I have ONLY charged my 13 pro on the so called wireless charger since new and only to 80-85% and the battery is down quite a bit. I basically torture tested my 7+ battery and it was 85% many years later. It seems they have good batches and terrible batches of battery in the Apple iPhones. So that sucks for me.
2.5 years after getting iPhone 12 Pro Max, I’m at 88% battery capacity. I leave it plugged in for about 12 hours everyday (half day at work, all night when I go to bed). I do all the other battery saving tips that were suggested. Great video and thanks!
The most important tips are: 1- Use an Apple ORIGINAL slow 5W charger with Apple original cable to charge over night. 2- Don’t charge & discharge in the same time (like heavy gaming while charging). 3- Try charging between start point 10-20% & 80-90% as endpoint. Edit: 4- Don’t spoil-charge your phone like at 50% battery, just because you’re home and you can charge. Let it first drain down to like 10-20% then start a new complete recharge cycle. 5- Don’t leave any apps/ games running in the background. Most apps use your location and drain the battery to remain open.
@@RogerCanda it might be showing 100% for now, but someday it will show somewhere near 95% from 100%... That happened to me before, skipping other numbers between them. I thought it's 100% but then the next day it came down to 94%.. now it's on 91% for a long time and I'm expecting it to go down to 85% soon based on how I used my device because I sometimes violate these tips without knowing...
I had my battery replaced in my iPhone X in March of 2021. It's still at 94% health. And that was the original battery I replaced after 3.5 years of having the phone. The Optimized Battery Charging is the most important part. I also rarely ever drain my battery below 50% as I'm almost always on Wi-Fi and I'm not constantly using my phone all day. On a side note, I'm still rocking my Apple Watch 4 from 2018. It still lasts all day with no issues at all. It maybe gets down to 40% at the end of the day.
I've been doing most of these tips on my 5-yeaar old iPhone X since it was new and its current battery health maximum capacity is 96%. Another tip that I would add is that the lower the wattage charger, the better for battery health.
I’ve actually noticed on the 14 promax, the screen gets so much brighter than any iPhone before and having the iPhone at a lower brightness while playing heavy intensive games or apps, I feel like the new screen is acting as a heat sink while at low brightness leaving my iPhone cooler then same game with same settings on older iPhone 13 Pro Max as they both have the same GPU
I’ve had my iPhone 12 for 2 years now n my battery health is at 87 percent n I’m good with that n I’ve never had any issues with it with charging thanks for sharing your tips
So, I use some of the basic tips with my current iPhone, and within a year it still dropped down to 86% in a year. I would say the advanced tips are the ones that are sure to preserve battery life. One thing to note is that my phone now says 84% battery health and I have now had it for 3 years. Something worth considering I guess.
My 13 Pro Max is at 87% battery health. I’m knowing I should’ve been smarter with it. Just got Apple MagSafe battery pack and love how it works with my device and keeps it at 89-90ish percent over several hours. Will get my battery replaced before AppleCare is up too
I use Chargie, one for the home and one for the car, stopping at 80% charge . Or use an automation where my alarm will sound if it goes above 80% charge when I don’t have my Chargie … also micro charges throughout the day at 5-10% intervals to keep it around 80%… iPhone 14 pro max , still at 100% since last September. My wife’s SE3 just 11. Months old is at 88% . She just sticks it on the charger.. also does quick now
I Have the Alpin green 13pro Max still 100% one years of intensiv usage 5G all time and camera vlog. Im very happy this. 13 serie have really good durability 👌🏾
I have a 3rd-generation iPhone SE, purchased in Spring, 2022. I frequently carry the SE in my pants-pocket or hoodie-pouch. Are you saying this makes my SE too warm in winter? That sounds like a no-win situation.
My 13 mini reported about 103% capacity in Coconut Battery when I got it and just over a year later, it still reports about 101% capacity. I use MagSafe charging off-and-on throughout the day, too.
Battery are not always the same capacity in every device, they may differ. For example, Iphone 15 pro has 3290 mAh capacity which is theoretical value, but It might be 3390 or 3190. So coconut battery problably only reads 3290 mAh as standard.
LOL. I've been rocking an iphone 8 for 4 years. Battery still at 100% and it works like new. I almost never leave it charging overnight or let it go down to 0%. Did the same with my previous 5S that I used for around 5 years. I still have that one and it works perfectly also.
Did this for my iPhone 11 Pro Max and it works. Still strong but will plan on upgrading to the 15 lineup. Now is it possible for the battery percentage to improve overtime? Mines went from 85% to 86% which I thought was a bit strange.
