Cell phone battery life is one of the biggest frustrations of users. The problem is that its useful life decreases with consumption. In the case of iPhones, charging tends to respond well in the initial life cycle of the device, but performance plummets after the first year.

The question is how to charge the iPhone without losing the initial battery capacity? the creator of Shoandtech seems to have found the answer.

In one of his videos Tic knockexplains that his iPhone 12 Pro still retains the 100% of the original capacity battery life after two years of use. The key is how the phone is charged.

Normally everyone charge your mobile at night, basically because it is the only time of day when it is not necessary to have it on hand.

In this sense the routines are different: use a Lightning cable, use a MagSafe holder, place the iPhone on a wireless charging pad or connect the typical charger to the bedside table.

None of these practices are the most suitable, according to the influencer. Not for the devices used, but for the time of day. Shomes says it’s a mistake to charge his cell phone at night and gives his arguments.

In the video, the content creator shows an iPhone 13 Pro he owns since September 2021 with a maximum battery capacity of 100%. Next, he shows the camera an iPhone 12 Pro which is still 100%.

How to properly charge the iPhone

The trick to extending battery capacity is that charge your smartphone only when needed. If you go to sleep and you still have 30% battery, you need to leave it as it is, until the red alert appears the next day.

That way, Shomes says, the battery won’t be stressed and will last much longer in the long run.

However, not all iPhone owners can charge their phone in the morning, because they simply don’t have three hours to wait for it to complete.

If there is no other choice and you have to charge the phone at night, the specialists remind you that Apple applies smart charging management to its current devices.

This means that the devices learn time habits and only charge to 80% initially and recharge to 100% when we usually take it off the charge.

There are other tricks to keep the iPhone battery from deteriorating over the years. For example, customize which apps use background refresh.

For that, just follow a few simple steps: Settings> General> Background App Refresh. There we can select the applications that interest us.

You can also run the app update in the background when connected to a Wi-Fi network. In this sense, another option is to activate the low-power mode, which paralyzes the updating of the application in general in the background.

iPhone: What is Battery Saver Mode

New in iOS 9, Battery Saver mode is an easy way to extend battery life when it starts to run out. iPhone notifies you when the level drops to 20%, then 10%, and lets you activate Battery Saver mode with a tap.

This mode reduces screen brightness, optimizes device performance, and minimizes system animations. Apps, such as Mail, will not download content in the background and features such as AirDrop, iCloud sync, and Continuity will be disabled.

You can continue to use basic functions such as making and receiving calls, sending emails and messages, accessing the Internet. Also, Battery Saver mode turns off automatically when iPhone has enough charge again.
