Hi Everyone,

I’ve just purchased the new iPhone 16 Plus, and since I’m completely new to the iOS ecosystem, I had a quick question about charging limit? .

I’ve heard that keeping the battery charging limit set to 90% (using the new Charging limit feature in Settings) supposedly helps preserve the battery’s health in the long run.

Is there any truth to this?

Does charging only up to 90% actually make a noticeable difference to battery longevity, or is it more of a myth?

Would really appreciate insights or experiences from long-time iPhone users!

Thanks in advance.
