Do you have any charge tips to add? 😃🔋
i dont even have an iphone
Do not use your cellphone while charging
Well, I guess everything is covered. I don’t have anything else to add.
So just a question. Charging your iPhone overnight won't affect the battery health?
I heard several times that is good to keep battery between 20% and 80% in order to have less battery degradation. I do not know if it makes sense.
Thank you for this video. Needed a video like this for bricks and cables and wireless charging pros and cons.
I use the same 20W charging brick for my Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad. I use the Watch for sleep tracking, so charge it during my “morning routine”. I also try and stagger charging the other 2, so they don’t die simultaneously. I suppose you have to weigh up what you prefer - battery longevity or faster charging.
True
Same here charge the apple watch SE 2 in the am while catching up on work emails. Then a little bit during my post evening workout shower and I have never come close to running out of battery. It is the cell version and I have to say it worked great on my afternoon walk yesterday sans iPhone and with my bluetooth headphones connected.
I charge the iPhone to about 85-90% in the am and then don't usually worry about it during the day if I am out and about.
@@robertosmmjlist I’ve stopped taking my iPhone on dog walks. Don’t have cellular, but the Watch’s storage means I can download some music, podcasts or audio books and just wear my 1st Gen Echo Buds.
I always charge as slow as possible with the benefit of a battery that wears down 50% slower compared to always fast charging. Had an argument with someone that provided his numbers on a similarly old phone and it shows.
Very helpful. Thanks for the video Dion
Glad it was helpful!
The bigger battery of the promax(and plus) also helped change the way I charge. Cause with the 14promax I no longer see the need to charge at night to wakeup with 100% battery. I can just plug it in my 20w charger when I wake up, prepare for the day, and by the time I leave the house, whether it topped up at 70,80 or 90%, i am confident that it will last me through the day. And when I get to bed, battery hovers around 20-40%, and I just repeat the cycle. Cant say the same with my iphone 12 back then cause that really needed to be 100% at the start of the day to last me the whole day.
Now what’s ur battery health on the 14??
@@ik8445 its at 93% after 1.5yrs which I think is much better than my previous iphone 12. That thing was down to 85% after the same period.

Great tips, Dion! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Eduardo, thanks for the compliment!
i try to charge to only 75-80%
and discharge to no less than 30% on most cases.
now it's over 1000 full charge cycles and over 4 years, and the health is at 79%. pretty good. i'd say exceeded the expected health by a lot.
Yes 20 to 80 is great, you can do 10 or 15 to 85, but around 20 to 80% not always every time and 1ce in 7 charges move the electrons all the way to 100 to flow that top 20% juice. Wi-Fi charging heats more and is slower, fast cable cahrgin doesn't harm the battery at all, as this guy didn't give temperature examples and how long the battery stay at given temperature with slow and fast. On Android I have measured Wats, how the controller manages good temperature limited to 39-40C max and the higher the percentage the colder it gets, but you get to 80 in minutes, so you are not harming more then slow, maybe the same but charging 4-5 times faster and maybe even more healthy.
I did very similar 👌❣️🌞
My own tips is everytime I charge my iPhone using wired charging, I put my phone cooler at the same time when it is charging. With this, I can reduce the temperature of my phone a lot more.
same hehe
I use my cold breath
Love your videos, always informative and different with others. Otsukaresamadeshita!
Happy to hear that!
You get a USB-C to Lightning cable in the box anyways (I assume for switching from Android to iOS), so you can use a USB-C brick to charge your phone. Most Android phones have a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, so getting this brick is extremely convenient.
My last iphone was iphone x got it on release. I love the over all design language of that phone. I still have it but opt not to use it as much nowadays. It still works fine though. I still charge it atleast thrice a month with the original charger to prolongbits life because i intend to keep it till it last since its my very first and last iphone i work hard to have it. I believe using its original charger will help the battery for its longevity. Im doning a71 for now for its all i can afford, it does have all the features of todays smartphones. Ill go back to apple eco when i can afford its latest flagship.
As always, very helpful and informative content.
Thanks
super helpful videos recently:) you really helped with my decision what what Apple Watch to buy and then what screen protector. I need a new charger soon and this is perfect! Thanks so much:)
my pleasure
Thank you for the charging tips…👍
i have been wirelessly charging my iPhone 14 pro with an anger 622 wireless battery pack with the charge through option. Works great although it is only 7.5W but also does not heat up when in charge through. it does however heat up when using it to charge as a back up battery. Overall I don't charge my phone past 85% unless I am heading out for the day.
Good stuff..Thank you!
