I limit my laptop battery charge to 80% with a third party software tool. Laptops can generally bypass the battery and directly power themselves from the wall.
Does this new 80% battery limit setting imply that the new iPhones are able to do the same? Implication would be less battery wear while docked on a desk/in a car or due to long “AAA” gaming sessions, since it will draw power direct from the wall rather than using the battery as a middleman.
Ahh dang, it’s only for Macs. I never knew this was an option, it’s something I’d love to use on my PC, and phone too - currently I use AccuBattery to monitor battery health and alert me when it reaches 90% charge so I can unplug it.
Using this method, I’ve kept my phone battery at around 80%+ original capacity even after 3 years of rather heavy use. I’m very pleased.
