How to Properly charge your iPhone

**Understanding Wireless Charging and its Impact on iPhones**

When it comes to wireless charging, many users have questions about the experience with their iPhone. One common concern is whether the device gets slightly warmer when using wireless charging compared to when it's plugged into a wire. The answer to this question is yes, it is more common for the iPhone to get slightly warmer when used with wireless charging than when it's connected via wire.

However, it's essential to note that if the iPhone becomes extremely hot during wireless charging, that's not normal. A temperature increase of just a few degrees is entirely normal and should not be cause for concern. Apple designs its products to operate within safe temperature ranges, so there's no need to worry about overheating issues.

Another aspect of wireless charging worth mentioning is the compatibility of iPhone cases. If you don't have a case specifically designed for wireless charging, it's recommended to remove it before using your iPhone with a wireless charger or Magsafe dock. This is because some cases can create excessive heat, which can negatively impact the battery's performance and lifespan.

Additionally, users should be aware that wireless charging is slightly slower than traditional wire-based charging. Apple recommends using its own cables and chargers to ensure optimal performance and safety. If you don't have an MFi-approved cable handy, it's a good idea to carry one with you when traveling or using your iPhone on the go.

**Optimizing Battery Charging for Better Performance**

To get the most out of your iPhone's battery, Apple offers a feature called Optimized Battery Charging. This feature is available under the "Battery Health" section and can significantly improve your iPhone's overall performance. Here's how it works: when you charge your iPhone, it will stop at 80% capacity until you're ready to use it again. Then, just before you pick up your phone, it will charge the remaining 20% to complete the full cycle.

This feature is especially beneficial for users who tend to leave their iPhones plugged in overnight or for extended periods during the day. By stopping charging at 80%, Apple helps reduce stress on the battery and prolongs its lifespan. In contrast, if you continue to charge your iPhone beyond 80% capacity, it can lead to accelerated wear and tear on the battery.

