    2:32 - incorrect info. "Apple devices regulate their own charging and their own current draw. No matter what current output your battery can supply, the device will never pull any more than its own electronics allow for." Otherwise, great vid as always.

      Retired electronics tech here. Alan is 100% correct. The device plugged into the wall isn't actually a charger. It's a power supply. It's intended to supply a specified voltage with as much current (called "amperage" by the uneducated) as the mobile device calls for, up to the supply's design limit. An iPhone's charge rate is determined by the phone, not what it's connected to.

      they’re giving out wring information.
      FIrst, you can use any usb-c to charge your phone. that’s including 100w chargers. just because the charger is rated more than what the iphone needs, it doesnt mean that the iphone will use all 100w and damage your battery
      - Secondly. draining your battery consistently is not good for lithium batteries. once you reach around 20%, charge your phone.

    When I worked at the Apple store, we had employees that would scare customers into thinking all these myths were true. I always said that you should just charge it and not worry with it, especially on a device that you will probably replace after two or three years any ways. It was more important to tell people not to let their little kids play with the phone or to not run around with it in their back pockets. (That’s how many people ended up with cracked screens or a swim in the toilet. )

      Jeff, you're another ex-Apple Store employee?! That's awesome. It's absolutely worth noting that not all Apple Store employees have the same level of knowledge or care about customers. I suppose that's true in every profession, but what you're saying sounds right about in line with my experience, too!

      Usually trying to aim for at least four years, they’re not exactly cheap. Have needed the battery replaced once, it was draining completely in four hours but the replacement was fine for three years, and have been saved by my tempered glass screen protector once so never a broken screen.
      You never plan to drop your phone, but it was definitely worth it, being able to fix it yourself in ten minutes at home saves more than just money, it saves a lot of priceless time that you can’t buy and never have enough of.

    • @egg6649
      @egg6649 3 роки тому +16

      The difference is negligible, it’s not really the speed at which it charges, it’s if it gets hot. This is why people will sometimes suggest not using your phone while you charge it.
      Generally it will be fine, but if you are noticing your phone is getting hot to the touch (not just warm) then stop using it while it charges, or maybe use a slower charger when you do.

      @r.stanley1049 3 роки тому +6

      Agreed. I expect it’s technically more accurate to say that the iPhone (the load) draws current from a source (charger). The charger can’t force the iPhone to draw more current than the iPhone allows, unless it was a defective or wrong voltage charger presenting an abnormally high voltage to the phone.

But even if we ignore anecdotal evidence because of small simple sizes, an exhaustive look at the research shows no real consensus on the subject at all. So I just don't see the point in people artificially limiting their battery capacity to 80 or 85%

    Batteries aren’t flash memory, you can’t use “the first 25%” and then charge it, and have then use capacity out of “the other 75%”. It’s one cell with two electrodes. What happens chemically is not controllable by the device.
    Unlike NiCd or NiMH, Li batteries don’t have issues with parts of the Ni electrode’s crystal structure changing. The electrodes don’t actually chemically react, they just hold Li ions. Shallow discharge cycles are not a problem and there’s no “unused part of the battery” problem.

    I purchased an amazon dock with their own suppliet charging cable, but I do use my old 2016 SE 5w charging brick. 13 mini charges pretty fast with this setup using a Spigen Magsafe case. Since the 5w brick cant draw out the 15w magsafe, I'm satisfied with that for keeping my battery in good shape. Plus I only recharge my phone every 3-4 days as my usage is just that non-exsistent.

    This has helped clarify for me that Mag Safe wireless chargers are a good and safe way to charge the iPhone without damaging the battery.

    I get that ‘accessory may not be supported’ message occasionally on my iPhone and iPad even when I do use the Apple certified cables including the ones that came with the devices.

    Can you cite the source for this charging sections of batteries? I want to know where you got that information. Seems oddly incorrect.

      We go from Apple’s information on pages like this one: www.apple.com/batteries/why-lithium-ion/ , and also from my first-hand experience with many, many iPhones at the Apple Store. I’m not an engineer and some people’s knowledge of battery chemistry far surpasses my own, but we truly do care about sharing accurate information and are happy to admit when we’re wrong. Maybe you could share what specifically you think we’re incorrect about?

      @@PayetteForward Enjoying the videos on this channel, but there are some inaccuracies in this video.
      Myth #2 is incorrect. I believe you meant to say "Myth #2: Discharge your battery to 0%" it's fully ok to charge your phone whenever you want. you don't need to discharge to 0% and fully cycle your battery to prevent damage. in fact, fully discharging your battery will harm it. Your explanation and example about the old batteries and the need to exercise them seems to support that you misspoke (and miswrote) when presenting myth #2.
      The old batteries needed to be fully discharged, as you said, and lithium ion batteries don't.
      It's not a myth that you should avoid deep discharges and keeping your phone away from either extremes. it's one reason why your devices shut off before they fully discharge, and why Apple has the smart feature that stops charging at 80%.

    2:35 So you don't recommend to use those 65W wall chargers by RavPower or Anker on iPhones? Cause they advertise these chargers as one charger for all your devices.

    • @DigitalMoonlight

      They're fine, they were totally wrong on that. Wall "chargers" are just DC power supplies, they supply power up to the max rating. The charger on the device such as your iPhone asks the power supply how much power it's allowed to draw so as to not blow a fuse or damage the power supply. It then proceeds to draw however much current it wants. The reason they noticed their phones charging faster is because the old power supplies provided were only capable of outputting 5 watts whereas the newest iPhones can draw up to 27 watts (official spec is 20W but the iPhone 13 Pro Max will draw up to 27 when tested.) Once the phone hits 80% it quickly reduces the power it draws so as to not generate too much heat and potentially damage the battery.
      They were also totally wrong on how lithium batteries work, the iPhone if we're being pedantic does not have a battery. It has a single lithium cell, lithium batteries in a perfect world always want to be at 50% charge (equilibrium). However from practical perspective you just want to avoid over discharging or staying at 100% all the time. A common range people pick is 20% to 80% and faster charging can help facilitate this and make it easier. There is no way to only use certain parts of a battery or cell.
