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 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.
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.
@@pug_63this is also my favourite feature of the iWatch. Got the gps version, but being able to download playlists and leave my phone behind is liberating.
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.
@anthonycampbell9807 I'm searching for the same use case I found a small adapter from Ugreen that goes in the usb so u can plug the original apple usb c in the other side of it, and it can take to 18w but u r just using the 5w so pretty convenient, I didn't found the same adapter from Anker but I think Ugreen p4ovide a same quality. Have u found another solution?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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!
U are awesome! Love your tips and advices. Indeed they are true. I’m using the iPhone 16 Pro Max and I just use the original 20 watts brick adapter and the original 2 meters braided nylon type c cable for my iPhone. Even my iPhone 15 Pro Max battery after one year of usage is at 95% of capacity. I don’t use wireless charger as it will gets very hot.
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.
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..
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.
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?
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.
Charging speed does not matter. There’s tests to prove this. It’s the heat that matters. If u can fast charge and keep the phone cool it’ll do the same wear as the slow charger.
@@kidnextdxxr normal phones do not have battery cooling, and heat is always created when charging. There are 200w fast charging phones specifically made for this. But normal phones shouldnt be fast charged.
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.
I use the Apple 20 watt charger and there is zero heat while charging…my phone feels cool while charging actually, so I see no harm in using the 20 watt charger all the time. With my iPhone 16 I also keep the battery charging limit set at 85%. I’ve never had an iPhone that gets battery life as good as my 16 has. It’s fantastic.
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.
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 👍
Iphone 15 Pro Max here, whats the best wattage charger to charge my phone. Is 20w good, i believe it charges too fast less than 1 hour, can i go watt lesser
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.
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:)
Hi great video, thanks ☺️. Is it good to switch the iPhone off at night? Or is it best to just leave it on. Any effect on battery health to switch it off?
I recently got my 14 pro max brand new on 08/04/2024. I have my old 20W anker charger, the nano line up since it is not bulky and heavy lol. I've purchased a new charger which is 30W GaN charger from anker, still with their nano line up and a new cord but when I used it for 2 days, my battery wen't to 99%. Im quite intrigued and also wondering if I purchased wrong wattage for my iphone. I also observing it, and it doesn't warm that much tho.
@@heathermoran6134just an update, I used it for a month now, it doesn’t drain my battery health percentage! It’s still 99 lol. I think it was pure coincidence 🤭.
I’m going to get an iPhone 15 pro and I don’t know if it’s worth getting a 2m charger as my 2020 macbook air that I got this year has a usb-c to usb-c so I could just use that which is 2m, but not use the brick which the macbook came with and use my iPhone charger brick (i have the iPhone 15 currently which is ucb-c to lighting) so I just want know if can I use my iPhone charging brick with my macbook charger or will that damage the iPhone battery? Otherwise I save my save £30 on having to pay for an iPhone charger🤣
I got a multi port charger off Amazon. Two 65w ports 3 30w those all type c then 3 type a 20w ports. Paired with a u green 240w cable and 3 braided Apple cables
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
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.
I’m new to iPhone and have been an Android user since smart phones came out (I’m not a hater, lol. Getting used to Apple and have been pleasantly surprised with the 16 Pro Max). Great phone so far and is getting better as I figure out the foreign OS. I appreciate this video because I don’t want to fry my new phone by connecting it directly to a source that could power a Cybertruck in 20 mins or less, lol. Thank you for posting this!! One caveat to this video, and if this was a sponsor, I get the hustle, but there is no such thing as “vegan leather”. I mean, call it what you may, but it is “pleather”, plain and simple. This new term is misleading and totally untrue as if there WAS such a thing, it couldn’t be called leather as leather comes from animal hides. It’s either a vegan phone case or pleather, and why they would even combine the two word is an insult to vegans or trickery to people like me that enjoy real leather. Marketing garbage to make more money out of a les-than-par product. Just tell it as it is, plastic that is made to (loosely) resemble leather that is sold at the cost of leather for dollars on the penny. Why would a vegan (if they really hate the animal thing) want a product that resembles animal hide, and why would someone that likes leather want plastic that resembles the same?? This product technically shouldn’t attract anyone unless the price was below the expectations of vegans or leather lovers…. Bet it isn’t! Anyways, not a poke at you. Great video otherwise. I just cannot stand marketing ploys, especially when they make absolutely no sense, cost more than the alternatives and if you really think about it, have no audience outside of shady wordsmithing… Cheers!
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 .
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 ?
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
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, 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
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.
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
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 ??
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.

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 didn’t know that so my iPhone 15 will stop charging by itself. I don’t have to unplug it. And I’ll also guys just buy a new battery. Keep the same phone and buy a new battery. They’re like $100 depending on the phone that you have or you can get a cheaper somewhere. 😅
I Charge my iPhone with a 5W charger. Its battery health has drained only 1% in the last 2 year. But I use a 20W charger for my iPad. It has drained 4% in 8 months.
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.
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.

