How do you guys charge your iPhone? Do you charge it to 100% or 80% Optimized charging?

Asking this because I am opting out of Apple Care+ and planning on keeping this for 3-4 years.

I have a 15 Pro Max and I charge it to 80%, but I need to charge it at least twice a day because it drains so fast and I charge it when it touches 20%. Anyone else having battery draining issue? Sometimes I just use Instagram for 15 minutes and it’s already down ~10%.

I would suggest the following:

  • You already follow the 20%-80% rule :) Perfecto!
  • Review your Background Apps setting (I recommend disable all and only enable one's that are needed!)
  • Review your battery usage in the settings to find out what is draining your battery as it doesn't seem normal imo. ' I just use Instagram for 15 minutes and it’s already down ~10%.'
  • Use a slow charger when possible to reduce the temperature of the battery when charging!
  • Keep your screen's brightness as low as possible will help but is a bit overkill. just don't use max brightness all the time lol

I know some of these are over the top but they will help over time!

Safe travels to your next destination :)

EDIT: Here's a short video which runs through settings which can help with prolonging an iPhone's battery life :)
