How Should You Charge Your iPhone (Battery Health & More) By Daniel About Tech

How is it going everybody you're watching that about DAK in today? Let's talk about iPhone charging like how should you charge your iPhone and I know? This may seem extremely obvious, like why am I even doing this? Why am I even talking about this, but trust me there's a lot to cover here like, for example, how often should is charge your iPhone or for how many hours, or even what power breaks, should I use, because there's so many ones, so we're going to talk about much more than that like battery cycles, battery health, optimize battery charging, there's a ton here to cover and the goal of this video is to make you charge your iPhone the best way possible and, of course, the bank, a few myths as well and make your battery last much, much longer. So without further ado, let's begin so. First things. First everything I'm going to tell you in this video comes straight from Apple Support website and then have a link in the description. If you want to check it out, they have a full section on batteries and things like that. So it's not something that I made up or anything like that.

It's all backed up by Apple, so this is really important. So the first thing I want to talk about in this video is a big myth and a lot of people still believe in this and trust this, which is like how often should I charge my iPhone for how many hours at what percentage? At what point, let me tell you: you can charge your iPhone whenever you want okay, this is very, very important, so I will use lithium-ion battery, that's the technology they use and that allows you to actually charge your iPhone at your will. So for how many hours you want like the whole night, for example, that doesn't matter you don't need to charge your iPhone at a specific percentage. No, you can charge it at the percentage you want. So do it as you will.

Okay, don't worry about it. The way you charge your iPhone will not influence on the battery health or wear it out, or anything like that. Okay, you can charge just as you feel like it like. I want to charge it today for 10 percent tomorrow for um for 100%, like this night, I'm going to leave it plugged in the whole night, or maybe I just want to get 20% very quickly before I go out, you can charge at your will, so this will not affect your battery in any way. Okay, this is very important, but what affect your battery is? Actually the accessories you use, so I recommend in everyone recommends that you use Apple, authentic accessories, so authentic power bricks and authentic cables as well use the ones that come in the box or that you bought in an Apple Store or at a retailer, or something like that, but use an authentic one, because if you use authentic accessories, that will actually give you a faster charging time and also a more stable current meaning that it will not damage your battery if you use non-official non-authentic cables and power brakes and things like that, that can in fact damage your battery or your fault or something like that.

Okay, another thing that is very important and people ask me a lot is what part bridge should I use to charge. My iPhone, you can use any part, brick from Apple, that you want the small ones from five watts, so that very basic one that comes in pretty much all iPhone models, the teeny, tiny one, or you can use, of course, the most powerful ones that come in the iPhone 11 Pro 111 Pro max, which is this one right here, the 18 watts. That's the same. That comes with the new iPad pros, or you can even use like this one. For example, this is a MacBook Pro power, brick! Okay, that's let me see actually that's exactly 61 watts, so 61, so the iPhone can handle it, or he can even use the 87 one that comes in big, bigger, MacBook Pros as well.

Your iPhone can handle it. It doesn't matter because, even if it pushes more power through your iPhone, it actually uses the computer in the CPU to actually only get the energy it needs. So you don't need to worry about that. You can use any part from Apple that you want from five watts to 87 months. That's not a problem! The only good thing is, if you have let's say an iPhone 8 or later or newer.

Actually so an iPhone 8 all the way to the iPhone 11 Pro max. You can get the benefit of fast charging, but of course, you're going to need a smaller, bigger power, brick so in 18 watts or bigger. So if you have and 18 watts, charger or bigger, you can benefit from fast charging which will get you like 50% of battery in third minutes. In my testings it gets even more than that. You can get even more than that.

So this is very cool, but keep in mind you need to have an iPhone 8 or later and an 18 watt adapter or later. If you don't know exactly how to check that, you can see the information in the box. I can see the information right here in the printed letters very small there. You can have a look so there's. There are easy ways to find that a quick note is that the only iPhone that comes in the box with a fast charger is the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro max they come with the 18 watt power adapter power, brick in the box.

