iPhone 16 Series

Question regarding chargers.

My 2-year old 13 had battery health of 95% when I traded it in on a 16 Pro. I consider that excellent. Always used the standard Apple 20w (IIRC) charger. I have a 30w Snüg charger for the iPad that I am using for my phone now too. It charges very rapidly but I wonder how good it is longer term? I know Apple says 30w is fine and battery and charger management and all that. My experience with other non-lithium batteries seems to point to slower being better.

I'm leaning toward getting a lower wattage charger to maintain battery health. I normally charge overnight and don't often have a need for very quick charging. What say you guys?

Don’t overthink it.

Just let Apple take care of it and don’t waste your mental energy worrying about this stuff.

Honestly, if you're replacing your phone every 2 years I wouldn't worry about optimising charging. Also, you can replace the battery at the iStore in 2 years time if it's really busted and you decide to keep the phone for longer. I would keep using the 30w charger, as it has probably made your life easier to have a single charger for your iPad and phone.
 
Fewer iPhone buyers are paying up for storage upgrades in the US

The share of iPhone buyers in the US that are paying up to upgrade from the base storage trim declined in 2024. The latest report from the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) looks at the percentage of iPhone buyers upgrading the base storage trim on their iPhones for the December quarters in 2023 and 2024, and the results show a decline across the board.

The findings also suggest that more consumers now rely on cloud storage, which is a big revenue driver for Apple. Apple currently has three base iPhone storage trims - 64GB for the iPhone SE (2022), 128GB for the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 256GB for the 16 Pro Max.

Upgrading from the 64GB iPhone SE (2022) to the version with 128GB storage is $50, while the 128 to 256GB upgrade on the iPhone 14, 15 and 16 series is $100. The 256GB to 512GB upgrade on the 16 Pro Max is $200, while the 1TB version is $300 more than the baseline 256GB trim.
