There are many tips on how to charge your mobile phone to extend the life of the battery.
Among other things, experts say that you should keep the charge level between 20 and 80 percent, and never either empty it completely or charge it fully. Charging above and below this limit puts more strain on the battery. Therefore, you should also not leave the phone plugged in for longer than necessary.
Apple warns
Fortunately, modern smartphones have functions that can take care of this for you.
On the iPhone, for example, there is “optimized battery charging”, which uses machine learning to optimize battery life and does not charge above 80 percent “until you need it”, that is, before you usually disconnect the phone.
Introduces charging limit
With the launch of the iPhone 15, Apple introduces a new setting that puts a complete stop to charging above 80 percent, the website writes MacRumors.
If you have one of the new iPhones, you will receive a notification about the new charging setting the first time you charge your phone. Then you can go to Settings > Battery > Battery health and charging > Optimizing charging. Here you will find three options:

Whether the new charging setting will come to older iPhone models is unknown. IN the discussion forum to MacRumors, it is speculated whether it will be available to everyone in an upcoming iOS 17 update.