Okay, so we don't need to actually buy anything extra. If you want to get fast charging in all other iPhones that are compatible, you actually need to buy the adapter in the cable separately, but the iPhone 11 program, 11 pro max, already have that in the box with the original accessories. Now, let's talk about more technical stuff and I start talking about optimized battery charging. This is super cool and a lot of people have that turned on in their settings, but they have no idea what it does. So, if you gave your iPhone is running iOS, 13, okay or later, depending on when you're watching this video, you can go to settings battery, and you can enable optimize battery charging, and you have to understand that this is a very, very important feature, and you have to leave it turned on.

Why let me explain, because, in order for your iPhone to maintain the battery at 100%, while it is plugged in while it is being charged, it means that it will wear your battery out. So let's say your charger phone every night like most people do, so you go to sleep, you plug it in, and then you go to sleep, and you wake up like 6 7 8 hours later, so it's going to be charged at 100% throughout all those hours, so throughout 6, like 5 or 4 hours, more or less it's going to be at 100%, and your iPhone is gonna constantly be charged in maintaining that 100% level. That for the battery, is very, very bad because, as I said, maintaining your battery at 100% is very bad for a battery. It degrades the battery. So what optimize battery? What optimize charging does is? It will actually keep your iPhone at 80%, the at 80 percent over hours and hours and hours, and just before you wake up.

It's going to use that via machine learning and check your alarm clock and things like that. So right before you, wake up, it's gonna actually go from 80 to 100 so charge the last twenty percent. So with that keeping your iPhone only charged at 80 percent, not a hundred that will actually help your battery life, have a bigger lifespan and not degrade not wear out so fast. So this is what it does. It keeps your iPhone at 80%.

It only gives you the 20 plus the 20 extra, when you actually need it. So this is how it works. Now, let's talk about battery aging, more specifically battery health. Again, you can go to settings battery and check your battery health under settings and see what percentage of your battery health your iPhone still has like. Ninety-five percent.

Ninety-eight, ninety, eighty-five, eighty- seventy-five it depends on how old your iPhone is, and a lot of people think that you can stop that aging, or you can make it aged super slow. Actually, you can't, of course there are ways that you can have your battery aged a little slower than others, but you can't really affect your battery ages. So much, let me explain how it works. Your battery will start aging, so your battery health will start to go down from every cycle that you run through your iPhone so every day that you use your iPhone, and then you use the battery and charge it again and use it and charge it again. That's going to affect your battery health, and it's going to go down and down and down over time, there's nothing.

You can do about that. So you have to understand what a battery cycle is in order to understand battery health. So, as I said, the more cycles you use the more your battery health will go down, will decrease okay, that's pretty obvious, and what is actually a battery cycle? A lot of people get a misconception about this. They think that a battery cycle is when you have your iPhone at 100%, and then you use it all the way to zero so from 100 to zero. You use 100% of your battery, so you get one cycle, that's true! You do get one cycle if you do it like that, but also, if you, your iPhone, that 100% and usage of 50 for example, and then charge it to 100 again and use 50 one more time, that's another cycle.

One cycle of battery is when you use 100 percent of your battery. Doesn't matter how you divide that in one go and Chi goes in three goes and for girls it doesn't matter what matters is every time you discharge your battery by a hundred percent, no matter how you do that, that's one cycle and the more cycles you use so the more you use your iPhone, the worse your battery health will be so the there's. No there's not a simple calculation here like, for example, 50 cycles is 1% or 100 cycles is 2%. It's not like that. What matters is, if you, if you want your battery health at you decrease slower at a slower rate, you need to use your iPhone less, because you need to use less cycle lot less cycles in each of this charge, your iPhone less often, that's all you need to do, actually.

So, of course, you can see how much better you use a little less. But again you can't really affect your battery health, because you can't really affect your battery cycle. There's nothing! You can do on your iPhone regarding how you charge it or how you use it to actually present prevent battery cycles to be counted. One two and three or four I believe that's pretty clear. Okay, so that's pretty much it guys.

I just wanted to talk about very, very important information regarding battery charging iPhone battery charging and what you should do, what you shouldn't do, debunk of your myths as I said, and make you understand, battery Health cycles, optimize battery charging, how you should charge your iPhone and all of that I believe that was pretty pretty clear.
