
@@sleepless51 My phone doesn’t get hot when I’m using my 5W charger, it might if I was playing games. But charge cycles are still being counted when doing normal charges. Going from 100 down to 50 and then doing that again is a full cycle, since it’s 50% being used twice, equaling 100%. That’s what I mean by cycles. Going from 0-100 is a full cycle, but it’s not the only thing that counts towards the overall cycle count
I agree because the phone will get hotter especially when you play games
I spend lots of time in very hot desert conditions. Sometimes up to 43c or 110f. I guess I could try digging a little hole and burying my phone to keep it cool lol.
Don't forget where it is
Also dropping your phone can sometimes cause small fractures in the battery core, and thus decrease its capacity. A bouncy case can limit this.
I just never drop my phone 🤷♂️
@@davidjacobs6244 Until you do :-)
Got my iPhone 12 in June 2021 and battery health is still at 100%.I always make sure to keep the charge between 30-80%.
Awesome video! The best way to charge your phone is turn off Bluetooth and Internet connectivity. This will help speed up the charging safely.
No. Sorry, but this doesn't do anything. When your phone is idle on the charger those radios are active only when performing background tasks. The battery management system and systems managing wireless signals are smarter than that.
@@hillitech5351 but apparently not smart enough to prevent “significant degradation “ after one year.
My XR only dropped to below 90% health after 2 years of use. I got it since launch and it’s now dropped to 82 and it’s about time I change the battery.
Too much love to your battery will kill its life. I've been using a 11Pro Max for 2years and it's still 100% Health. I can still use it for a day without charging it. This is Just one tip for who doesn't want to believe. Don't love you battery. Just enjoy using it! There's no special treatment for them.
what i learn from people is dont charge ur phone too freequetly itll reduce the battery health quick
@@zaimaziz6412 there's a lot myth about of charging. Someone says that don't charge it overnight or more often. Someone says that charge it below 50% or more. But i really don't care. I'm just going in the flow
Yhss don’t even check the battery health often
@@jh.5687 Yeah sure after 2 years still 100% keep saying bullshit.
Like ur myth 2 years 100% health apple fanboy detected.
And i use iphone 12 pro max myself.
I’ve never replaced a battery in any iPhone until recently when I replaced my battery in an iPhone 4s which I use for a kitchen timer. 😃
How to not damage your phone battery:
1: Don't charge your battery
2: Don't discharge your battery
3:Don't battery the battery's battery
4: Don't
And because AppleInsider didn't explicitly say anything about not stabbing the battery with a pen or other sharp object, I think it's a safe assumption that's not only perfectly safe for said battery (and user) , but in fact the only proper means of using one. I shall now blindly follow this assumption on all of my devices moving forward.
😂
😂🤣
never said how far to let battery discharge before charging - the question I most wanted answered.
How about just telling people to just enjoy their devices? Apple charges like $70 to replace a battery. If in 4-5 years your iPhone battery needs replacing get a new battery.
the only downside of battery replacement is that ur phone loses its waterproof ability.
@@barrywood8607 you taking a bath with ur phone?? in my 2 years of iphone i never even came close to a situation where my phone was in water at all
Thank you! For this very interesting review. I learned something new.
I’m amazed that in an age where so much information is readily available at everyone’s fingertips there is so much misinformation about everything. Even things that are based on hard science and not subject to opinion are misrepresented. Part of this is due to changes in technology over time, but also people’s propensity to regurgitate nonsense they’ve heard as fact, but don’t know to be a fact themselves. To some degree this is because on subjects we know little about we have to rely on “The Experts” and the world is full of them apparently… And don’t even get me started on the Medical community, Nutritionists or Climate experts.
Awesome tips thank you! :)