Optimized charging only works when you have a routine in your Life really. But the idea with the Automation is a really good one. Since I do have a plug like that, I could create it. - But I'd need to rewire my Desktop plugs then and that's not so likely. I did already create an automation for turning it on, when battery goes below 10%, so I can plug it in when I have turned it off at "night" or whenever I go/get to bed (neurodiversity can be a nuisance in that context) to save electric power drains from Stand-By-Modes.
I have been Following these tips such as the 5W block for charging and no fast charging and only using Apple branded cords blocks MagSafe battery packs etc. for a long time now and my iPhone 13 Pro Max had 100% battery health after 13 months and my iPhone 14 promax has 100% battery health still with only four something months until the iPhone 15 series is revealed on September 12 so excited for the brand new ultraviolet lithography 3 nm process cause I bet you I can keep 100% battery health for 14 months or more
I use a shortcut that lets me know when the battery has reached 85%. On a normal day, I will unplug it at that time. But if I’m traveling or know that I will be making heavy use of the phone, I’ll let it go to 100%. The last two phones I had I’ve treated this way and when I sold one and gave the other, they were both at 100% after a year. The 13 that I gave to my wife is two years old and is still showing 100%.
How about turning on the low power mode when the battery is still at around 90%? Is that okay? I like using low power mode because I believe it saves my battery, even though there are limits on background activities. However, I don't really need the background apps to be active.
I charge fully, have had it overheat many times and have used wireless few times. 12 months later - 100% battery 🔋 health. Overnight, I use 5W charging. Got 2022 SE.
Well out of my experience the model of the phone or the build in battery cell makes a change too. When I had a 12 Pro my battery capacity went down from 100% to 89% in 15 month. On my 13 Pro Max I have 97% capacity left and I´m using it for 16 month now without changing my charging behavior. And btw I´m always charging with Magsafe and my battery level is nearly always between 100% and 80% since I´m working remote and always have it on a. charger.
I have the iPhone 14 Plus and I’ve had it since release weekend which is about 7 months and I’m still at 100% battery health. I’m sure it won’t be that way for very long but I do whatever I can to make sure that my phone doesn’t get to much heat. I live in a very hot climate so it’s a task to do so.
@@rajaafifi4280 sure I don’t charge my phone in hot temperatures. When I do charge my phone if It starts to feel like it’s getting warm, I’ll put an ice pack behind it. Once a day I only charge to 100%. When I do charge or recharge, I only charge it to 80% after the first charge to 100%. If I’m using it and it starts to get warm or hot, I stop using it I do not put my phone in direct sunlight. I do not let my phone get down to or below 20%.
So how should i charge my iphone 15 pro on the car or home? Apple magsafe on house i guess and at the car??anything wireless to suggest with hest anticipation?
It’s nice to challenge yourself to maintain max capacity for as long as you. But if you can afford a new IPhone, you can probably afford the battery replacement should the loss of capacity bothers you or gets down enough to be a concern.
I'll share my experince trying to limit battery to charge to 80% (or any other number) I got a smart outlet that works with Google Home. Automating this outlet to turn on and off from the Shortcuts apps is relatively easy, the problem is that becasue is a power outlet, Google won't schedule on and off routines, and your iPhone has to be unlocked to run shortcuts. To kind of avoid/overcome these problems, I run an automation that plays a UA-cam video with a black screen to keep the phone unlocked until it reacheas 80% and now the shorcut to turn off the outlet runs fine. Any ides to get this easier?
I bought 15$ Wi-Fi plug with HomeKit support, and made an automation to cut off power at 80%. Great investment, even at 80% my 14 Pro Max lasts whole day, and after 7 months it still has 100% battery health
I don’t even worry about battery. My battery health is at 94% iPhone 14 Pro Max. I run everything on MAX.. max brightness, max drainage, turned off optimized battery charging because I need the maximum charging. I GPS all day with the MagSafe in the sun. I use all battery bank not just apples when I need a charge. My battery gets to 10 before I charge for Max cycles. Why spend all that money to slow down 😂. I talk on the phone while playing Diablo immortals and charging on max brightness. The phone gets so hot 😅 I love it. I max out all the way.
Yeah bro this is the way to no need to worry or care. May I replace my 12 battery in August and it’s already back to 89 percent. I use it to make money gps banking school play games watch videos.
I use apples MagSafe battery pack most days. It keeps the iphone at about 90% and primarily provides the juice from the battery pack rather than the phone. According to coconut battery app, after 7 months my 14 pro max is sitting at 100%, with 55 charge cycles.
That´s actually smart. However, I prefer to use the battery pack mostly while my phone is in my pocket and remove it when I use the phone in my hands, else it feels too big for me.
