I agree with everything you said except for the part that you can leave your phone overnight ie. Charging to 100%. I understand that most consumers will replace their device every 2 years, so the extra life cycles don't really matter. But charging your phone to, let's say 85-90% instead of 100%, can increase your discharge cycle from 300-500 to 600-1000, essentially doubling the lifespan of your battery. If you want more discharge cycles, avoid fully charging/discharging your device.

This video automatically started playing after I was looking for a back button video. It is so useful. I’m always closing apps to save on battery and then having to open them all again. Your explanation was so simple and I can’t believe how much time I’ve wasted swiping up for nothing, especially when I struggle to swipe up to shut down for some strange reason. So many other great explanations too. Thank you so much. I’ve just left Android but still not sure if I made the correct choice. There’s no paste folder with several paste memories. I have to stretch to top left corner to go back, or other variations depending on the app, unlike a simple task bar along the bottom with back, close etc on android. And a keyboard where you have to tap left or space bar to go to numbers and most used symbols unlike Android all on the same default keyboard. Their are other things too but I just need to get used to it. Thanks again.

if you use a Chargie device for your overnight charging sessions, it will stop charging at whatever % you like and will limit heat-induced damage to your battery by not letting it charge at full speed. Chargie also features a delayed charging function that you can use so that the phone does not stay at high states of charge for long - it tops just before you wake up.

The technique of charging your device when it’s switched off, makes a huge difference in my experience. I have a very well used iPad c 6 years old & when I charge it while switched on, it barely holds the charge…let alone boosts it, but when I turn it off before charging, it charges quite quickly….albeit runs down again quickly, if I don’t keep it powered. I have a fairly new iPhone, so based on this video, I plan to get into the habit of turning that off too….at an appropriate time of day when I’m not expecting calls. Thanks again for a helpful video :- )

its already 2023 (2022 for the video at least) but people still do not understand why "do not leave your phone charging overnight!" is not about the overcharging aspect, but the fact that the ba ttery health or charge cycles diminished when battery is charge aways at full capacity (typical 100% is above 4.2volts), let alone charge or left charge at full capacity overnight. that is why its often can be adviced on some battery-research publications that battery should have a charge between 20%-80% OFCOURSE this does not matter if you change phone every year.

80% used to be true. It still is. But a modern device already handles it by reporting 100% and stopping charging - when the battery in fact is only at 80-85 % The user interface lies to keep it simpler for us. And there is still plenty of power left on the battery after the phone tells you it's at 0% and shuts down.

You can also charge on lower power mode to charge faster too without having to turn it off, but after 80% it automatically charges on regular mode, so you can either keep it on low power mode, or just leave it alone until 100%. Try low power mode charge from 20-80% you'll see the difference. In terms of heat if you can take off your case when charging to reduce heat.

First of all, good thing you're making a video about this. Secondly, I wanna go over some things you mentioned. So, these things don't only apply to iphones they apply to all smartphones but also many tech products like laptops, etc. The charging overnight is definitely bad if the device does not have optimized charging. The reason why is because it will reach 100% stop charging fall to 99% and charge up again to 100% and back and forth. That isn't good for the battery. Next while yes, the batteries are getting better at being customized to our needs is generally better not to let it discharge completely. While it doesn't have major effects on the short term it does affect long term battery life. Extensive full depletion is harmful and is the reason why most phones left aside for long periods while completely discharged have deteriorated bettery life when picked up again.

@@emmeau Yes, I charge my iPhone 13 Pro overnight using the ‘Optimised Battery Charging’ mode switched on and it lasts all day. If I am going out early for a long day of heavy use I take my £20 ‘Battery Case’ just in case it runs low but it is rarely used even on heavy days. I would like to add that the reason my battery is still on 100% after 7-8 months is not because it hasn’t degraded but because of the way Apple reports this. Batteries vary in their initial capacity so Apple states the minimum that the Battery could be when new. My battery was obviously well over that minimum and so Apple will report it as 100% until it has degraded to lower than that minimum. Still great for resale though.

@@emmeau So, the advertised battery for the iPhone 13 Pro is 3095 mAh. They can’t make batteries with precise mAh so that 3095 mAh is the minimum your battery will be. If you get a new iPhone with exactly 3095 mAh you will probably see it’s health percentage drop off slightly under 100% after a month or so. Most iPhones will come with a larger mAh capacity but Apple doesn’t report this as 120% Battery Health or whatever. They just report it at 100% until it degrades to less than 3095 mAh. My iPhone is still at 100% after 8 months so it probably came with a 4500+ mAh battery and has degraded to 4050 mAh or whatever. I will see its reported percentage degrade once it dips under Apple’s minimum reported 3095 mAh which could be next week or in 6 months time depending on how lucky I was in getting a larger capacity (than advertised battery). Hope that’s clear. Your battery is doing pretty well after 6 months use and only dropping 2%!

I want this phone to last longer than my previous one so this video helps a lot this since Apple’s main weak point is the battery health over the years. Good to know that all the habits I have when it comes to charging my phone are so far not damaging it 😊

I got the iPhone 13 promax when it launched a year ago because my iPhone 11 was stuck in a boot loop and the back panel was cracked and I’ve been trying to keep this one in pristine condition and the phone literally looks brand new to people which is a huge compliment, but I’ve been trying to try out new things with my iPhone to keep the battery life nice and the overall phone health nice so i appreciate these types of videos! 👍🏼

I think that "myth" of running the battery down to almost zero before charging was started by me! However that was in the days of NiCad batteries which actually did develop a memory. If, for example, you consistently charged it at 50%, it would get to the point where it wouldn't perform below that 50%. This wasn't just for phones but any cordless tool. Thanks for a great video, I will be sharing it with others.

