Retired electronics tech here. Alan is 100% correct. The device plugged into the wall isn't actually a charger. It's a power supply. It's intended to supply a specified voltage with as much current (called "amperage" by the uneducated) as the mobile device calls for, up to the supply's design limit. An iPhone's charge rate is determined by the phone, not what it's connected to.

they’re giving out wring information. FIrst, you can use any usb-c to charge your phone. that’s including 100w chargers. just because the charger is rated more than what the iphone needs, it doesnt mean that the iphone will use all 100w and damage your battery - Secondly. draining your battery consistently is not good for lithium batteries. once you reach around 20%, charge your phone.
@@47crazed ikr I was starting to like these guys until they made that comment about overcharging, like do they really think apple wouldn't think of that. This is common knowledge.
Great video. Do you recommend using fast chargers at all or will they cause the battery to degrade faster? I’ve heard that they can cause premature battery wear.
The difference is negligible, it’s not really the speed at which it charges, it’s if it gets hot. This is why people will sometimes suggest not using your phone while you charge it. Generally it will be fine, but if you are noticing your phone is getting hot to the touch (not just warm) then stop using it while it charges, or maybe use a slower charger when you do.
It doesn’t matter if the charger can deliver 3 Amps or more, the iPhone will only draw a safe amount regardless of how many amps the charger can deliver. Also, it is indeed bad for the battery to be at high and low state of charge
@@joetex6810 because common knowledge with modern electronics is that power is drawn, not pushed. If you use a computer for example, a graphics card will not pull 1000W just because you use a 1000W power supply.
Question on iPhone charging; iphone is charging in the car, plugged in, your running maps, voice turn-by-turn and Pandora. The iphone reaches 100% charge. Does leaving the iphone plugged in for 4 hours bad for the battery while on the road trip?
Using your iPhone while charging makes your iPhone hot Because you are draining the battery and changing it at the same time Hot temperature can damage the battery
Agreed. I expect it’s technically more accurate to say that the iPhone (the load) draws current from a source (charger). The charger can’t force the iPhone to draw more current than the iPhone allows, unless it was a defective or wrong voltage charger presenting an abnormally high voltage to the phone.
then why do a lot of electronic devices tell you not to use high amperage chargers? I've fucked batteries on many products because i was using a 2w charger...
@@ethanwasme4307 they were probably quick chargers that use a higher voltage to get the quick charge. A voltage higher than your batteries could take. Just a guess, don’t know for sure.

When I worked at the Apple store, we had employees that would scare customers into thinking all these myths were true. I always said that you should just charge it and not worry with it, especially on a device that you will probably replace after two or three years any ways. It was more important to tell people not to let their little kids play with the phone or to not run around with it in their back pockets. (That’s how many people ended up with cracked screens or a swim in the toilet. )
Jeff, you're another ex-Apple Store employee?! That's awesome. It's absolutely worth noting that not all Apple Store employees have the same level of knowledge or care about customers. I suppose that's true in every profession, but what you're saying sounds right about in line with my experience, too!
My iPhone 4 has its original battery and I use it every day as a radio (TalkRadio). My iPhone 6S (with PAYG sim) is on its 4th battery which is showing 62% health.
Usually trying to aim for at least four years, they’re not exactly cheap. Have needed the battery replaced once, it was draining completely in four hours but the replacement was fine for three years, and have been saved by my tempered glass screen protector once so never a broken screen. You never plan to drop your phone, but it was definitely worth it, being able to fix it yourself in ten minutes at home saves more than just money, it saves a lot of priceless time that you can’t buy and never have enough of.
Most aren’t myths you shouldn’t let your phone train to 0%. I’ve tested this out. I had another iPhone I let it drain and the battery heslth degraded fast over time. Now I’ve got a 12 pro had it for a year it’s on the same battery heslth because I kept it between 40-80%
I would just like to say as a first time user of an apple product (i have the iphone 13 pro), this really does help a lot! I've been so paranoid with all this battery myths regarding battery health, the "not charging it to 100%", so thank you so much!! Please make more videos! 🥰
I didn't know that's what MFI stood for also. Oh my God 12+ years w/Apple and I'm just learning what MFI stands for. Boy I'm friggin slow. But of course I'm 72 so I'm not even supposed to know how do use an iPhone. Ha ha. Keep up the great work guys. I wish you would do a video on the best phones for seniors in 2022-23ish. i'm not sure if I need to go for the biggest bang in the phone (cameras) or if I can modulate it somewhere in the 12. Or do I need to hit one of the 13s? Are used to have a 6+. I made a mistake of buying SE. And now I got to throw it in the trash where it truly belongs and bump up to a better level..thx
Batteries aren’t flash memory, you can’t use “the first 25%” and then charge it, and have then use capacity out of “the other 75%”. It’s one cell with two electrodes. What happens chemically is not controllable by the device. Unlike NiCd or NiMH, Li batteries don’t have issues with parts of the Ni electrode’s crystal structure changing. The electrodes don’t actually chemically react, they just hold Li ions. Shallow discharge cycles are not a problem and there’s no “unused part of the battery” problem.
