Omg I’m getting my iPhone 13 in 11 days with all the accessories not only did this video help with decisions, but made me even more excited to get mine!
Very informative, thank you for the video! I'm looking into this video because I'm gonna switch from Samsung to Apple soon which unfortunately they still don't have Usb C, so I was worried about using the Magsafe too much may degrade my battery. It's good to know that it's not always the case.
Actually Magsafe already tried to solve alot of these problem. Thats why they are little slower than other solution from Android world because they dynamically change the charging wattage based on temperature of both the phone and charger, another thing is they also add magnet to align the coils to reduce the waste of power.
My coworker bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which she has on a wireless charger all day, about six months ago and her battery health is now at 92% which to me seems kind of low for a phone that old. Another coworker who has had an iPhone 12 mini for about four months and who uses the cable to charge has 100% battery health.
That is a very unreliable claim because battery health is also dependant to the user’s usage and his/her charging habit. If you use a lot of performance heavy apps, the phone will heat up very easily hence it will degrade your battery health much faster no matter which charging option you go. There are a lot of combinations we can do here but the optimal usage is most probably using low performance dependent apps and also constantly using low power wireless charger between 20 - 80% because you will easily hit 100% when using the cable, unless you have a complete confidence that you will always pull out your cable before 90%.
@@MrMartis913 it is unreliable because you do not provide any context. The only information you gave is your coworker used wireless charging for six months and it drops to 92%. You didn’t gave informations like how frequent they charge their phones per day or their apps usage which hugely impacts their battery health. Your claim is absolutely stupid and not worth to take note for. Edit: grammar
@@mocha6315 It’s funny how you say “not worth to take note for” and yet here you are taking note of it. I did say she has her phone on the charger “all day” but no, I didn’t state her app usage because I don’t know it and I don’t need to know it. My first comment was essentially a hypothesis, not a conclusion, which you seem to have difficulty understanding. You said my claim was “absolutely stupid”. There is no reason to be rude. I’m sorry you can’t get laid, but don’t take it out on me.
it's the opposite for me, I quit using a USB charger and keep my phone on a Samsung wireless charger most of the day everyday and after 2 Years my battery life and performance is almost as good as it was brand new.
I have purchased an aftermarket wireless dock, but still using my 5mAh charging brick from apple store. Don't think I get the full 15w fast charging, but it still charges pretty fast. Think I'll test with cable, but I doubt I can get the full 15w charge using this brick so I think I'm technically not "fast-charging" the phone. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong. Have an iPhone 13 Mini
Nice..ive been charging my phone slowly on the wireless charger...and fast charge on cable... what about the best percentage to charge between..i usually charge the phone from 40% to about 90ish %.. seems to be good?
@@Techformative557 thanks for your help! Now I can decide on returning it. I was hoping the problem might change for the 13 pro max however it’s still the same.
Sure! yeah I wish it woulda not overheated but a lot of high watt chargers are like that..the Magsafe is abit worse tho...wireless charging above 12W will heat up nevertheless...my 12 Pro Max is still at %100 health cause I always slow charge it
Interesting thanks. Quick question though: does it impact taking the phone off and on the MagSafe charger ? I use the MagSafe thing as a holder for the phone. If I go to the kitchen or feed the cat I remove the phone from it. So over a day I probably ‘start’ a charge about ten times. Does that impact battery life ? I’d be curious to have a video about car charging… I’ve heard a couple of times car’s power outlet aren’t super consistent in the power flow and that could hurt devices.
Hello bro , nyc video and info , but now I am purchasing 15 pro max so it's charger is itself 30 watt so using 23 watt wireless charger will damage it's battery or not pls reply 🙏🏻
Can frequent, short charging damage/degrade battery faster? Like I put a phone on a wireless charger for 15min, get a text message, pick the phone up, respond, put the phone down on the charger and so on for 8 hours (let's say at work).
i wonder the same. I want to put a wireless charger on my desk. This way my phone will never fall below 20% and i will do my best to not charge it to %100. They say this is the best way to preserve battery life. So having wireless charger is both easier to charge and comfortable but also it is good for battery health.