I am also following the same tips on iphone 13 pro after 7 months its still 100% after update also. Thanks for this videos bro keep going All the best❤
With more modern batteries is not as necessary as it was before, so some people stopped suggesting that, but it definitely won't hurt if you do it every one in a while or if you notice your battery not lasting as long, then when you "reset it" in that way you'll gain the full capacity again if you did have that issue.
im at 98% after 7 months. Follow all these steps except here in my country its hot so my avg iphone temperature is 27 degrees and around 200 cycles. cant be better than this I guess.
I have a shortcut that informs me if the charging reaches 90% and then i unplug it. And no charging just for a minute. I always charge from 20-40 to 80-90%. And so i have still 100% battery capacity in my iPhone 11, 3(!) years old.
Thank you, these are great tips. I'm frustrated when people (hi Rene Richie!) make videos that say turn on optimized battery charging and don't worry about it. You can definitely do more. If you don't want to, that's fine, but excellent and valid tips like these are important for those who do want to make the original battery last as long as possible.
I was watching this video, and your last trying to understand what was up with your hair 😅. You literally look ten years younger in that video. Someone forgot his hair spray.❤😂😂😂😂😂
iPhone I don't care much about because I'll upgrade yearly, but I do monitor my iPad Air's battery health. I never let it get above 80% and never let it sink under 20%.
I used a chargie from day one with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, limiting charging to 80% overnight, and with temperature limitation, my battery health stayed at 100% for almost a year, and suddenly dropped to 94%, and has stayed there for the last few months.
I have an iPhone 7 Plus, been using it since December 2016 and it is currently at 50% max capacity. Had I known about these tips before maybe it would still be around 70 or 80 percent. But then again, rechargeable batteries will degrade over time and they are not meant to last forever. I could still game on it by 2-4 hours at least, I do have another phone for calls and SMS which isn't a smartphone.
Best advice I can give: stop updating your iPhone, e.g. my iPhone 11 came out with iOS13. I did updates until iOS 14.X but didn‘t ever update higher. iOS 15 and 16 would have slowed down everything on my iPhone 11 and also have an negative impact on the battery. Conclusion: If your iPhone comes out with a new iOS Version, you can update the next Version and then stop. iPhone 14 came out with iOS 16, so you can update on iOS 17.X Thats it.
Great vid, thanks. I never use wireless charging and I only use the lower wattage chargers (but more than 5W!). But that optimized charging stuff (80% and above) is not for me. Thanks for the info. +1
Tbh going above 80 is not that bad if you use it right after. Usually it stays full % for not so much time, I started charging to 85/90 and it is a safe+quality of life value. I find more important to start charging at 35/40%
My iPhone 12 is at 87% it’s hammered like crazy used a lot with Xcode testing apps and watching a lot of UA-cam tho I usually keep it around 25% to 90%, they is always the option of a power bank if gets bad someday.
My iPhone 13 Pro is still at 100% after 16 months and more than 200 charging cycles. The only thing I do for this is avoiding less than 20% capacity and stop charging at about 92-96%. With this, I feel very comfortable.
I charged my XS Max and 13 Pro Max the same way (5w overnight, with fast charger top ups during the day and keeping it from running too low on charge), same chargers, and similar amounts of use each. After 1 year, the XS Max was at 100% health, and the 13 Pro Max was at around 95%. The XS Max was at 98% after 26 months (630 charge cycles) and my 13 Pro Max is at 92% after 18 months (410 cycles)... I think there is definitely an element of luck involved.
@@ebubeawachie yes! Most people don’t realise this and that’s why some iPhones last over a year at 100%. They have degraded, just not below 100%. Both my XS Max and 13 Pro Max were around the 105% mark as well when new
@@kwamesarpong41 the battery mah capacity is rated at a certain amount for each device. For example, a phone with a 5000mah battery is realistically the average capacity the batteries will be guaranteed to achieve. However due to chemical variations when manufacturing the batteries, every new battery will have slightly different capacity. This means most batteries come at or above the rated capacity and you will most likely have more than the 5000mah advertised, sometimes it could be 5020mah or it could be 5300mah. This is where the luck comes in!! If your battery had 5300mah, that means it can lose 300mah of capacity and still be considered at 100% health. Your phone will only show as high as 100% in settings but this is why some phones last over a year before dropping below 100%.
Haha. After listening to your tips, I am a battery murderer. I have a one-year old 13 ProMax, and the battery health is already down to 88% 🤦🏽♂️ Solid content as always Max Tech team!