1:39 if you transfer your old iPhone to your new one straight out of the box it does say to keep both iPhones plugged in for the duration of the transfer
We go from Apple’s information on pages like this one: www.apple.com/batteries/why-lithium-ion/ , and also from my first-hand experience with many, many iPhones at the Apple Store.

Maybe you could share what specifically you think we’re incorrect about?
@@PayetteForward Enjoying the videos on this channel, but there are some inaccuracies in this video. Myth #2 is incorrect. I believe you meant to say "Myth #2: Discharge your battery to 0%" it's fully ok to charge your phone whenever you want. you don't need to discharge to 0% and fully cycle your battery to prevent damage. in fact, fully discharging your battery will harm it. Your explanation and example about the old batteries and the need to exercise them seems to support that you misspoke (and miswrote) when presenting myth #2. The old batteries needed to be fully discharged, as you said, and lithium ion batteries don't. It's not a myth that you should avoid deep discharges and keeping your phone away from either extremes. it's one reason why your devices shut off before they fully discharge, and why Apple has the smart feature that stops charging at 80%.
2:35 So you don't recommend to use those 65W wall chargers by RavPower or Anker on iPhones? Cause they advertise these chargers as one charger for all your devices.
They're fine, they were totally wrong on that. Wall "chargers" are just DC power supplies, they supply power up to the max rating. The charger on the device such as your iPhone asks the power supply how much power it's allowed to draw so as to not blow a fuse or damage the power supply. It then proceeds to draw however much current it wants. The reason they noticed their phones charging faster is because the old power supplies provided were only capable of outputting 5 watts whereas the newest iPhones can draw up to 27 watts (official spec is 20W but the iPhone 13 Pro Max will draw up to 27 when tested.) Once the phone hits 80% it quickly reduces the power it draws so as to not generate too much heat and potentially damage the battery. They were also totally wrong on how lithium batteries work, the iPhone if we're being pedantic does not have a battery. It has a single lithium cell, lithium batteries in a perfect world always want to be at 50% charge (equilibrium). However from practical perspective you just want to avoid over discharging or staying at 100% all the time. A common range people pick is 20% to 80% and faster charging can help facilitate this and make it easier. There is no way to only use certain parts of a battery or cell.
Thank you so much for all your information on everything iPhone. I assume iPad is included with information. Your videos are the only ones I watch for information on anything Apple 🍏
Just new on the apply ecosystem and would like to know if it is okay to charge my iPhone through a tunderbolt port on my macbook air. Awesome Video as always! This is my go to channel on all apple stuff I need.
As usual I’ve learned something from you guys. My husband loves lottery scratch tickets. But the stuff you scratch off gets into everything, including the charging port of his iPhone. Then it sticks to the connector on the cord. He’s always having trouble charging his phone. We have iPhone X’s. We should probably up grade. I have a question. A friend always upgrades by getting a refurbished phone from Apple rather than her provider. Do you think this is a good idea?
I tried their optimize charging on my SE 2020 when I first got it and it LOST 6% of its battery health in just 3 months. I went back to keeping it on the charger as much as possible and keeping it as 100% charge as much as possible and it hasn't lost any more health. I kept my SE 2016 on the charger all the time and I used that phone for 4 years and it was still at 99% health when I sold it.
