hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech & iOS 13 has a new feature for optimized
battery charging and I wanted to share how it works since so many of you have
asked me about this also I've done quite a few videos on battery and I advocate
for charging to 100% and then some people are saying well they put this
feature in here why would I still do that and I wanted
to explain the purpose behind those different videos verse what Apple is
doing here so the first thing is you cannot overcharge your battery so I
always charge to 100% and you can't overcharge your battery because their
circuitry built into the phone and the battery that will not allow that if you
were to overcharge your battery it could catch fire or even explode and so all
lithium-ion batteries have that protection in them so what it does is
once it hits a hundred percent it basically trickle charges and then
just keeps going maybe down to 99 percent and back up to 100 that's what
it's doing to keep the battery all the way charged and that's again to keep it
from overcharging so what they're doing with this new setting is if we go into
settings in iOS 13 and then battery and then if we go to battery health it gives
your capacity which is currently 100% on this phone tells you if you have peak
performance capability but now you have optimized battery charging and what it
says is to reduce battery aging iPhone learns from your daily charging routine
so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it so using
machine learning that's built into the iPhone what this will do is learn when
you're going to bed when you charge it throughout the day when you use it and
instead charge it up to 80% and then when it's getting closer for the time
for you to use it it will continue to charge to that 100% so instead of
bouncing from 99 to 100% back and forth it will stay right around 80 percent
which is healthier over time now the reason I was not an advocate of doing
this manually before is because you're only saving about 3% of your battery
health over a period of one year and I have a phone here that I used for an
entire year plugging it in every single night and it's at 97% capacity and this
is my iPhone X so when this was out I used it every day plugged in
every night and I have 97% capacity for my battery health and what I found is
you really aren't saving enough to justify having to manage the battery but
this is doing it for you to even make it last a little bit longer and this is
really important when it comes to things like cars for example Tesla has a
similar setup where it elects you limit the battery unless you go on a trip and
then over a long period of time if you're going to keep a phone a very long
time three four or five years this will help you not have to replace your
battery and in turn reduce waste and cost for you and resources and things
like that so this is my 6s plus if we go into the battery settings you'll see
that the capacity is 85% now again this was plugged in every single night up to
100% and left there for its entire life and this was used regularly up until
about six months ago so it's actually had quite a bit of use so instead it
will charge to 80% now kind of hold it there and charge to 100 when it's close
for you to use it and I actually tested this I have not seen it hold at 80% yet
I plugged it in it's at 72% now I brought it up over 80% and it kept
charging so it does have to learn those usage patterns and it may take a while
for that to happen it does not matter which one of these plugs that you use
although ideally the lower the power the better over time
I have used mostly the iPad charger for the entire life of the battery or a
wireless charger so those don't matter too much because iPhones aren't really
pushing the limits of battery charging speed so it will help though if you use
the included one and I'm sure that's why Apple still includes it because over
time it will make maybe a percentage difference to me it's not worth the
speed difference I use the iPad charger but that's the new optimized battery
charging feature in iOS 13 let me know if you have any other questions in the
comments below of course I'll link this wallpaper in
