iPhone 14 discussions

My iPhone 13 Pro is on 96% - bought last year Oct.

Original Power brick and MagSafe charger used

Never let it go below 30%

Was on 100% up until June then dropped to 99% and now 96%

To be honest, wasn’t expecting that. :O

The smart people can explain what causes battery deterioration

Heat is one of the major factors as well as cycles (complete discharge and recharge)
 
I charge my phone when it's close to 30% and take it off when it's between 80 - 90%. Use an Anker 20W brick...really comes down to usage imo

I noticed my phone came off the MagSafe or wireless charger much warmer than off a normal charger (and my iPhone 12 dropped to 90% in about 8 months) so with the 14 I've almost always charged it using a 5w apple charger, so far so good.

I know about the heat it dissipates but for me it's the convenience of MagSafe. Just place the phone on the stand when going to bed or while at my desk working.

I don't mind paying the 1.2K for a battery replacement, just that the original battery needs last at least 2 years.

I'll continue with MagSafe...
 
My 13 Pro bought in December 21 is on 91% at the moment. Was fine for ages and then suddenly dropped the last few months. I only use the Apple brick, but have a 2m threaded cable (cause Apple’s are flimsy). I’ll put it down to increased usage as I’ve been confined to my bed most of the time due to a back injury so have been doomscrolling a lot during work, etc.

My take on this, in the past I was constantly worrying about battery health on all my devices - but you know what, it just gives one unnecessary headaches and distract one from enjoying your devices.

So what if one oke still has 100% battery health on his iPhone after four months, and the other oke has fallen to 95% in the same time frame? I personally feel these measurements are not 100% foolproof anyway.

Constantly stressing about what the best way to charge is, is so unnecessary, we have bigger problems in life! (should I keep it on charge overnight? is it good for the battery? use wireless charging - don't use wireless charging, charge it when it drops below 20% or 30% or 60%, stop charging above 80% - whatever!!)

Just look after your devices, don't pull it through your a*s, there is no golden rule as each and everyone's usage habits and needs differ.

My iPhone is on 87% battery health after 2 years and a month, yeah sure it is not AS good as when it was brand spanking new, but it is still decent. I don't, at this stage, expect it to last as long as it did when it was new, or as long as a newer model would last. My 7 year old iPad Pro still lasts me a good decent 8-9 hours (not far off from the claimed - when new - 10 hours).

Even my 7 year old Watch's battery still lasts more or less the same when it was brand new (which is really impressive), I don't even know what the battery health on it is, as it is the first generation, and the battery health measurement only became available on later WatchOS versions, which my Watch doesn't support.

Just at least make sure optimized battery charging is on.
