@brentsmithline3423 2 года назад

This is a question you should ask Apple engineers. With iOS 13 and later, Optimized Battery Charging is designed to reduce the wear on your battery and improve its lifespan by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. When the feature is enabled, your iPhone will delay charging past 80% in certain situations. Your iPhone uses on-device machine learning to learn your daily charging routine so that Optimized Battery Charging activates only when your iPhone predicts it will be connected to a charger for an extended period of time. The algorithm aims to ensure that your iPhone is still fully charged when unplugged. The question then is if an Apple device will have issues if plugged in all the time why does Apple not have software to address, and solve this use case scenario?

ok Rene thanks for this, and thanks for all your great vids. Question: iOS, Android, whatever: are these battery management systems now capable of letting me leave the phone (or MBP, or iPad) on the charger, all day, if I'm not out and about? Does the battery management system handle all that in the background, the way I would expect a smart software system to handle it? I heard you loud and clear about the BMS learning my patterns; does it know it's been plugged in 2 days, 3 days, and handle accordingly? My 2021 MBP M1 Max keeps things "on hold" at ~88% when continuously on the power adapter. I want to think it knows what it's doing, and I can leave it there without "harming" things, the way I would have thought in the past. (In the past, I would deep discharge to 0% once a month -- am I ok having stopped that behavior on my part?)

I also have one of those 28600mAh portable chargers the size of the phone which is (Planning to upgrade to the 14 max pro this year finally)I think my battery has lasted quite a while due to my screen brightness being set ( by me) fairly low 25% strength.

Guilty of micromanaging but i do it because apple service centers are a plane ride away here and it's not $70-80 for a battery replacement as you say because we only have an official reseller, not Apple themselves so there's additional fees. I loosely charge from 30+% to 80+% most of the time and only going to 100% if there is a long day ahead. I'm just reaching 300 charge cycles in nearly 4 years.

@brentsmithline3423 2 года назад

Found out why my M1 MacBook Air that I leave plugged into power shows that charging is paused at 80% with iStat Menus. This needs to be an option that is on by default in all devices like iPhone, iPad, MacBook's. If battery charging is paused or on hold on your Mac With macOS Big Sur or later, your Mac learns from your charging habits to improve the lifespan of your battery. In macOS Big Sur or later, Optimized Battery Charging is designed to improve the lifespan of your battery and reduce the time your Mac spends fully charged. When the feature is enabled, your Mac will delay charging past 80% in certain situations. Your Mac learns you're charging routine and aims to ensure that your Mac is fully charged when unplugged. On Mac computers with the Apple silicon or the T2 security chip, Optimized Battery Charging is on by default when you set up your Mac or after updating to macOS Big Sur or later.

I do not charge my phone at night because I use it in bed. I charge it when I am not using it or before going out. It varies so much. Sometimes when I forget I was changing and get busy with my work, the phone will keep charging at 100%. Even if I leave it and come back an hour later. The phone just does not learn. Yeah relying solely on the machine is unreliable. But micro management is not a solution. The phone will charge slower after crossing the 80% mark. Even if you forget for a little time and let it charge to 90% is okay. Keeping an eye on the 100% market is important. Keeping it away from direct heat like sunlight or radiator is a good idea.

@jaymaster103 2 года назад

You basically don't have a routine and charge haphazardly so the phone can't formulate a pattern hence it just continues charging to 100% anytime you plug it in. You are just like me lol.

This may be a dumb question, but I'm new to using an iPhone and was somewhat skeptical of this "Optimized Charging". I always made a habit of turning my phone off my phone when I'm charging so I don't get disturbed by notifications or other things from my phone since I charge it at night. Does the optimized charging work even when I turn off my phone when charging? I checked my battery charge graph under the battery section in settings and it just showed me a completely flat graph until the moment I disconnected my phone from the charger. This doesn't mean that this feature was active right? Or did I completely misunderstand something?

Now, I am doing the 20/80 thing, and battery health has remained unchanged at 86% for now.