In summary, understanding wireless charging and taking steps to optimize battery charging are crucial for maintaining your iPhone's performance and longevity. By following these tips, you'll be able to enjoy faster charging speeds, reduced heat buildup, and a healthier battery that lasts longer.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys i device help here welcome back to the channel today i want to share a few tips on how to properly charge your iphone on the latest os now in this video i also want to talk about a few common misperceptions that could impact the battery or your iphone good or bad so let's just dive right in now the first thing i want to talk about is misperceptions or missed for example the app switcher here you see all these applications are open in the background there's a common misperception that if i leave these apps open in the background the battery of the iphone would actually drain faster and that is entirely false it's actually the opposite so for example here's safari with apple.com loaded if i open the app you see it goes right into safari right into the website without having to reload the entire website right here if i go to the app switcher here and close safari out or quit safari when i go back it actually reloads the entire page what that means it is used in resources therefore it drains the battery a lot quicker so if you go through your app switcher and just close all applications out every time you use them you're actually doing the wrong thing because this is actually going to force your iphone to re-initiate the entire process of the application having to reload all the content and therefore using resources and actually draining the battery slightly quicker so yeah you can leave your apps open in the background i know a lot of users prefer to close them out but it isn't really doing any good when you close them out another thing i want to talk about is charging when you leave your iphone charging overnight is that an issue yes or no should i unplug my iphone once it's done charging to 100 the answer to that is you can leave your iphone charging all night without any problem ios is designed to recognize when your iphone has reached a hundred percent and then it stops charging now throughout the night during standby time if it drops one percent your iphone will reinitiate the charging and then once it reaches 100 it stops once again it doesn't just continue sending charge ios is not designed that way if that was the case every single iphone will be fried so yeah the power source just stops once it reaches 100 so you can leave your iphone plugged overnight without any issues and we'll talk about optimized battery charging a little further down the road in this video as well now another common misperception or another common use i've seen from some users is once the iphone reaches 100 pick it up and enable low power mode is that any good should you use low power mode at all times on your iphone now the answer to that it isn't good but it isn't bad now the reason i say that is because you can get slightly better battery performance out of your iphone overall but you lose out on performance low power mode is designed to throttle your iphone downs performance it slows it down a little bit network performance could decrease in order to push through that last 20 or 10 percent of the battery of your iphone so it slows down your iphone pretty much entirely with the performance the network and everything else in between so you're not really damaging the battery you're actually getting slightly better battery but you're also losing out on entire performance of your device so if you use your iphone to only just quickly glance at social media and things like that you're not doing a big impact but if you're watching videos using the network a lot you're just going to lose out on performance so next i want to talk about a wireless charging and there's a few questions that i always get with wireless charging number one is it common for the iphone to get slightly warmer with wireless charging than what it does when you're plugged into wire and the answer to that is yes it is most common for the iphone to get slightly warmer when you're using wireless charging than if you were using the wire so that's okay now if it gets extremely hot then that's not normal but warmer to the touch than if you were to plug it in that is entirely normal another thing you may want to do is if you go to wirelessly charge your iphone if you don't have a case that's designed for wireless charging you may want to remove it for example this one that i have here isn't necessarily built for wireless charging so i like to take it off my iphone every time i go to use wireless charging or magsafe at all because it isn't designed for wireless charging wireless charging as we talked about gets slightly warmer to the touch your iphone gets slightly warmer and therefore you don't want to use a case that would actually make it even warmer because that could impact the battery in a negative way by creating heat and heat is a big enemy of wireless charging or batteries in general so you may want to get away from any case that isn't built for wireless charging if you have apple's magsafe case those are designed for wireless charging but something plastic like this one that i have here which isn't designed for wireless charging you may want to remove it because it will create extra heat which is an enemy of the battery of your iphone so yeah wireless charging is slightly slower it heats up your iphone slightly more than if you were using the wire and if you have any case with wireless charging that isn't compatible for wireless charging you may want to remove it before you drop it onto the magsafe or any wireless charger for that mat and last but not least we're going to talk about a wire charging now when you go to wire charge your iphone is always recommended to use the apple cable and the apple brick of course these are specifically tailored and designed to charge your iphone to the best of its capabilities and the fast charging from apple's fast charger will actually fast charge your iphone the best than any other charger because it is coming from apple it is designed to work with your iphone the best way now that doesn't mean that you can't use a third-party charger you can definitely use a third-party charger but if you don't have one handy always at least try to carry your cable with you so if you use a third-party brick to charge your iphone at least have the apple cable that comes with your iphone when you go to plug it in in case that charger doesn't support proper voltage for your iphone you'll get this message right here accessory not supported so if you have the cable the cable is smart enough it is mfi approved of course which is apple's cable and it will recognize that the brick that you're using isn't proper to charge your iphone or if it could damage the actual battery of your iphone or anything at all so always if you don't have the brake at least try to have the cable with you if you're traveling to charge your iphone and obviously wirelessly it's a lot slower than wire charging so use the wire charger if you want faster speeds now another thing that i want to talk about is optimize battery charging here under the battery option so if we go to battery health here we have the optimized battery charging option now this feature i highly recommend using at all times now what this feature will do it will charge your iphone to 80 until you're ready to pick it up and then it will charge that extra 20 right before you pick it up to use it every day so for example if you go to bed on your routine let's say you go from 10 p.m to 6 a.m the iphone will stop charging at around 4 a.m and leave it around 80 percent and then right before you wake up it can measure the time that it takes to charge that extra 20 before you pick it up in the morning and then it will completely charge the entire phone therefore creating less stress on the battery so optimized battery charging definitely an amazing feature that apple has created but anyway that is everything that i wanted to share with you guys make sure you always use apple bricks if you don't have your apple brick handy make sure you bring your cable with you wireless charging does get a little warmer than wire charging that is definitely true don't go quitting all your applications in the background it doesn't really impact the battery much in a positive way and there you guys have it that above brings an end to this video let me know any of your personal recommendations in the comments down below i would like to hear from you thank you for watching and i'll see you on the next one peacehey guys i device help here welcome back to the