I don't use my iPhone a lot, so I only charge every 2-3 days. I also have an iPad, going to check the settings on that as well. I love both these devices. My experience with cell phones goes all the way back to the very first Blackberries. I did love the keyboards on those. I still find touchscreen typing a bit awkward, especially when using a foreign language that doesn't have predictive typing. Lots of typos!

Beginner Apple user here, thank you for this useful information! About the "using phone while charging" thing, the usage here can range from simply operating through os to something more extreme like playing mobile games or using camera, which takes a lot of performance out of phone and could often generate lots of heat, and since charging also generates heat this could be bad for the battery health. I often get warning message from phone system if the phone gets too hot and it automatically close other background apps. So while it's okay to use phone while charging , I guess using it moderately is a good precaution?

@stella3635 Жыл бұрын

@@zureai I think he's talking about using the phone while charging, not on a normal usage. The topic of the video is about how to "correctly" charging the iPhone to preserve its battery longevity. Since charging caused heat, the tip to refrain from using the phone while charging (to stop it from using extra energy that leads to more heat) has been circulating, which PHT tackles in the video: it's fine to use your phone while it's charging. However, I think A Tofu also got a point here, while using the phone as it's charging fine, heavy duty tasks (gaming, filming, etc) might hinder charging progress and push the battery further to perform under significant heat-which as PHT stated is the main thing to avoid if we want to preserve the battery longevity as much as possible. :)

Here is an advice: unless u intend to go to the jungle, just use your phone and charge it the way u find most convenient, specially if it has an optimised charging function and your schedule isn't confusing(ex. a night shift worker). What I find annoying is the fact that some sales people apperently still believe the costumer should charge their phone for 24h after getting it. Or at least I heard that advice all the way into the 2010s which is for way too long.

Oh wow . I’ve never heard that before … the version I’ve always been told is to let your phone charge to 100% (when it’s brand new out the box) It apparently has an affect on how long/good your battery life lasts. Idk if it’s true tho 🤷🏻‍♀️

@yvs6663 Жыл бұрын

@@MirandaLaRuee699 it was true of an old battery chemistry but nowadays phones just disconnect themself after reaching 100% so its essentially doing nothing. charging to 100% after a phone has been sitting for a while might not be a bad idea since it helps the phone determine the limits of the battery.

One of the ways I have found to maintain 100% battery health is to start the day with a fully charged phone and then continually top it up, if need be throughout the day. I try not to let it ever drop below 70%. After a bit over a year with my 13 Mini, I’m still at 100 health. Point of clarification: You need to power down your iPhone or iPad after it’s already been plugged in for charging. If you power down first and then plug in, your iOS device will automatically reboot and power on.

@matiasholzman9324 Жыл бұрын

Hi, got a question for your since I got the same 13 mini. Which charger do you use? or, how do you charge it? I only have the 20w charger but saw on different videos that constatly using this fast charger will damage my battery life. Do you think connecting the usb-c to the Mac may cause less damage? Here in Argentina I don't have the chance to get a 5w charger, which it wouldn't overcharge it due to it's lower-time of charging. Thanks in advance!

@stevenwymor1398 Жыл бұрын

@@matiasholzman9324 I mostly use the old Apple USB A 5v 1A 5w charger with a USB A to Lightning cable. Or I use a powered USB 3.0 hub that’s connected to my M1 Mac Mini when I sync and backup my 13 Mini. When I travel, I use one of the newer Anker GaN 30w USB C chargers for both my iPhone and iPad Pro with no detrimental effects to either device. I’m sure the Apple 20w charger is therefore safe to use. The key is to not let your charge drop below 70% and just top it up regularly when you can. Fast charging mostly happens when your battery is low, so if you keep your battery at 70% or greater, it’s only in fast charging mode until it gets to 80% and then slows to the regular charging rate.

@matiasholzman9324 Жыл бұрын

Great! Good to know about the fast-charging time range. I'll try to keep charging it with my USB-C + MacBook in that percentage (from 70% on). It doesn't get as hot as when I plug it to the the 20w charger. I'd obviously prefer to have the 5w charger anyway.. So you kept it with 100% health over a year? Thats awesome. Thanks again

Thank you for this video, very useful and informative as all of your videos seem to be. One question I have is around wireless charging. Given a battery’s sensitivity to heat buildup why is it a good idea to charge your phone wirelessly as opposed to using a wire? I once charged my phone in my brother in law’s Tesla and when he handed it to me after spending some time on the charging pad it was ridiculously hot! I concluded at the time that this didn’t seem to me to be the best way to get a charge in the battery. I understand the desire for less clutter from wires but at what cost?

The overcharging myth I used to believe and I was always afraid I’m damaging my phone but then one day I was using my phone while charging and it got pretty hot as a result. I left it to charge but it was getting progressively hotter the more it was staying plugged in the charger. However the second it was full it started cooling off and that’s when I saw that I was being worried for no reason.