I’m at well over a year with the 12 Pro Max and I try to be 80% max / slower charger guy (usually 15W vs 20W or more) and my battery health is at 93%. My son doesn’t pay attention at all and his 12’s health is < 80% over roughly the same period.

I know for most people it wouldn't be worth the effort to micromanage for a longer lifespan, but since I always have access to a charger it's not that big of a deal for me to only have 10% of maximum usable capacity, therefore I had always let it cycle between 65 and 75 percent because of battery university expecting this range to be optimal.

With Macbook I have charging pattern. During day, it is connected to monitor with PD, at evening I usually unplug it and using it outside desk, then at morning, again on desk connected to PD.

It's crazy; I have been charging my phone the same way for the past seven years; I charge from about 7pm to about 9pm, and that fills it up. I have never run out of juice in a single day nor have I even been below 20 percent. Ever since the 6 Plus, I've been using the same iPad Mini charge brick (and cable!) to charge my phones. It used to be fast charging on the 6, 6s, 7, 8, and so on, though now of course we can charge even faster. Just for the battery's sake though, and even though I have the 20W charge brick that came with the 11 pro max, I still use that iPad charger so my battery lasts longer. Here's what's confusing. My iPhone 7 Plus, which I had passed down to my mother and then daughter, is at 91 percent battery health. I bought that phone new, at launch, and it's been used daily since then. My iPhone X, which I also bought at launch and has been used daily, including now by my mother, is at 94 percent battery health. My Xs Max is also at 94 percent battery health. (I traded my 11 Pro Max to Apple so I don't have that phone's percentage). And now, my iPhone 12 Mini, which I charge the same way, is at 89 percent battery health. Is that not crazy? I know the battery is smaller on this phone, and in fairness I am going to upgrade when the new phones come out so it's not that big of a deal, but i have to wonder whether there is some issue with the mini 12 iPhone, or maybe just with my unit? Anyway, i still love the size of the Mini, and it's too bad we will never get a Mini Pro iPhone. Because man, would that have been stellar.

I think it’s more that after 80% it starts to slow down and run bad. This is what they got sued over and why they added the battery health function.

When I charge my phone is not predictable it changes day to day to day. There is a lot variation when I charge and for how long. I don’t care about micro managing charging if my schedule was predictable but it is not. If letting the manufacturer manage charging based on machine learning I ask what has the machine learned?

@ams-nm6dl 2 года назад

Exactly. I do not charge my phone at night because I use it in bed. I charge it when I am not using it or before going out. It varies so much. Sometimes when I forget I was changing and get busy with my work, the phone will keep charging at 100%. Even if I leave it and come back an hour later. The phone just does not learn. Yeah relying solely on the machine is unreliable. But micro management is not a solution. The phone will charge slower after crossing the 80% mark. Even if you forget for a little time and let it charge to 90% is okay. Keeping an eye on the 100% market is important. Keeping it away from direct heat like sunlight or radiator is a good idea.

I’m not too worried about my phone, that’s always gonna need charging to max, then off out draining on a daily basis. But wish I could limit my MacBook charging. The large majority of the time it’s plugged in constantly connected to a dock. So I can’t just unplug it. So it’s sat there for days or weeks plugged in to the charger. I could so easily limit it to say 80%, then just choose to fill it entirely the once a week or less I actually unplug it and “go mobile”. My MacBook is basically a desktop that I only *sometimes* want to take with me for stuff.

@magnesiafrost1863 Год назад

If you turn on optimized chargin in settings the current macOS will at some point stop charging at 80% or lower. There is also a software which can limit charging level to a point you decide (like 60% or something similar). It is called AlDente.

@DeusRegum 2 года назад

I plug my phone in or put it on a wireless charging stand every chance I get and try to keep it at 100% as much as possible. I keep it plugged in or charging wirelessly whenever I'm not using it. Never even knew or cared about all this stuff. Until I I started using an iPhone and it gave me all these wonky, funky messages about charging to only 85% or whatever. Got tired of it and switched back to my Samsung phone. Problem solved. Don't need to nerd out over my battery power for a phone I won't even have in two years, maybe even less.

