iPhone 12 Pro Do you use battery charging optimization?

Just wondering how many people use this in the battery settings

Heck ya! Don't see why I wouldn't as my schedule is pretty regular.

 

[BigMcGuire]

Yes. Though I charge all the time usually so I never get to see it work. :/

Yep! Ever since it was introduced.

Nope, never used it. Never will. I always charge my phone in the morning and only up to 80% daily.

Thats what i was curious about, seems like a bit of an annoying feature

No I don’t. I did when it first came out but a few times my phone wasn’t fully charged so I ditched it. I buy a new phone every year anyway so saving the battery isn’t an issue for me.

I do, and have with my iPhone X since the feature debuted. I always charge overnight, and based on my usage, never need to interim-charge during the day (I end up between 20-30% by the evening most days), and I have a pretty set schedule waking up around the same time every day (that happens especially when you have young kids!).

To be honest, my phone is always at 100% when I wake up, so I've never even given it a second thought.

Did you even read his post? He MANUALLY charges it to only 80% cause he's afraid of wear and tear on the battery. He has a false sense that charging only to 80% will make his battery last 10 years 🤣

I put my Pro on my Apple Dock over night and have battery optimization turned on. If I put it on the dock around 11PM or so, it will slow charge the phone so that it is fully charged by 5-6AM. Just perfect for what I need.

Always! It was turn on by default so never switch off. Or, maybe in some iOS version it asked, but do not care. Always charge to 100% overnight, always have planty of battery at the evening. Wonder if it is worth to buy 20W charger, but I think not.

 

[now i see it]

A more reliable charging timer (which iOS Charging Optimization is) is to get a smart wall switch and program the ON time to power the socket (and start charging the phone) an hour or so before you get up. It will never fail you.

Never gotten it to work. Its ON and was ON when i had my Xs, always charged to 100%, 85% after 2 years. Now i try to plug out the charger when it reaches ca 80%
