Why You Shouldn't Charge An iPhone To 100% 

Lol I almost never charge to 100%, no problem with that. One thing you can do is charge only as much as you need to have 20% left at the end of the day (that serves as an "emergency" reserve). Anything more than that isn't necessary. And of course, sometimes you need 100%, or you might just not want to think about that, that's fine. There are more and more phones which can take care of themselves;) It's always a trade-off between the short- and long-term needs.

@@pmj_studio4065 in my daily routine I actually need my iPhone to be fully charged up since I work on it partially, but I charge it back when it’s at around 20% when I go to sleep with optimised charging activated so I take as much care of it as I can

especially when you plug in before bed

Mine hasn’t hit 100% in a few weeks. (I use the smart battery pack and haven’t connected to a normal charger in that time)

No one is going to be around for 99 percent. Is iPhone charging management that terrible?

we're brother xD

Yes, it is a choice, some will prefer to baby their battery and some will smack it as hard as they can? No problem either way if you understand what you are doing. My XS Max is at 95% after nearly three years and there was little hardship maintaining a healthy battery charging routine.

It isn't that hard to keep the battery between 20-90%

Some of us are broke.

Same

temperatures are the actual enemy of batteries, state of charges are only a small part of the degredation.

This is so wrong. It depends on how you use your phone. I had the iPhone 12 pro Max since it came out, and it’s battery life is at 100% till this day. I charge it when it’s at 0%/15% all the way to full charge. I only use it for watching RU-vid and music. I got the iPhone 13 pro Max when it came out and used it for gps, web, games, and watching at full brightness, and it’s at 97% battery life. So no, charging it to 100% is not bad practice, it’s how you use it.

who tf buries it under snow 😭

I don’t know I feel so dumb because when I first had my iphone 11 I should have been more careful with charging habits so then it wouldn’t be have gotten kinda bad I had it in terrible weather condition too which I don’t know how to prevent but I also even let water get to it a little which is what probably made it bad…but also is battery replacement more worth it than to have to buy a whole new phone??

@@Yuh-gp4uy Not me I don’t even get snow but I do get severe heat where I live in the summer which I don’t know how to keep my phone safe from and that includes winter too I guess because around 30 degrees is too cold for it

Fun Fact: Asus does this already for their laptops

@@nikhilkoganti i think macbooks do this too based on your laptop routine, you can set it to charge fully at a certain time too!

I know what you mean. I wonder if there’s a way to accomplish this.

@@nikhilkoganti Asus gaming phones have that feature too

my phone automatically stops charging at 100% so if I pick it up it's still cold not heated up by charging

then 90% would just become the new 100%

Right!!!

You could probably set a reminder/ alarm through Shortcuts

Yes or an option to stop changing at 80 or 90 percent in the settings lot of times people forget to unplug there phone then it goes to 100 percent

You’ll have to buy the pro version to get that “feature”

True. I also thought the same but I guess if you happen to know that you're gonna need as much battery life as possible for the next day, it's okay to fully charge your iPhone.

Yes, with newer especially 13 pro/max you shouldnt even care abouit it, maybe just beware of high temperatures

If the battery doesn’t last for you during the day, don’t do it. Keeping it between 80% and 20% makes sure you have that extra battery life when you need it. Even if you want to charge above 80%, you should at least try to keep your phone above 20%.

That does actually equal only 60 percent of use which hasn’t really gotten me through my day but again I don’t know if charging to 90 percent is dangerous…that includes charging from like around 20 percent is that the best practice id love to know that way I can ensure I’ll have a good sleep every night knowing I don’t have to stress over my phones battery because lately I’ve been overthinking it for a while since I never really took great care of it in the first place…also I will invest in getting a weather resistant pouch so it will keep my phone safe no matter what the weather

Battery is always a problem on Apple users like us and we sometimes overthink or freaking out if we saw our battery degrading or even down percentage.Android users didn’t even think about their battery at all.No worries.

Does that work for MacBooks? The battery of my notebook is at 94% after a year of moderate use (sometimes I don't use it for days in a row, so I am confused as to why it degraded this much so far).

@@lucasdesiderio1121 having it with very low battery is bad even if you don't use it

HOW U CAN I DONT LEAVI IT PLUGGED IN WHEN I PLUG IT IN BEFORE I SLEEP, so it is charging 8 hours

@@llllllllllllllllllllllllll4313 what i do is charge it at BEFORE i go to sleep, when its 100 i put it on low battery, go to sleep Then i wake up early for school, depending if its 85 or 90 i charge it again, by the time i get out the shower its 100 perfectly, not overcharged or undercharged.