Thank you man, very informative video 👏
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this informative video and updating us on the various myths like charging overnight is bad for your phone.
thank you for the tips
Thank you for clearing it up, right now I’ve just been keeping the battery between 20-90% and only reached 100% once and you’re right, regardless the battery will degrade over time and I use a 20W official apple charger with the new braded usb c cable for my iPhone 15 pro and had no issues at all and now I’ve been letting it charge without using the phone and not touching it to not overheat it and plan to not over think too much about it, once the battery degrades I can just replace it 👍
I have a 10w Motorola branded charger brick that I use with either an apple branded lightning cable or the Motorola USB c cable that brick came with. It has worked great for me and doesn't produce any heat.
Thank You!, this is exactly the info that i needed 🔥
Glad it was helpful!
I’m looking forward to a new/updated version of this for the new iPhone 15 models with iOS17.
Great vid, thnx for the tips as always. I’m charging my 13 mini with MagSafe every night, with optimized battery charging, battery health after 9 months is 96%. Not bad for a mini 🙂🙂
If you have used wired one, that 4 % could also have been saved, as wireless charging will generate heat and will wear out battery little bit earlier. And it is less efficient too..
My 13 Mini is at 99%, I have been using it since December 2021. I bought Apple Magsafe, used it once only because the battery was hot during charging.
I use the old 5W Apple charger most of the times and sometimes the 20W charger
My 13 Mini is at 90% battery health after 10 months of 20w charging
My tip is if magsafe chargers which (balkin) are available in the market and if they are available at lesser prices compared to the apple chargers. Then we can use it for charging.
Your videos are informative.
Thanks Shabbir
I prevent my apple cable from fraying further with a bit of masking tape. Works perfectly and saves money on cables.
Thank you for being factual about the charging speed and magsafe with heat :)
My pleasure!
Factual is showing how much degrees the batt. controller allows the battery to reach and does it get even colder getting in the higher percentage like my 67W android. If the slow charge is keeping 32C for 2h+, and my Android is pulling 50, themn 40, then 30Watts meanwhile keeping the temp limited at 39C and when I get to higher as 70% it starts getting cooler, if I push it to 90 and 100 at the lat 5 the watts are not 40W, not even 4W (in the top percentage) and then batt. temp is not capped at 39C but 28C. So which one is better? I know my answer dealingwith Android, but for iPhone I would like to see some numbers, I am pretty confident they will manage in the same way, which would mean fast is not going to wear more than slow(need facts though, I have 1200 charges, maybe 500 cycles on one flagship Android with "claimed 67W)- so far it has been doing great for 1,5years.
Great informative video. What charging brick would you suggest for using magsafe for overnight charging. And do you think it's okay to use magsafe for overnight charging?
Thanks for your question. You need a 15Watts brick. From a long life battery health perspective it is best to use a wired connection: less heat, less wearing down the battery
I understand that heat affects the lifespan of lithium-ion smartphone batteries and that wired charging is often recommended. However, I can't find any specific studies on the long-term effects of wireless charging.
For example, if I charge my phone wirelessly for two years, how would the battery health be affected? Let's assume I don't use it for gaming and always keep it charged between 20% and 80%. How would the battery health compare to a phone that was charged with a wired connection?
Hola from Winter Park Colorado! You have read my mind with this video!!!
:)
Is it ok if i charge my iPad pro 2nd gen with 30 watt usb c apple charger instead of apple 20 watt charger ?
Thanks a lot
I have the iPhone 14 Plus and have wasted money on after market change cables and charger blocks i am thankful i finally figured out to only use apple change cables and 20w. Change blocks I've had my iPhone 14 Plus for three months now! Only apple everything!
Very helpful 👍
Glad you think so!
Ur underrated 😮. 💜 ur videos and thx for tips..
My iPhone 14 Plus easily lasts full day so I only charge when it drops to 25% and charge upto 80%. Hope this doesn't degrade battery..
Thanks Mirza. and your approach is excellent
@@DionMedia Thx for ur reply 😁and approving my charging habit. I was bit confused until I watched ur video.. 👍🏼👍🏼
The 80% rule is more if you leave your phone unused, as its not healthy for a battery to stay at high or low percentages for a long time. However if you naturally go through the battery through the day and don't leave it full for many hours, then there's no harm in a 100% charge.
I am using samsung 7.5w charger to charge my iphone 15 and it is just amazing… minimal to no heat generated and I am charging it overnight
@Dion Schuddeboom
Can you please suggest some mfi verified charging cables for overnight charging with 5w chargers?
Thank u 😊
i dont know why, but I charge my 13 Pro with the magsafe charger and use it everyday until 30% and recharge overnight for about 7 months and I still have 100% battery health
That’s because iphone cannot accurately read the true number. You can use a shortcut to find the true number
@@Sky-qd2jm Shortcut? How?
If your using 70% EVERY day, I don’t think it’s counting properly..
