Merdeka.com – Do you have a habit of charging your iPhone overnight? You are not alone, but maybe other people have the same behavior. However, from a technical point of view, this practice turned out to be wrong.
Reported GizCina, Tuesday (10/25), this habit could damage your iPhone device. A gadget watcher on TikTok with the name @shoandtech explained more about how much damage it does if you charge the device overnight.
He once did an experiment by buying the iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2021. When he bought the iPhone, he never charged it overnight. As a result, the phone is now a year old, but what is surprising is that the battery is still 100%.
Previously, he had also tried using the iPhone 12 pro two years ago. The same is done. Its iPhone 12 Pro has a long-lasting 100 percent battery capacity. According to GizCinathis is a very rare achievement for a two year old phone.
From a technical point of view, every time the iPhone charges to 100 percent, the system on the smartphone automatically switches to “Maintenance charge mode”. This mode keeps the phone’s battery at 100 percent until it is disconnected. Simply put, making sure the battery is no longer charged.
The problem is that although the electricity can be held back, but if the current flows longer, there will be pressure on the cell phone battery. As a result, the battery will slowly suffer performance degradation.
Apple has done its best to combat the drop in battery performance with recognition features such as optimized battery charging. This feature was introduced in 2018 via iOS 11.3.
What this does is slow down the charging process when charging at night. When the battery has reached 80 percent, the system will start charging slowly so that to reach 100 percent the user should have time to unplug the phone. Even though the features offered by the iPhone are advanced, they still require user intervention so that the health of the battery lasts longer.