@@teeeee9174 years ago I had a similar battery issue with my iPhone 5 ((yeah- that long ago)) I took it to the Genius Bar. Even though It was out of its 1-year warranty the Genius rep gave a new iPhone 5. Don’t know if that was policy/procedure, but I should get another appointment with the Genius Bar.
Biggest point missed is screen on time. The more you use your phone the more you need to charge and more charge cycles completed. My phone screen time is 8 hours a day and in 1.7 years I’m at 86%. My ipad screen time is like 2 hours and even after 5 years i can get easy 6-7 hour battery life
Pleased you covered this. With iPhone 12 Pro Max I bought an Apple case and wireless charger. Within 8 month the battery health was 86%. I was horrified as it was still so new. Bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max and used wired charging only (skipped 14 pro max as didn’t seem worth paying all that money for very few improvements), and here we are in May and my iPhone still has 100% battery life!
I have a 12PM, and the Apple felt/rubber macsafe case. Almost 2yrs old now. Mainly used the magsafe charging. Only used cord when need fast charge. Used phone daily in car for gps, vent mount, cold, or hot air blowing on it. Batt health is 93%. Not sure why yours degraded so rapidly. This phone, the most hardy phone i have had. All the past Android phones i had, even the ones with removable batt, would loose nearly 50% of their health after just one year.
It is so disappointing that Apple cannot program IPhones and IPads to stop charging at 80%. My old Toshiba laptop has had this function for years and this function is also available in Windows. I have to assume that Apple makes to much money on changing batteries and devices
They kinda do have this function with the smart charging setting, which doesn't charge it to 100% immediately at night until right before you need it, that is good enough for most people I think and during the day you have more control over it, to plug it in and unplug after however long you want
What’s the point of keeping capacity to 100% when you only charge up to 80%? It’s might be the same as having 80% battery capacity fully charged. Maybe a well managed iphone can make the second hand buyer happy since I only use it less than 2 or 3 years.
I just had to replace the battery in my iPhone 12 pro Max that's not even 2 years old because the health was at 84% and the phone was acting up randomly. Asurion came to my house and replaced the battery for free but in reality I pay every month for insurance on the phone so it wasn't really " Free".
Letting the phone die altogether is the biggest battery killer. I try and never go below 20% and certainly not less than 10% and 6 months in, my 14 Plus is still on 100%
My iPhone 13 pro has the most degrading battery ever. From my experience fast charging is definitely harmful. As soon as I stopped using fast charger the battery degradation slowed down a lot.
Nice tips, but i will have to disagree on the 20%-80% range based on my experience. My iPhone 13 Pro Max was charging since day one using the original fast charger and the original USB cable. The charger was connected on a smart outlet that when the iPhone hit 80% the charger would shut off. Not more than 10 times my battery went down from 20%. No wireless charging and no magsafe accessories. Optimised charging on. Apple's Clear case. Within 9 months, my iPhone went from 100% to 92% of battery health. With my iPhone 14 Pro Max I let myself go, not worrying about these stuff. I'm not monitoring my charging habits anymore. I'm using magsafe chargers (ESR HaloLock MagSafe Kickstand) with the original fast charger and a type c to type c cable from belkin, as well as a Baseus 15w Magsafe Stand paired with a type c to type c cable from belkin and a UGREEN 66w dual type c charger. I let it charge overnight and I charge it whenever I find it convenient through the day using any type c fast charger/cable and my ESR HaloLock MagSafe Kickstand that is always on the phone. Optimised charging on. Apple's Clear case. 7 months in, still at 100%. Both brand new, same usage overtime. I'ts not a big deal to loose 1%-8% over 7-9 months. But it still makes you angry especially if you are actively monitoring your every move in order to be the best battery user out there.
The 13 Pro Max must be particularly bad for battery health. Mine drained from 100% to 91% in about 6 months. My 13 Pro went from 91% to 85% in 6 months as well. I just think the 13 Pro series didn’t ship with batteries that had some extra capacity over the rated value.
If u don't use Magsafe charging, no GPS when outside, don't use navigation/plug 12v car charger in because it heats up your phone, limit screen brightness (and thus visibility) when outside, don't charge over 80 %, you will limit the usability of your phone very much. U could just as well bought a cheaper phone with a dimmer screen, smaller battery etc? Some other tips are okay to keep in mind.