I did very similar 👌❣️🌞
So do you prefer magsafe or wired charging?
Apple says 1000 cycles it should be at 80% so ur actually spot on with it
i charge my iphone 11 pro max overnight, every single day, its been 5 years now, health is at 79% . Yolo guys , last me a whole day

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
better the 5w block gets hot rather than the phone itself
Is it ok if i charge my iPad pro 2nd gen with 30 watt usb c apple charger instead of apple 20 watt charger ?
Is it reliable to use third party adapters to charge an iPhone? For instance: Anker adapter
Please let me know
Hi great video, thanks ☺️. Is it good to switch the iPhone off at night? Or is it best to just leave it on. Any effect on battery health to switch it off?
I recently got my 14 pro max brand new on 08/04/2024. I have my old 20W anker charger, the nano line up since it is not bulky and heavy lol. I've purchased a new charger which is 30W GaN charger from anker, still with their nano line up and a new cord but when I used it for 2 days, my battery wen't to 99%. Im quite intrigued and also wondering if I purchased wrong wattage for my iphone. I also observing it, and it doesn't warm that much tho.
I almost ordered the anker just a few mins ago. Thank you for putting this out here! I think I’ll stick with apples charging brick to be safe
@@heathermoran6134just an update, I used it for a month now, it doesn’t drain my battery health percentage! It’s still 99 lol. I think it was pure coincidence 🤭.
Should I get 20W or 30W USB-C power adaptor for iPhone 16 Pro Max from Apple Store? I don’t know what’s the difference.
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
I’m going to get an iPhone 15 pro and I don’t know if it’s worth getting a 2m charger as my 2020 macbook air that I got this year has a usb-c to usb-c so I could just use that which is 2m, but not use the brick which the macbook came with and use my iPhone charger brick (i have the iPhone 15 currently which is ucb-c to lighting) so I just want know if can I use my iPhone charging brick with my macbook charger or will that damage the iPhone battery? Otherwise I save my save £30 on having to pay for an iPhone charger🤣
So happy if found this video so helpful, exactly what I was looking for
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
Can I use my Huawei laptop's 65 watts power brick to charge my iPhone 13?
I got a multi port charger off Amazon. Two 65w ports 3 30w those all type c then 3 type a 20w ports. Paired with a u green 240w cable and 3 braided Apple cables
Samsung TAVER ADAPTER Wireless
Thank Dear
ok
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for the charging tips…👍
Great tips love this! Just got my iphone 16 pro!
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
Very helpful. Thanks for the video Dion
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips, Dion! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Eduardo, thanks for the compliment!
i need a suggestion bro, when i charge my 14 pro max with 5 watt apple adapter, the adapter hit to much but not hit my phone-. is it safe and normal?
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
@Dion Schuddeboom
Can you please suggest some mfi verified charging cables for overnight charging with 5w chargers?
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
Is it ok to charge it with the MacBook Air charger? I was thinking about that so I just carry 1 charger
Is it safe to use third party adapters?
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??
If i will use 5w wireless charger is it will be safe? For daily overnight charging
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
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.
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…
I’m new to iPhone and have been an Android user since smart phones came out (I’m not a hater, lol. Getting used to Apple and have been pleasantly surprised with the 16 Pro Max). Great phone so far and is getting better as I figure out the foreign OS. I appreciate this video because I don’t want to fry my new phone by connecting it directly to a source that could power a Cybertruck in 20 mins or less, lol. Thank you for posting this!!
One caveat to this video, and if this was a sponsor, I get the hustle, but there is no such thing as “vegan leather”. I mean, call it what you may, but it is “pleather”, plain and simple. This new term is misleading and totally untrue as if there WAS such a thing, it couldn’t be called leather as leather comes from animal hides. It’s either a vegan phone case or pleather, and why they would even combine the two word is an insult to vegans or trickery to people like me that enjoy real leather. Marketing garbage to make more money out of a les-than-par product. Just tell it as it is, plastic that is made to (loosely) resemble leather that is sold at the cost of leather for dollars on the penny. Why would a vegan (if they really hate the animal thing) want a product that resembles animal hide, and why would someone that likes leather want plastic that resembles the same?? This product technically shouldn’t attract anyone unless the price was below the expectations of vegans or leather lovers…. Bet it isn’t!
Anyways, not a poke at you. Great video otherwise. I just cannot stand marketing ploys, especially when they make absolutely no sense, cost more than the alternatives and if you really think about it, have no audience outside of shady wordsmithing…
Cheers!
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 ?
sir do u want ice in your drink : yes and no
Never!
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
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
As always, very helpful and informative content.
Thanks
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..
Where can you buy those chargers that you’re using?
Online
@@aidentamgamer I can’t find that one online. Can you link it perhaps?
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.
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
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
Is it ok if i use a samsung 25w brick charger on my 15 pro?? Thanks
Yes, it’ll take advantage of it as it supports up to 27W.
Thank you man, very informative video 👏
Glad it was helpful!
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!
Is it okay to use other smartphone brands charger for overnight charging??? (5 or 10Watt charger Adaptor)
yes
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’m using a 20w charger is it okay?
Sir , can i charge my iphone 15 overnight with optimise battery chargering option??
Is it best for my iPhone's battery life ?
Does charging everytime to 100% degrades the battery?
Yes, that’s why 80% charging limits exist. 20-80 is the healthiest range.
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
Thank You!, this is exactly the info that i needed 🔥
Glad it was helpful!
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 ??
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.
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
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
Dion, We need a updted video for 2024.
I love this big man! 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻.
I didn’t know that so my iPhone 15 will stop charging by itself. I don’t have to unplug it. And I’ll also guys just buy a new battery. Keep the same phone and buy a new battery. They’re like $100 depending on the phone that you have or you can get a cheaper somewhere. 😅
i usually dont charge my iphone overnight but when i do i take my cover off to dissipate the heat faster
A clever practice!
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
Is it okay to leave a phone on charge overnight?
Hi Carlos, no problem but preferably on a low Watt
I Charge my iPhone with a 5W charger. Its battery health has drained only 1% in the last 2 year. But I use a 20W charger for my iPad. It has drained 4% in 8 months.