@ThomasEJohnson 2 года назад

And being in a high charge state for an extended period of time, how long constitutes an extended period of time?

@styge6287 2 года назад

Usually more than 5 hours. The impact isn't much noticeable tbh. Very minor but over a long period of time (say 2 years), it does add an extra 2-5% drainage to the battery life.

@@styge6287 So if you’re the type like me that is generally at a desk half of the day and would rather keep everything plugged in the majority of the time, it shouldn’t be an issue?

That doesn't hurt anything. Mostly you are on battery right after you get out of the car anyways.

@magnesiafrost1863 Год назад

High heat and putting cycles on your battery causes wear (normal usage without charger connected). Don't worry about it if it stay on 100% because it will use the energy from the charger instead from the battery. So don't worry

@nobodynemoq 2 года назад

That's what I'm always saying. Why bother about saving your battery life by doing some illogical actions, if these actions are going to limit you even more than the battery would after long time of "abuse"? Feeding battery always up to 80% is an extremely stupid way to go - even extremely bad battery charging profile would take years to limit the battery so badly! If I some day run into 80% of battery life, I'd just replace it, since the cost isn't too high. Also, I prefer standard (not fast) induction charging - it doesn't hurt me that phone recharges much slower while I'm sleeping or working, while I save the lightning socket from being worn too quickly and maybe get the battery at least slightly better treated.

@loughrey101 2 года назад

Charging past 80% even even if not prolonged does add strain on the battery. Lithium ion batteries in iPhones are no different from any other. The technology has not changed. Top maximise the longevity of thr battery it's best to avoid charging to 100% at all. My iPhone 12 is over a year old but still at 100% health because it's never charged beyond 80%. I don't think there's many people who still have 100% health after a year and a half who rely on Apple's battery optimizer. Apple's battery optimizer reduces wear but it's not thr best way to reduce wear as it does sacrifice some battery longevity for convenience of a full day battery. If you don't need a full day battery and will have access to chargers to top thr battery up, that's better than having Apple charge to 100% every morning. If you can top of tut battery a few times throughout the day that's better for the longterm health if the battery than leaving tut house with 100% battery every day

Battery health has a lot to do with your overall behavior. Like if you use a lot of hot, heavy apps all the time, it'll force more load on everything than if you're just checking mail every once in a while

@WhittyPics 2 года назад

Apple is feeding MISINFORMATION. I have tried that discharging to 80% on my SE 2020 and I LOST 6% battery health in just a few months. I went back to keeping it on the charger about all the time and at 100% as much as possible and I have only lost 1% health in about 18 months. In my experience, keeping it on the charger as much as possible and at 100% as much as possible gets you the best long term battery health. Another personal example. I treated my original SE the same way. On the charger all the time and at 100% and I used that phone for 4 years and sold it with 99% health remaining. Apple wants to sell us batteries. The batteries are good for so many charging cycles so it makes the most sense to MINIMIZE how many cycles we put on those batteries. Do your own test before just repeating the PROPAGANDA Apple puts out.

@@MrKevosmin Most of the time, yeah. When the laptop requires more power than the charger can provide, it will start pulling power out from the battery in addition to the power it's getting from the charger. No idea if iPhone does this (probably not seeing as it gets warm while you're using it, which should mean power is going into and out of the battery at the same time)

@ghost-user559 2 года назад

If you keep it plugged in all the time you WILL kill the battery early. You need a “charge limiter” and there are apps to do this. Al Dente is the best application I know of for MacBooks plugged in all the time. I used mine plugged into a monitor for a long time and the battery swelled enough to pop off the bottom case of the laptop and could have exploded if I did not see it in time. Trust me, no matter what Apple or Rene says, if you plug in your laptop most of the time you WILL kill your battery sooner unless you get an app to regulate the charge manually.

@premgaru8556 2 года назад

Great video. I personally do not care much if the battery health drops below 95%. The reason that I am concerned and take care that the battery health is showing 100% is because when I resell my phone the buyers are very particular about the battery health. I have a better chance of getting a good deal for my phone if the battery health is above 95%. And I for one upgrade every year so the battery health percentage matters.