I bought a magsafe charger when I got my 12 pro max…killed my battery after 1 year went to 82%, stopped using it battery stopped dying , was using it over night , other wireless chargers and fast chargers don’t do this , maybe I had a defective model
Mine is still 100% Tips from me, charge phone of gets to 10%. Stop charge at 99%. Never charge it over night, I have never used wired charging, I always wireless charge. Along with the optimised battery charging feature, that's the rules I followed and remain at 100%. The phone has been to Thailand with me 3 times also, so you know it gets hot there. 👍
no need to preserve anything because my iPhone had a good battery nowadays and what i do is simple you close all the widgets and left only matters and close everything that no need such as in the iCloud or background refresh etc and you will have a good battery life for sure
What? 62-72 degrees for room temperature? That’s the cold range for me. I can barely handle my room below 72. I freeze up when I wake up. By the way, my iPhone’s battery health is at 90% after 11 months because I use it more than 9 hours a day.

It is great to have same metal brick where you can put your phone when charging to keep it cool.
How about turning on the low power mode when the battery is still at around 90%? Is that okay? I like using low power mode because I believe it saves my battery, even though there are limits on background activities. However, I don't really need the background apps to be active.
I've had my iPhone 12 Pro Max for 2 years exactly and my battery health % is at 99% by only having the phone's battery level between 40 and 80% :)
I charge fully, have had it overheat many times and have used wireless few times. 12 months later - 100% battery 🔋 health. Overnight, I use 5W charging. Got 2022 SE.
Well out of my experience the model of the phone or the build in battery cell makes a change too. When I had a 12 Pro my battery capacity went down from 100% to 89% in 15 month. On my 13 Pro Max I have 97% capacity left and I´m using it for 16 month now without changing my charging behavior. And btw I´m always charging with Magsafe and my battery level is nearly always between 100% and 80% since I´m working remote and always have it on a. charger.
I have the iPhone 14 Plus and I’ve had it since release weekend which is about 7 months and I’m still at 100% battery health. I’m sure it won’t be that way for very long but I do whatever I can to make sure that my phone doesn’t get to much heat. I live in a very hot climate so it’s a task to do so.
Mind sharing your battery maintenance?
@@rajaafifi4280 sure I don’t charge my phone in hot temperatures. When I do charge my phone if It starts to feel like it’s getting warm, I’ll put an ice pack behind it. Once a day I only charge to 100%. When I do charge or recharge, I only charge it to 80% after the first charge to 100%. If I’m using it and it starts to get warm or hot, I stop using it I do not put my phone in direct sunlight. I do not let my phone get down to or below 20%.
@@fredrodriquez3230 wired or wireless charging?
@@rajaafifi4280 About 90% lightning charges I only use Apple products which means cables and power bricks and MagSafe and about 10% MagSafe.

What are the tips for 100% Battery Health in a m1 MBA
My old iPhone XR is still at 84% after 560 charge cycles after 3 years of use? I have it plugged in 100% 24/7. It just won’t die. Why is that?
It’s nice to challenge yourself to maintain max capacity for as long as you. But if you can afford a new IPhone, you can probably afford the battery replacement should the loss of capacity bothers you or gets down enough to be a concern.
I'll share my experince trying to limit battery to charge to 80% (or any other number)
I got a smart outlet that works with Google Home. Automating this outlet to turn on and off from the Shortcuts apps is relatively easy, the problem is that becasue is a power outlet, Google won't schedule on and off routines, and your iPhone has to be unlocked to run shortcuts. To kind of avoid/overcome these problems, I run an automation that plays a UA-cam video with a black screen to keep the phone unlocked until it reacheas 80% and now the shorcut to turn off the outlet runs fine.
Any ides to get this easier?
I bought 15$ Wi-Fi plug with HomeKit support, and made an automation to cut off power at 80%. Great investment, even at 80% my 14 Pro Max lasts whole day, and after 7 months it still has 100% battery health
Nice video
The best page ever
If only there was a way to implement automated charging w/ manually set parameters using software...if only.
There is on Android...
I also use the ESR Cryo Lock… its amazing, works great! 🤩 Iphone 12 is at 89%…..been there for a year.
My iPhone 12 is 91% after 1 year and 2 months
I don’t even worry about battery. My battery health is at 94% iPhone 14 Pro Max. I run everything on MAX.. max brightness, max drainage, turned off optimized battery charging because I need the maximum charging. I GPS all day with the MagSafe in the sun. I use all battery bank not just apples when I need a charge. My battery gets to 10 before I charge for Max cycles. Why spend all that money to slow down 😂. I talk on the phone while playing Diablo immortals and charging on max brightness. The phone gets so hot 😅 I love it. I max out all the way.
Yeah bro this is the way to no need to worry or care. May I replace my 12 battery in August and it’s already back to 89 percent. I use it to make money gps banking school play games watch videos.