Yeah my experience anecdotally is that my phone seemed to do better when I keep them close to 100% as often as possible. But even if we ignore anecdotal evidence because of small simple sizes, an exhaustive look at the research shows no real consensus on the subject at all. So I just don't see the point in people artificially limiting their battery capacity to 80 or 85%
Incorrect - feel free to discharge to 0% and charge to 100% whenever you feel like... Although the Lithium Ion battery will take it, it's not recommended to keep the Lithium Ion battery near the extremes (0 or 100 percent) for prolonged times, ideally never. Lithium Ion chemistry in those batteries "feels" great at around the 50-60% charge. Just check out the numerous articles about the Lithium Ion batteries as there are plenty around... Also incorrect - Don't use wall chargers with higher specs. That's completely false. The iPhone (and every other phone) has a battery management logic built in which takes care of the charging current, voltage and temperature of the battery. If you connect a USB wall charger with higher specs to your iPhone, the consumed current will be always regulated by the battery management (or power management) logic inside the phone and it's impossible to "push" more current into the phone than it's "willing" to take. Just make sure you are using a good quality wall charger, that's all...
I just commented similarly. I wonder if they misspoke (miswrote) and got confused. on the one hand they say "it's perfectly ok to discharge to 0" it won't damage your battery. and they wrote that the myth is "Don't discharge to 0%". but then as they explain, they cite the issues with the old Nickel batteries where you had to exercise and discharge then fully charge your battery to prevent it from acquiring a memory. They begin by saying don't worry about damaging your battery if you discharge it to 0. and they follow it up and end it by saying, you don't need to fully discharge your batter, just charge it whenever you want. I wonder if they made a typo in the script and they are just reading the typo while doing this video. What they actually meant to say is "Myth #2: Discharge your battery to 0%" It's fully ok to not discharge your battery to 0%
@@Mehwhatevr I don't know, I still believe that letting it drain to Zero will degrade the battery quicker, my 13mini lost 3% in its first 4 months , and 6% within 7 months because it's hard to keep a small battery charged between 30% and 90% (the 13 mini had to be charged every 5 hours). But my 14Plus is very easy to keep between 30% and 90%, it's been 4 months and my battery is still 100%.
@@sounds0fmeows maybe my comment a year ago was unclear. Basically, yeah don’t discharge to zero if you can help it. your mileage may vary but the research is clear on lithium ion batteries that deep discharges and full recharges degrade the battery the most. Deep discharges carry the additional risk that you can discharge too deeply and kill your battery… only do a deep discharge and recharge (deliberately) when recalibrating. Even then you don’t need to drop below 5% :)
I purchased an amazon dock with their own suppliet charging cable, but I do use my old 2016 SE 5w charging brick. 13 mini charges pretty fast with this setup using a Spigen Magsafe case. Since the 5w brick cant draw out the 15w magsafe, I'm satisfied with that for keeping my battery in good shape. Plus I only recharge my phone every 3-4 days as my usage is just that non-exsistent.
the statement made at around 2:42 about using a 3 amp charger on an iPhone to rapid charge a li-ion battery that will cause it damage is NOT true. The phone, battery and charger "negotiate" an appropriate charge current and the phone and battery controls the charge rate. The 3 amp charging brick merely implies that it can deliver UP TO 3 amps but will only put out what the device is pulling. This is ALWAYS true for a well made power brick made by either Apple, Belkin or Anker. I can't speak for lesser quality junk "china" bricks that have no smart circuitry built into them but then again people should NEVER be using them b/c of their poor electrical isolation inside of them. I use my 100 watt MacBook pro USB C brick all day long with the apple USB C to lighting cable and the charge time for my iPhone 12 Pro is IDENTICAL to me using the 20 watt USB C apple brick. What does that mean? It means the size of the brick capacity beyond 2.1 amps is irrelevant b/c it will only deliver what the device demands and not "push" 3 amps into the device.
I watched the subs on this channel grow from 300k to 800k in mere months. 1M will noy be a problem as these guys go straight to the point with little to no nonsense in between. I do love the occasional goofiness.
I charged my iPhone 14 overnight last night for the first time since getting my iPhone 14 a few years ago and surprisingly it charged and also my phone hasn’t been charging lately or it takes a while to charge . I’m gonna try to get a wireless charger
I lost my air buds found them 3 months later in the dirt on the side of my driveway. It was the rainy season, they weren’t in the case. I wiped the dirt off, charged them up, and they worked! I’m sold.
And it won’t damage the battery health right because honestly I’m kinda worried about that happening tbh and it heating up too much which is a big concern for me and also I’ll be traveling internationally as well
I have a counter argument for low power mode. As it takes longer to deplete the battery, it also means that over time your iPhone would have less cycles and the battery would last longer
Since always keeping MacBook plugged in can save the battery life span, does the same mechanics apply on iPhone, too? Will iPhone utilize only from the power supply when it's charged up to 100%?

