Apple has decided to issue an official warning to all iPhone owners and remind them how to properly charge their smartphones. This is the so-called “95% rule”, which allows you to extend the life of the battery and avoid its accelerated wear.
Main theses:
- Apple encourages you to use the Optimized Battery Charging feature.
- It will help maintain the “health” of your smartphone's battery.
The “95% Rule” Will Help Save Your iPhone
As Apple explained, charging a smartphone to 100% accelerates the wear of a lithium-ion battery.
What is important to understand is that this leads to chemical and mechanical stress inside the battery.
The first negative consequences can be seen after 1–2 years of active use of the device, writes SuperCardBlondie.
That is why the company urges iPhone owners not to charge their smartphones to a full 100 percent, but to stop charging at around 95%.
This seemingly banal life hack will allow you to minimize battery wear and increase its durability without a noticeable deterioration in battery life.
We should also not forget the importance of using officially certified chargers, as cheap “Chinese” analogues and cables may not meet safety standards.
Journalists point out that Apple has created a special Optimized Battery Charging feature in iOS – it automatically slows down charging when the iPhone reaches high levels to preserve the “health” of the battery.