I use apples MagSafe battery pack most days. It keeps the iphone at about 90% and primarily provides the juice from the battery pack rather than the phone. According to coconut battery app, after 7 months my 14 pro max is sitting at 100%, with 55 charge cycles.
That´s actually smart. However, I prefer to use the battery pack mostly while my phone is in my pocket and remove it when I use the phone in my hands, else it feels too big for me.
I am also following the same tips on iphone 13 pro after 7 months its still 100% after update also.
Thanks for this videos bro keep going
All the best❤
How ?
@@saishgautam6536 30-90% charging, original charger and not making it too hot
I will stop my charger when my phone get hot 😊
@@saishgautam6536 i will remove the back case when charging and turn on the ac also😂
😂hehehe
Does the belkin 3 in 1 stop charging at 100%? I know you did a review on it and i dont recall you mentioning this… 🤷♀️
Now this is what I been looking for
Good tips! My iPhone 13 Pro is at 93 battery health after 1 ½ years
Would be grate to have same video with Android (let's say a Samsung phone and a Pixel for example).
Hi Max, what do you think about battery calibration? To let the battery die and then fully recharge it. Is this necessary now a days?
That's what I was thinking, I'm not sure how necessary it is, even once a year?
With more modern batteries is not as necessary as it was before, so some people stopped suggesting that, but it definitely won't hurt if you do it every one in a while or if you notice your battery not lasting as long, then when you "reset it" in that way you'll gain the full capacity again if you did have that issue.
@@MaxTechOfficialdo you know which Chargie version works happily with iPhone 15 pro charging? Can you please check and advise thanks.
im at 98% after 7 months. Follow all these steps except here in my country its hot so my avg iphone temperature is 27 degrees and around 200 cycles. cant be better than this I guess.
I have a shortcut that informs me if the charging reaches 90% and then i unplug it. And no charging just for a minute. I always charge from 20-40 to 80-90%.
And so i have still 100% battery capacity in my iPhone 11, 3(!) years old.
Thank you, these are great tips. I'm frustrated when people (hi Rene Richie!) make videos that say turn on optimized battery charging and don't worry about it. You can definitely do more. If you don't want to, that's fine, but excellent and valid tips like these are important for those who do want to make the original battery last as long as possible.
I was watching this video, and your last trying to understand what was up with your hair 😅. You literally look ten years younger in that video. Someone forgot his hair spray.❤😂😂😂😂😂
iPhone I don't care much about because I'll upgrade yearly, but I do monitor my iPad Air's battery health. I never let it get above 80% and never let it sink under 20%.
I used a chargie from day one with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, limiting charging to 80% overnight, and with temperature limitation, my battery health stayed at 100% for almost a year, and suddenly dropped to 94%, and has stayed there for the last few months.
Gorgeous ❤
I have an iPhone 7 Plus, been using it since December 2016 and it is currently at 50% max capacity. Had I known about these tips before maybe it would still be around 70 or 80 percent. But then again, rechargeable batteries will degrade over time and they are not meant to last forever. I could still game on it by 2-4 hours at least, I do have another phone for calls and SMS which isn't a smartphone.
This is legit guys. Still at 100% after over 6 months. I just avoided charging it fully.
Hi is it good if my charging routine is 20-90%?
@@allyanadionecabasan3820 that’s what I am doing.
Best advice I can give: stop updating your iPhone, e.g. my iPhone 11 came out with iOS13. I did updates until iOS 14.X but didn‘t ever update higher. iOS 15 and 16 would have slowed down everything on my iPhone 11 and also have an negative impact on the battery.
Conclusion: If your iPhone comes out with a new iOS Version, you can update the next Version and then stop.
iPhone 14 came out with iOS 16, so you can update on iOS 17.X
Thats it.
Great vid, thanks. I never use wireless charging and I only use the lower wattage chargers (but more than 5W!). But that optimized charging stuff (80% and above) is not for me. Thanks for the info. +1
How many watts do you use????
Yes I am rarely charging at night and make sure not to go to 80 85%. Charging as well with a 10 watt wire charger
Tbh going above 80 is not that bad if you use it right after. Usually it stays full % for not so much time, I started charging to 85/90 and it is a safe+quality of life value. I find more important to start charging at 35/40%
My iPhone 12 is at 87% it’s hammered like crazy used a lot with Xcode testing apps and watching a lot of UA-cam tho I usually keep it around 25% to 90%, they is always the option of a power bank if gets bad someday.
4:00 I didn't understand what do you mean by storing??