Me who uses 120w charger for close to year
It's impossible, you will se that next time it updates you may have 92% or something. You will lose about 10% a yr
I’m curious if using charger bricks that is above the supported wattage causes the iPhone’s battery health to dwindle? Like the 11 Pro if I’m not mistaken, it is good only for up to 18 watts then they gave you a 20 watts charger.
No, it does not, as Apple has an inbuilt system to accept a certain limit. It will take what I can handle
Thank you. However I got a brand new 14 pro 6 days ago and i watched the battery go down from 100% to 98% could it be the 5G i use? I don’t use wifi…
Lovely😊thank you
Thanks
very good video
Great video
Thanks!
If i will use 5w wireless charger is it will be safe? For daily overnight charging
Say I dont wanna charge overnight.. So can I use my Iphone 7 charger for Iphone 13??.. Or does it effect the battery life of 13..
you talked about to use mfi certified cables, but should it be the same for the chargers? Because I am using an anker charger and as I know it is not mfi certified. Is it still ok or it is better to use another brand?
Hi Karl, sorry for the late reaction. Good question. There is no MFI certified program for chargers, so you can use anyone, but I would still stick to the bettrer known brands
Anker is a trusted brand.
Hey Dion, instead of the regular iPhone charging brick, can I use a MacBook Air charger (30 watts) to charge iPhone 14 pro max? Will it affect battery health in the long run?
Yes
I am getting serious chills just looking at your iPhone hanging from the lanyard 😅 06:00
:)
Good tips. Keep it cool and you’ll be cool 😎
:)
i still use the 5 watt charger for my 15 pro when charging at night. no where near the heat of using a 25w
what cable do you use?
I have 20 watt apple official charger, its use for 11 pro, is it correct way,,,,,,,,,
I notice a difference I can feel with my iphone 12. even with slow charging it heats up when charging above 85% now.
Thanks for sharing
Please respond, is it actually safe to charge over night or does it smart- charge throught then night???
It is very safe to charge over night
Bro my battery health is 91 percent after 15 month use on iphone 14 .i charge it on my iPad fast adapter it gets over heating and degrading my battery health. Should i charge it on 5 watt charger because i have no worries for fast charging ??
Hey , i have been charging my new 14 pro max with the 67 watt macbook adapter from last 20 days. Do you guys think it damaged my battery ?
Well, iPhone allows only 27W, so it does not use 40 in your case. Because of the iPhone system used it does not damage your battery
Im have brandnew iphone 11 .powermac gives me 30W anker adapter.i noticed some heating as i charge . Should i switch to lower 20watts?
Depends a bit on the heating, but lower in general is a good approach
I don't recall which video was it .but a guy used a thermal camera to show that 5watt charging brick gets super hot.
Interesting, do not know that video
I use MagSafe to charge my phone. That way I don’t ever have to deal with lightning. The 14 Pro and Pro Max support up to 27 watts
That was great could you do one just like this but on android phones please
Hi Jon, perhaps in the future. The rules apply up to 90% to Android as well
I’m using a 20w charger is it okay?
I have wireless iPhone megsafe charger that attaches like a magnet to the iPhone but it charges so slow!
I upgraded from the s9+ to the iPhone 14 pro and im dissapointed,on my s9+,there is software option for fast charge and cable charge,so during the night,i toggle on cable charge which charges the phone slowly,fast charging it toggled on when i need a quick top up,dissapointed these options isnt in the iphone.
Dion, We need a updted video for 2024.
At least, now I know how to charge an iPhone even though I use a Samsung. My extra tip is making it cool while charging will let it charge faster.
Where can you buy those chargers that you’re using?
Online
@@aidentamgamer I can’t find that one online. Can you link it perhaps?
I need that wallpaper plz
hey man! im thinking you probably won't see this at this point, but i cannot find ANY helpful info on this. my MagSafe charges my phone RIDICULOUSLY too slow. i bought the ESR MagSafe with the kickstand on Amazon. i have a feeling its the box adapter thing that im using with it, which is the 20w (i think?) standard Apple one that used to come with the 11 & 12 phones.
any advice? is there something i could be doing wrong?! THANK YOU 🖤🖤
hi Danny, not sure if I get your question, but wireless is substantially slower than wired.
Just charge however you want and change the battery when it goes below. Literally whatever you do they’ll push one update and boom battery is down 2-5% so why bother
i swear cheap ones charge a lot faster. however it may broke easily than orignals
Yeah but get very hot I used it once with my iPhone 13 never again
Great! I don't charge my iPhone overnight, I like to keep an eye on it so if something goes wrong I can immediately unplug it. I For me it depends on the iPhone model, the iOS version and the adapter being use IMO. I have an shortcut automation to alert me when my iPhone hits > 80% battery already so I can unplug it. I have intermittent sleep by the way.
Great tip!
Could i use a 20W overnight still tho and be fine?
