apple Reveals Batteryโค Best โPractices โtoโฃ Maximize iPhone Lifespan
Hong Kong – New guidance fromโข Appleโข addresses commonโข smartphone charging habits that can significantly shorten โaโ device’s lifespan. Contrary to popular belief,consistently charging aโค phone to 100% and leaving it plugged in – notably overnight – isn’t โideal. Apple’s support documentation details optimal charging behaviors designed to preserve long-term battery health, offering a “golden โคratio” for maximizing longevity.
The recommendations come as consumers increasingly rely โon their smartphones, making battery health a critical concern. Apple advises enabling “Optimized โBattery Charging” โฃ- a feature that allows the system to intelligently manage charging cycles. Other detrimental habits include allowing a battery to drain wholly to 0% before recharging, playing demanding โgames while โcharging, relying solely onโข fast charging, and charging in excessively warm environments.
Here’s a breakdown of harmful habits โขand Apple’s recommended alternatives:
| Wrong Habits | Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Chargeโ to 100% without unplugging (especially overnight) | Enable “Optimized battery charging” โฃ let the system โฃmanage it for you |
| Charge only when the battery is used โขupโค to 0% | Avoid total exhaustion, Charging can start at around โ20% to 30% |
| Play โgames โwhile charging | Stop or Reduce use while charging, especially high-energy-consuming apps, to avoid overheating |
| Only use fastโฃ charging for a long time | Alternate between fast charging and standard charging, especially when you don’t โฃneedโ it urgently |
| Charging in anโ overheated environment | Make sure the phone is in a cool,โ dry environmentโค while charging. Avoid โคcovering the fuselage with clothing or quilts |
Apple’s guidance, available on their โคsupport website (https://support.apple.com/zh-hk/108055), emphasizes proactive batteryโ managementโฃ for โsustained performance.