David : Wow this is a very technical explanation.
David: Yeah!
Thanks for all the great info
Im a bit confusing. How often I should turn on low power mode?
Thank you for sharing. Have a great New Year and stay safe.
Love your videos. Thank you both for your knowledge. Your awesome. 👍
Great information!👏👏👏
Thank you so much for all your information on everything iPhone. I assume iPad is included with information. Your videos are the only ones I watch for information on anything Apple 🍏
Any recommendations for car chargers? Brands, wattage ratings?
Just new on the apply ecosystem and would like to know if it is okay to charge my iPhone through a tunderbolt port on my macbook air. Awesome Video as always! This is my go to channel on all apple stuff I need.
Love your vids! I have an iphone 8 plus, should i upgrade?
So helpful!
As usual I’ve learned something from you guys. My husband loves lottery scratch tickets. But the stuff you scratch off gets into everything, including the charging port of his iPhone. Then it sticks to the connector on the cord. He’s always having trouble charging his phone. We have iPhone X’s. We should probably up grade.
I have a question. A friend always upgrades by getting a refurbished phone from Apple rather than her provider. Do you think this is a good idea?
All good information. Thanks for putting it all together.
I tried their optimize charging on my SE 2020 when I first got it and it LOST 6% of its battery health in just 3 months. I went back to keeping it on the charger as much as possible and keeping it as 100% charge as much as possible and it hasn't lost any more health. I kept my SE 2016 on the charger all the time and I used that phone for 4 years and it was still at 99% health when I sold it.
Wym optimize charging??
The iPhone se battery seems to degrade fast no matter what
Yeah my experience anecdotally is that my phone seemed to do better when I keep them close to 100% as often as possible. But even if we ignore anecdotal evidence because of small simple sizes, an exhaustive look at the research shows no real consensus on the subject at all. So I just don't see the point in people artificially limiting their battery capacity to 80 or 85%
thanks for this guys
Incorrect - feel free to discharge to 0% and charge to 100% whenever you feel like...
Although the Lithium Ion battery will take it, it's not recommended to keep the Lithium Ion battery near the extremes (0 or 100 percent) for prolonged times, ideally never. Lithium Ion chemistry in those batteries "feels" great at around the 50-60% charge. Just check out the numerous articles about the Lithium Ion batteries as there are plenty around...
Also incorrect - Don't use wall chargers with higher specs.
That's completely false. The iPhone (and every other phone) has a battery management logic built in which takes care of the charging current, voltage and temperature of the battery. If you connect a USB wall charger with higher specs to your iPhone, the consumed current will be always regulated by the battery management (or power management) logic inside the phone and it's impossible to "push" more current into the phone than it's "willing" to take. Just make sure you are using a good quality wall charger, that's all...
I just commented similarly. I wonder if they misspoke (miswrote) and got confused. on the one hand they say "it's perfectly ok to discharge to 0" it won't damage your battery. and they wrote that the myth is "Don't discharge to 0%". but then as they explain, they cite the issues with the old Nickel batteries where you had to exercise and discharge then fully charge your battery to prevent it from acquiring a memory.
They begin by saying don't worry about damaging your battery if you discharge it to 0. and they follow it up and end it by saying, you don't need to fully discharge your batter, just charge it whenever you want.
I wonder if they made a typo in the script and they are just reading the typo while doing this video. What they actually meant to say is "Myth #2: Discharge your battery to 0%" It's fully ok to not discharge your battery to 0%
@@Mehwhatevr I don't know, I still believe that letting it drain to Zero will degrade the battery quicker, my 13mini lost 3% in its first 4 months , and 6% within 7 months because it's hard to keep a small battery charged between 30% and 90% (the 13 mini had to be charged every 5 hours). But my 14Plus is very easy to keep between 30% and 90%, it's been 4 months and my battery is still 100%.
@@sounds0fmeows maybe my comment a year ago was unclear. Basically, yeah don’t discharge to zero if you can help it. your mileage may vary but the research is clear on lithium ion batteries that deep discharges and full recharges degrade the battery the most. Deep discharges carry the additional risk that you can discharge too deeply and kill your battery… only do a deep discharge and recharge (deliberately) when recalibrating. Even then you don’t need to drop below 5% :)
Thanks for all your helpful tips and info.