Yes, you can, but for battery life the low Wattage of 5 is my best recommendation
Is it okay to use other smartphone brands charger for overnight charging??? (5 or 10Watt charger Adaptor)
yes
If i charge my 15 base with the macbook 67watt charger ,is it going to impact the battery health ?
Hi, it will not destroy your phone or so, but if you are concerned about long term battery health, then go for a low watt charger. For more details see the video
Samsung TAVER ADAPTER Wireless
Thank Dear
ok
I learnt a few tips thank you. Also, why are we calling these plugs bricks?
No idea!
Is it true you are doing giveaway for selected subscribers?????
For all subscribers as long as they meet the criteria I set out in the beginning. So far the winners of the giveaway come from Asia, North America and Europe. Best, Dion
@@DionMedia you replied to my comment that I've won,what are the terms and conditions,im from Ghana
ah, that is a scam. There are unfortunately scammers (criminals) around who impersonate me and tell people do won something. Then they have to pay upfront etc. Please do not fall for this. I will NEVER ask any money from my subscribers. Thanks and greetings to all in Ghana. Dion
I had used 20 watt charger for my i phone 13 pro
It has been year now and the battery has gone to 88 percentage
So will u recommend it??
Iphone doesn't have close all apps option; so closing each app seprately will take more power. 😛
Im using a 30w for my iphone 14
U think that okay?
Hi Pierre, it is not not ok, but a bit lower is better for your battery life
@@DionMedia yet u said 67watt is ok for someone using same iphone 14,you are contradicting😢😢😢
@@kwamesarpong41 he doesn't no what he's talking about
I violate some charging rules I use 20W MagSafe wireless charging all the time
You are forgive :)
With 20w charger..using usb c..u need 72 mins from 0-100%. And from 20% to 80% only need 45 mins. So actually i never charge mine overnight. Because i only need 45 mins or less to charge my iphone. I charge it at 9pm. Before 10 already reach 80%. Then i sleep. In the morning usually less 1-2% only. So its okay for me. 😊
i usually dont charge my iphone overnight but when i do i take my cover off to dissipate the heat faster
A clever practice!
WHY is everyone so obsessed with keeping their iphone battery from degrading, you can just change it once its fully degraded and its frly cheep. get over it there is other more imp things to worry about in life
That in itself is true
My battery % on 13 pro max dropped from 99 to 88 in just 5 months is it normal? I use it verry actively yeah but also charge it in a smart way from 20-30-80 and if I leave it for the night it happens verry rare.. Also I use original charger IdK how original it is its written on the brick designed by apple in california also on the cable but yeah still not sure about it's originality"
Hi, that is on the high side. You can check your brick on its authenticy at the Apple store or buy from them directly. Best is to charge at low watt, through cable connection
I’m confused . I only need to buy a brick and then plug in the lightning cable into it to charge via slow charging ?
And please put a link for the 5 Watt ….I don’t know what exactly I’m supposed to be typing in to buy the 5W brick .
I want to slow charge my iPhone for overnight .
you are correct, the 5 watt charger (to be used for overnight charging) should do the trick. You just need a proper cable and connect the two. Should not be a probleem
@@DionMedia thanks . Seems though it’s kind of hard to find online the 5 watt bricks .
Also , what do you suggest we clean the connectors with ? Is it safe to clean it with alcohol wipes ?
I always use 10W or less , 5W day-to-day, and it lasts all day
What type of iPhone lasts all day, from doing what, not using it?
@@worldview730 mine 13 pro max lasts all day with average using. I charge it only at night with 5W.
sir do u want ice in your drink : yes and no
Never!
My iPhone 13 Pro is at 88% battery life I use a 30 watt usb c cable idk if that’s okay I’m gonna upgrade next year
Sounds very ok to me
Where a good place for gan chargers?
Anker and U green. I worked with both brands, but can from own experience say that they sell good chargers.
But where can I buy a 5W Apple charging brick??
Any Apple store I presume or third party bricks at for example Amazon
Is it okay to leave a phone on charge overnight?
Hi Carlos, no problem but preferably on a low Watt
How about 12W charger? I believe there in the middle of slow and fast charger
That is fine, but when you are not in a hurry, the lower the better
Hey you can videos on how apple is squeezing money from customers in the name of future proofing.
Not sure:)
I’ve been told repeatedly, closing apps uses more power. What if it’s an app like Google Maps that tracks my location? Leaving that on in the background all day won’t use more power than closing the app and not having it track me all day?
Hi Mike, I would not overthink this. Just set your background settings for your preferred apps and open the others when needed.
@DionMedia background refreshing of course
just here on my samsung s9 lol
i hope the iphone 16 will have 70-100W charging.
I want a slow charger but I can’t find one that is usb-c for my 15 pro max 😭😭
I used for my ipad mini charger and I bought the usb a to usb c cable from ugreen
