I charge every night and during the day too. I am in and out of my car a lot during the day so if I am in for more than a few minutes I plug in;).
 
I ran my 6+ down to 1% every single day, and I do the same with my 6S+. My phone gets a full charge every evening.
 
It actually makes 0 sense to not charge it every night.

I have NEVER had battery issues on any iPhone. Maybe that's why some of you have issue down the line?

Also, are some of you psychic? I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. What if I don't charge my phone and then need my phone because something unusual happened in my life? Let me scramble for a charger when I'm in desperate need of power.
 
I've been using an iPhone for seven years, and charging it at night was pretty much standard procedure.

But since I got an iPhone 6 Plus, I no longer need to.

If I run low on battery, I plug it in for 15 minutes and get plenty of charge to last me awhile.

I basically just charge on the go whenever I need to these days.
My iPhone 6 Plus only requires a charge once a week.

You must have a serious drain on your battery.
 
If I don't use FB, I can charge every other day. On days of heavy FB use I have to charge at least once during the day. Sometimes I charge at night on those FB days. On days where I've let it go a day and a half, I charge it in the middle of the day when I'm working at house or yard work and don't keep it on me anyway and have my Apple watch taking my calls and texts over wifi. I have the iPhone 6S plus on Samsung Chip.

Well some people either

A. Like to live life on the edge

B. Don't have anxiety

I just charge in the office during the day these days. Actually is better because it's less of a distraction at work.
 
For me, it doesn't matter if my phone needs a charge or not. And I'm also not trying to see just how far I can get on a full charge.

My phone is a nightstand clock and alarm. I plug it in at night, every night regardless of the charge.

I have never had any issue doing this with any of the four iPhone's I've owned.

Ooh get you, an Apple watch too.:eek:

I once went about 3 days on the same charge with my 6 plus. Most days I can last 1.5 easy, but if I add turn by turn (without plugging in during car ride) and gaming, only about 1 day. Still amazing compared to my note 5 and nexus 6 which I had to charge 2x a day.

I like to charge overnight no matter whats the charge on iPhone.

I'm at 25% right now.

Will probably charge tonight.

If I'm at 30%+ I usually skip even though I prob should at those levels.

40%+ absolutely no chance not plugging in lol.

Where's wireless charging Apple?

I usually do.. but my stats are quite amazing, so not always. I have 36 hours, and 5 minutes on standby, and 11 hours, and 38 minutes of usage :) that's almost a full friggin workday on the phone constantly usiing it with 20% left to spare :) THanks apple :!

Yeah it's great

I managed to get 2 full working days with this
 
I will charge it every night, I also have a spare cable at work and in the car, just in case for what ever reason my iPhone runs dry. Only used them cables once or twice
 
Mine always end up needing to be replaced a few times throughout the period of time I own the phone, so battery longevity is a nonissue.
Do you usually replace the battery a few times in the phone's lifespan ? That's quite unusual, I'd say.
Apple's batteries should last 2-3 years at minimum.

Charge cycles are cumulative. Charge up 10 times from 90% to 100 is same going from 0-100 once.
Mostly correct, but a charge from 0 to 100% is more stressing the battery than multiple charges from higher percentage values.
So, same cycle counting but more wear to the battery.

I ran my 6+ down to 1% every single day, and I do the same with my 6S+. My phone gets a full charge every evening.
Not very wise.
If you can, I strongly suggest to charge the phone more often, when is around 40% (or even more if you can). Less stress for the battery.
If you are always on the go, you could buy a battery case or an external battery.
 
No, don't need to:

I charge when I can, that way I don't run through the charge cycles

Nothing you can do will avoid charge cycles. A bunch of small charges still equal a full cycle. It is all about how much you use it.

Just plug it in before you go to bed and unplug when you get up. I do not care to carry a plug around with me to charge multiple times during the day. Leaving your phone laying around while charging only invites someone to walk with your phone.
 
Yes every night - what else would i do with it when it is just sitting there Have I forgotten, sure but basically that is where the phone sits every night on the charger.

Why not