Thank you 😊
Indeed no strees. Thanks guys
I purchased an amazon dock with their own suppliet charging cable, but I do use my old 2016 SE 5w charging brick. 13 mini charges pretty fast with this setup using a Spigen Magsafe case. Since the 5w brick cant draw out the 15w magsafe, I'm satisfied with that for keeping my battery in good shape. Plus I only recharge my phone every 3-4 days as my usage is just that non-exsistent.
how's the battery on the mini holding ?
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪. I love your content and ya’ll should have the most subscribers on youtube because you deserve it!
the statement made at around 2:42 about using a 3 amp charger on an iPhone to rapid charge a li-ion battery that will cause it damage is NOT true. The phone, battery and charger "negotiate" an appropriate charge current and the phone and battery controls the charge rate. The 3 amp charging brick merely implies that it can deliver UP TO 3 amps but will only put out what the device is pulling. This is ALWAYS true for a well made power brick made by either Apple, Belkin or Anker. I can't speak for lesser quality junk "china" bricks that have no smart circuitry built into them but then again people should NEVER be using them b/c of their poor electrical isolation inside of them. I use my 100 watt MacBook pro USB C brick all day long with the apple USB C to lighting cable and the charge time for my iPhone 12 Pro is IDENTICAL to me using the 20 watt USB C apple brick. What does that mean? It means the size of the brick capacity beyond 2.1 amps is irrelevant b/c it will only deliver what the device demands and not "push" 3 amps into the device.
Thank you for great information!!!!
Great info. Thank you.
Thank you again again again 👏👏
Great information and useful tips..
Thanks for The Tips😋🙏🍀
Excellent as always, 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Very helpful. Thanks.
What about fast charging, does it damage the battery?
The faster you charge a battery , the life of the battery is reduced.
Great content. This advice will it work for Android devices. Happy new year 🎉
Yet again another very helpful video! Thanks!
Thanks, Melinda!
7 was the search that lead me here 😂😂
I watched the subs on this channel grow from 300k to 800k in mere months. 1M will noy be a problem as these guys go straight to the point with little to no nonsense in between. I do love the occasional goofiness.
As usually a great and useful video. Keep up the good work men.🇺🇸🐻
Do you ever do vlogs about the iWatch?
Does this also apply to android phones? just upgraded from my aged iphone 5 to a moto edge 20 pro and want to keep it healthy as possible.
Great tips
Thanks very helpful
I charged my iPhone 14 overnight last night for the first time since getting my iPhone 14 a few years ago and surprisingly it charged and also my phone hasn’t been charging lately or it takes a while to charge . I’m gonna try to get a wireless charger
Can you please specify exactly which apple charger is a good choice? I don't want to buy the wrong one. Thanks!
Hello Jane
For which phone? Any Apple-brand charger with a port that fits the cable your phone came with will be perfect.
Thank you guys,,,👍
Nice tips as always guys 🇮🇪💯😎
I lost my air buds found them 3 months later in the dirt on the side of my driveway. It was the rainy season, they weren’t in the case. I wiped the dirt off, charged them up, and they worked! I’m sold.
I have a question can you use a 5 watt charger for an iPhone 13 pro max?
You can! I don't think it will charge the phone very quickly though!
-Zech
And it won’t damage the battery health right because honestly I’m kinda worried about that happening tbh and it heating up too much which is a big concern for me and also I’ll be traveling internationally as well
Question i have a phone xr an have a 20 wah fast charger from Amazon that says mfi on it is it safe my phone heats up lol
I have a counter argument for low power mode. As it takes longer to deplete the battery, it also means that over time your iPhone would have less cycles and the battery would last longer
If you don't mind the reduced functionality, there's no reason not to use it, sure.
I did the rice trick a lot in the past & it actually helped lol🤷🏽♂️
Finally, thanks.
Since always keeping MacBook plugged in can save the battery life span, does the same mechanics apply on iPhone, too? Will iPhone utilize only from the power supply when it's charged up to 100%?
Top class as usual, please can you also show how to setup cool themes/widget etc please.
Is it good to use 20w fast charger for iphone 13 to maintain good health of battery? If not please suggest the alternative. Thanks in advance
Is the Anker Nano 30W charger good for iPhone 13 pro max?
Good question. I bought the same charger because lots of CZcamsrs recommended for the new iPhone 13. I have the iPhone 13 pro max.
Good for me. It’s not super fast android charge but it’s fast enough. Bit warm not super hot compared to wireless