Eventhough my battery is still 68- 80% i already charging it until 97% 😊😊😊

Awesome 🔥 in this we can use the phone for years without battery replacement because apple's battery replacements are too expensive

but ONLY if you use it not much - according to Apple website - every 100% charge discharge (counts every 25%) is one cycle - I had iPhone 12........ mini and battery last me about........ 3-4 days because many useless Settings off - ALL apart of iMessage notifications off etc.

@@arvindramesh1830 agreed. My iPhone 12 had about another couple mah

Same here, I use the rule of keeping between 20 and 80% instead of 40 and 80. Works like a charm 😎

@@paulbenish8982 Yeah, same here. I thought I was doing something genius but I actually ended up finding out that it's because Apple does not get the exact mAh correct on every single battery, which makes sense.

Yeah, I'm not going to mess with that. I keep it on the charger so I have 100% battery when I go into town. And I put it back on the charger when I get back. Besides, I don't know if Apple is still doing this. But I know they did have cheap battery replacements.

it's really not. you get a notification when the battery hits 20% and if you have battery optimize charging on, the battery won't go past 80% unless you need it. did you even watch the video?

@@colt5189 Exactly. And if you wanna keep the phone for 3-5 years then just get a new battery like you said. $70 max.

@@Brian-kr7bw Yea I did. Unless you stay home all day that's not feasible and not worth worrying about. And if you're gonna be gone all day you should have your battery at 100% as you never know what can happen. Ultimately just buy a battery replacement if you're gonna keep the phone long enough to where diminished battery will become a problem.

@@Brian-kr7bw and you can create a shortcut to notify and perform actions when battery reaches 40 percent for example. Mine will dim the display and turn on battery saver

It’s call about the charge cycles (100% - 0%, therefore you if charge your phone from 40% - 80% that is 0.4 charge cycles). There is this super good video explains why your battery health is still at 100% after a year. Like yes this does slightly help but whatever you do the battery health will always drop from the amount of charge cycles. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w6--6z4ZcNk.html

I do the same but my 11 pro max is at 96% after almost 2 years

Mines at 83 🤙🤪

@@sveronih5376 The 11 pro max has a bueautifull design. I hear some moderm phones battery has more than the stated amount, so even though it charges to a 100 percent its not really 100 percent at the hardware level, this means that battery longevitiy is improved, I hear samsung does this and their battery longevity has improved.

The battery health thing isn't accurate anyway. Mine went from 87 to 93. It goes up and down all the time. There is no way in reality it is actually 100% after one year. It's simple chemistry.

Yes unless you want to sell your iPhone or something like that. You want it to be as close as the day you unpackaged it. Take it from me: 4 iPhones “went” to the garbage disposal all because I was careless about it and also I was a “no case guy”. I got my 13 pro max two weeks ago and man I’m nursing it like a baby because I want some of its value “back” afterwards.(Ok also as a personal challenge but still)

@@drunkargonaut3899 it will still sell at whatever market rate used obsolete iPhones go by the time you sell regardless of how much time you spent obsessing about battery %.

But you're not actually losing max capacity by limiting the charge. On days when you know you'll want more, you can always get that full 100%. Also, if you don't limit your charging, the degradation won't stop at 95% - far from it. My brother's iphone 12 dropped to 90% battery health after only a year.

I am totally confused about all the suggestions I get on maintaining battery health. I never charge my phone to hundred percent and never let it drop below 40% since I am working from home it is easy to manage this by creating automations that alert you when your battery drops to 40% and reaches 80% even after following all the best practices it’s been one year with my phone which is an iPhone SE 2020, battery health has dropped to 80% and now honestly I don’t give a damn about battery health follow the same routine and hope for the best after all I spent good money on this phone I am still awaiting value for my money 🤣

Charge it. This video is a lie,

Charge it to 100 and use it to the fullest 💯. Dont worry about that. Sure, it'll degrade the battery, but you can just change battery whenever you feel like it.

​@Dan Swildens, some people can't afford a new iPhone every year (specially outside the US, where iPhone's are way more expensive), and some people just don't want to (because they don't think they need to do so or whatever other reason). In this case it's always good to know how to take care of your phone's battery so that it lasts longer, isn't it?