Great! My iPhone 11 Pro from 2019 still have 90% of its battery capacity 😅
My iPhone 11:
- only 5W charging between 20-80% most of the time
- roughly 1.5hr/day Screen on time
- 3.5 years old
Result: 91% battery health
avg temps in the country i live in is 40 digrees C and peak is 43 C
My iPhone 13 Pro is still at 100% after 16 months and more than 200 charging cycles. The only thing I do for this is avoiding less than 20% capacity and stop charging at about 92-96%. With this, I feel very comfortable.
my 13 pm 89% bh with 300 cycles.
do u top up charging iphone say when u want to go out and battery like at 50%?
I charged my XS Max and 13 Pro Max the same way (5w overnight, with fast charger top ups during the day and keeping it from running too low on charge), same chargers, and similar amounts of use each. After 1 year, the XS Max was at 100% health, and the 13 Pro Max was at around 95%. The XS Max was at 98% after 26 months (630 charge cycles) and my 13 Pro Max is at 92% after 18 months (410 cycles)... I think there is definitely an element of luck involved.
Definitely. Some are shipped above capacity. my 14 Pro Max is currently at 104% using coconut battery. It’s been like that for two months.
@@ebubeawachie yes! Most people don’t realise this and that’s why some iPhones last over a year at 100%. They have degraded, just not below 100%. Both my XS Max and 13 Pro Max were around the 105% mark as well when new
@@ebubeawachie you mean battery health capacity can be above 100%???how possible??and in which variants????
My 14 Pro Max is at 93% after 6 months 😢
@@kwamesarpong41 the battery mah capacity is rated at a certain amount for each device. For example, a phone with a 5000mah battery is realistically the average capacity the batteries will be guaranteed to achieve. However due to chemical variations when manufacturing the batteries, every new battery will have slightly different capacity. This means most batteries come at or above the rated capacity and you will most likely have more than the 5000mah advertised, sometimes it could be 5020mah or it could be 5300mah. This is where the luck comes in!!
If your battery had 5300mah, that means it can lose 300mah of capacity and still be considered at 100% health. Your phone will only show as high as 100% in settings but this is why some phones last over a year before dropping below 100%.
Haha. After listening to your tips, I am a battery murderer. I have a one-year old 13 ProMax, and the battery health is already down to 88% 🤦🏽♂️ Solid content as always Max Tech team!
😂 Good to know he delivers!
How did that happen? This seems like a fault from apples end
@@teeeee9174 years ago I had a similar battery issue with my iPhone 5 ((yeah- that long ago)) I took it to the Genius Bar. Even though It was out of its 1-year warranty the Genius rep gave a new iPhone 5. Don’t know if that was policy/procedure, but I should get another appointment with the Genius Bar.
Biggest point missed is screen on time. The more you use your phone the more you need to charge and more charge cycles completed. My phone screen time is 8 hours a day and in 1.7 years I’m at 86%. My ipad screen time is like 2 hours and even after 5 years i can get easy 6-7 hour battery life
why you guys don't use HDR resolution in your videos?
I bought the 13 pro max the same month it came out... still at 97% *fist pump*
and by the way, I drain my battery out once a week.
My iPhone 14 pro max battery health right now 97%, after 6 month intensive use i think its not bad result
Using your phone at dark mode all time will drain battery less, will also do less cycle, this is very important.
I created a simple notification command when my iPhone is more than 80% charged. And then unplug it 😃
Pleased you covered this. With iPhone 12 Pro Max I bought an Apple case and wireless charger. Within 8 month the battery health was 86%. I was horrified as it was still so new. Bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max and used wired charging only (skipped 14 pro max as didn’t seem worth paying all that money for very few improvements), and here we are in May and my iPhone still has 100% battery life!
I have a 12PM, and the Apple felt/rubber macsafe case. Almost 2yrs old now. Mainly used the magsafe charging. Only used cord when need fast charge. Used phone daily in car for gps, vent mount, cold, or hot air blowing on it. Batt health is 93%. Not sure why yours degraded so rapidly. This phone, the most hardy phone i have had. All the past Android phones i had, even the ones with removable batt, would loose nearly 50% of their health after just one year.
It is so disappointing that Apple cannot program IPhones and IPads to stop charging at 80%. My old Toshiba laptop has had this function for years and this function is also available in Windows. I have to assume that Apple makes to much money on changing batteries and devices
They kinda do have this function with the smart charging setting, which doesn't charge it to 100% immediately at night until right before you need it, that is good enough for most people I think and during the day you have more control over it, to plug it in and unplug after however long you want
Yea android has this.
What’s the point of keeping capacity to 100% when you only charge up to 80%? It’s might be the same as having 80% battery capacity fully charged. Maybe a well managed iphone can make the second hand buyer happy since I only use it less than 2 or 3 years.