I'll never trust any wireless chargers. Even Magsafe. I charge mine with wire, when it's on 30% and then take it off when it's on 80%. That maximises the battery health. I don't mind the wired charging. I just hope one day, they do the same charging style as their macbooks. Where it magnetically goes into the charging port. That would be almost as effortless as the current magsafe for iPhones. They now have a new magsafe charger that's 25w, which charges your phone as fast as the wired charging
I just brought a 15-watt wireless duo charger from Samsung 2 days back. I'm using a Samsung note 20 ultra phone. The wireless charger comes with a 25-watt wall charger adapter just like my phone which even out of the box has a 25-watt wall charger adapter to plug in. Due to the Usage of the Samsung wireless charger Will degrade my phone's battery or not? Since it's manufactured by Samsung do I need to worry? One more doubt is for a 15-watt wireless charger why does Samsung give 25-watt wall charger adapter?
so I'm using the Samsung s22+ with Samsung 15w wireless charger I think I'm good as far as I understand from your video Also in summer now the phone is warm but not heating hehe thanks for the info :)
@@almerammar8601 good camera, NFC, wireless charging, windows hello. And it was brand new for £15. But im buying a surface duo soon as I tested it out in Microsoft London and proved amazing!
2:21 - charge cycles isn't just about going from 0-100. It is any time the battery cycles from charging>use/discharging>charging. That's why older NiMH/NiCd trickle chargers destroyed Li-based batteries, because it continually tops out the battery as soon as "charge" is spent or lost. So a wireless charger repeatedly charging your phone from 100%>99>100>99 eats up charge cycles... and so is placing it on the dock, using it for a minute, placing it back on the dock, check your text, place it back, etc.
Charging more often does not equal less cycles because two half charges will still equal one charge or one cycle but it could still be better for the battery overtime.
@@wajih228 Without getting too technical: rechargable batteries "rest" at 50%. 0% and 100% are the two most stressful states. Think of a battery as your stomach -- you won't feel good after eating 3 portions of food in a row, neither will you if you have eaten nothing for the full day. But you feel perfectly fine somewhere in-between lunch and dinner. Besides, going to 0% triggers chemical processes which facilitate battery degradation. Going to 100% produces extra heat, which too degrades battery. The best practice is to charge your batteries at least 10-90 instead of 0-100. This can literally make your battery last years longer.
I use my magsafe charger with a usb c female to usb a male adapter into an old school apple 5w block. Im planning keeping my 15 pro max at least 3-4 years as i did with my 12 pro max. Also i keep the battery 20-80% while only charging once a day at night while i sleep.
To charge an Apple is already slow with cable. Sorry, only if you are the kind of people that charges at night, while sleeping, magsafe charge doesn´t work for me. And, to be worst, if you use a wireless charger that isn´t an Apple, the power is cut to a half. Could be worse? Another manufacturers have wireless charger with 50w, 2,5 times Apples wired charge! One joke after another from Apple with their "flagship" tecnologies....
Y’all think too much.. iphones released since 11 Pro Max have good battery life, so I doubt 10% drop in battery health would affect your life much. My old XS Max was at 91%, still gives more or less same battery life. Now with my 13 Pro max and its INSANE battery life, I doubt that ill struggle with battery life even when the health drops lower than 80%
i charged my iphone first with cable, after 2 month the baterry degraded 2-3%, after i started to use wireless charger the battery wont degraded so i recommend wireless charger for iphone users... never charge with cable...
Charging %10 to %100 everytime doesnt degenerate your battery. For my last 4 phones, i always plug it in nights at %10-20 and get it at full in the morning. None of my phones battery died before the phone itself died. The point is you can charge 50-80 or 10-50 or 5-100, everytime it affects battery as one cycle and degrade it same amount.
My iPhone 13 Pro Max , bought new, battery at 99%. After using the MagSafe for a few months, the max capacity is now at 95%. Besides that, I think the 13 pro max is the worst phone I’ve ever had.
The 20% thing is a myth, or is now that battery tech has improved enough to only complete a cycle of your battery no matter when or how much it is charged.
It's not a myth, it's actual battery chemistry. A complete cycle count has nothing to do with the 20 and 80% sweet spot. Yes discharging a battery from 80% to 30% twice equates to a complete cycle, but it is way easier on the battery than going from 100 to 0%. The amount of cycles on a battery is only a portion of the impact on longevity, excessive heat and being in the upper and lower 20% are two big things that degrade lithium batteries much quicker.
Elaborate more if you are criticising someone,just a comment like that doesn't make you Look like you know any more than this reviewer ..so please explain.