My android phone charges full in 30 min 😳😳 i can't turn it off. But my iphone takes almost 2h i think to charge (it has a Huawei charging brick)

I’ve gone back to a slow charger(5w) instead of 15w and I love it

I'm not using a slow charger. I'll pay the $89 to replace the battery once before I upgrade to a new iphone after 5 years. I'm not waiting 4 hours for my phone to charge lol

@@Kxnii well I better get ready for the wooshers then

@@paowoww Technically, yeah what he is saying is true. Using your phone is bad for the battery. Leave it dead because it can't be used and it'll hold battery health for longer.

@@Pawcio2115 why do you wanna download when you have built-in lol 😆

Here's the thing that confuses me about that: how do we know what 80% of the battery *really* is? I always hear that above 80%/below 20% is bad, but wouldn't that be 80%/20% of the actual total battery capacity-not just the limited capacity the phone shows? Remember, the phone does not use the entire battery; there are safety limits put in place. So what we see as 100% on our screen, is not actually the battery's 100%.

​@@billyb7465 Percentages are just an estimate, true battery energy is indicated by voltage. Most manufacturers consider 4.2 volts to indicate a fully charged lithium-ion battery. Most research indicates that lithium-ion batteries have a "sweet spot" voltage near 4.0 volts, meaning charging past that point causes significant stress that increases more and more as the voltage rises. However, Apple charges their batteries to 4.4 volts. The thing is, lithium-ion batteries don't really have a true 100%, they just have whatever voltage the manufacturer decides should be the stop point for charging. That's why Apple is able to charge to 4.4 volts even though the standard for lithium-ion is 4.2 volts. So regarding your question of knowing what 80% really is, it's not really possible to know exactly. The good news is, that doesn't change what we know about best practices: if we charge to whatever Apple calls "80%" it will be very beneficial to the battery in comparison to charging to what they call 100%, because we know that Apple's "100%" is a voltage above the normal lithium-ion max voltage of 4.2 volts and far above the "sweet spot" lithium-ion voltage of near 4.0 volts. Apple's batteries are protected by charging circuits. The latest iPhones reach what they call "0%" near 3.2 volts and the phone automatically turns off at that point. Then, it operates in a reserve power mode, presumably until the battery becomes nearly empty at 3.0 volts. So it's true that the phone is not actually at 0% when it says it is, and it's true that it's above what most would consider to be 100% when it says it's at 100%, but none of this really impacts the principle discussed because the numbers are relative; charging from 20% to 80% is much better for the battery health than charging from 0% to 100%, ensuring that the battery always has a better max capacity than it otherwise would have. I recommend setting up an automation in the Shortcuts app. That way, no thought or effort is required to stop charging at 80% or 90%.

Actually in all Android phones it's pretty reasonable to get a battery replacement and hence after 3 years you can get a battery replacement and use the phone like new again for as long as you can use. iPhones on the other hand ate pretty expensive to repair for some reason.

BUT WHAT IF MY BATTERY CHARGES TO 100% WHILE IM OUTSIDE MAKING A FRIEND 😱😭⚠️🔋

:-) nice

Apple actually puts more wear on the battery than 4.2 volts. Apple's latest smartphones charge the battery to 4.463 volts (confirmed by multimeter, as well as by viewing the diagnostics logs on the iPhone, also the battery has 3.8V printed on it as the nominal voltage which is higher than standard nominal voltage 3.6V or 3.7V). This is a trend in the smartphone industry: push the lithium-ion battery voltage higher, so that all lithium-ion battery improvements go towards more power but not more years of service. They are trying to keep service life the same: 500 cycles until battery reaches 80% capacity. So for smartphones in particular, charging below what the manufacturer calls "100%" is especially beneficial. Charging to "80%" could easily double the cycle life. I recommend setting up automated alerts in the built-in Shortcuts app on iPhones so that Siri tells you when to stop charging, Other phones probably have similar apps. Samsung and Asus have options in their phones' settings menu to limit charge to 80% or 90%.

@@Henry-vz5hh Thanks for the info! Yes, I use an apple shortcut to set a 1 minute timer every time the battery percentage passes 75%, it's really easy to set up. It would be really nice if Apple let consumers use software to actually stop the phone from charging but as far as I know this is not possible through Apple's restricted app permissions and honestly I don't see them doing it anytime soon unfortunately. It's intentional, Apple's biggest competitor in the smartphone market doesn't come from android phones but from the resales of older iPhones.