My phone was 100% for a year. Just did this 20-80 thing! I created a shortcut automation that would notify me when the phone reached 80%
I just had to replace the battery in my iPhone 12 pro Max that's not even 2 years old because the health was at 84% and the phone was acting up randomly. Asurion came to my house and replaced the battery for free but in reality I pay every month for insurance on the phone so it wasn't really " Free".
One more tip is to avoid charging the phone when it’s below freezing (0C) let it warm up to room temperature before charging it.
Letting the phone die altogether is the biggest battery killer. I try and never go below 20% and certainly not less than 10% and 6 months in, my 14 Plus is still on 100%
My iPhone 13 pro has the most degrading battery ever. From my experience fast charging is definitely harmful. As soon as I stopped using fast charger the battery degradation slowed down a lot.
Nice tips, but i will have to disagree on the 20%-80% range based on my experience.
My iPhone 13 Pro Max was charging since day one using the original fast charger and the original USB cable.
The charger was connected on a smart outlet that when the iPhone hit 80% the charger would shut off.
Not more than 10 times my battery went down from 20%.
No wireless charging and no magsafe accessories.
Optimised charging on.
Apple's Clear case.
Within 9 months, my iPhone went from 100% to 92% of battery health.
With my iPhone 14 Pro Max I let myself go, not worrying about these stuff.
I'm not monitoring my charging habits anymore.
I'm using magsafe chargers (ESR HaloLock MagSafe Kickstand) with the original fast charger and a type c to type c cable from belkin, as well as a Baseus 15w Magsafe Stand paired with a type c to type c cable from belkin and a UGREEN 66w dual type c charger.
I let it charge overnight and I charge it whenever I find it convenient through the day using any type c fast charger/cable and my ESR HaloLock MagSafe Kickstand that is always on the phone.
Optimised charging on.
Apple's Clear case.
7 months in, still at 100%.
Both brand new, same usage overtime.
I'ts not a big deal to loose 1%-8% over 7-9 months.
But it still makes you angry especially if you are actively monitoring your every move in order to be the best battery user out there.
The 13 Pro Max must be particularly bad for battery health. Mine drained from 100% to 91% in about 6 months.
My 13 Pro went from 91% to 85% in 6 months as well.
I just think the 13 Pro series didn’t ship with batteries that had some extra capacity over the rated value.
Bro mines at 93% and I got it at launch I do remember I forgot to turn off optimize battery for like 2-3 months
If u don't use Magsafe charging, no GPS when outside, don't use navigation/plug 12v car charger in because it heats up your phone, limit screen brightness (and thus visibility) when outside, don't charge over 80 %, you will limit the usability of your phone very much. U could just as well bought a cheaper phone with a dimmer screen, smaller battery etc? Some other tips are okay to keep in mind.
I bought a magsafe charger when I got my 12 pro max…killed my battery after 1 year went to 82%, stopped using it battery stopped dying , was using it over night , other wireless chargers and fast chargers don’t do this , maybe I had a defective model
My battery just hit 99% this month, June, and I'm like damn it.
I live in Phoenix AZ. RIP iPhone.
iPhone 12 Pro Max at 100% battery health since launch day, YEAH!
Mine is still 100%
Tips from me, charge phone of gets to 10%. Stop charge at 99%. Never charge it over night,
I have never used wired charging, I always wireless charge.
Along with the optimised battery charging feature, that's the rules I followed and remain at 100%.
The phone has been to Thailand with me 3 times also, so you know it gets hot there. 👍
no need to preserve anything because my iPhone had a good battery nowadays and what i do is simple you close all the widgets and left only matters and close everything that no need such as in the iCloud or background refresh etc and you will have a good battery life for sure
My iPhone 14 Pro battery is at 100% and I got it on day one.
Wow
Mine is still at 100% 😁
What? 62-72 degrees for room temperature? That’s the cold range for me. I can barely handle my room below 72. I freeze up when I wake up. By the way, my iPhone’s battery health is at 90% after 11 months because I use it more than 9 hours a day.
My iPhone 13 Pro Max, which I got on launch day, still has 100%
That means you got scam or you never use it. Battery can not be 100% when you use your iPhone around 3~8 hours a day.
@@KelvinKMSBatteries don't all have the same health, some have more, I think I just got one with like 104% battery
Trouble is, only using your iPhone between 20% and 80% effectively gives you 60% of your battery life for use
Simply don’t use your phone that will keep your battery health percentage 💯 %
Easy peasy
Using my phone 6h/day keeping it between 35-to 85% with a 7w belkin wire charger and my 29 months old 12 pro has 92% health
