I'm out of the loop. What did they do now?

Apple will have a USB-C connector (capable of fast charging tech), but will only support slow 5V charging (for most non-apple chargers?)...

Honestly, I find this preferable. I only charge at night and a battery that charges slowly lasts longer.

Most of Apple users I've met master the art of turning Apple's crap decisions into features and advantages over the competition.

I lost all faith in those folks being reasonable.

My pixel does this

I really wish we had the capability to stop charging early. I'd love to leave my phone plugged in for crazy long periods, but only keep the battery at like 70%. This way it wouldn't degrade performance from the batteries being left at full charge.

Are you sure you don't already have something like this? My android is a couple years old, but has always let me charge to only 85%

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

It's not a feature commonly found in AOSP ROMs, in my experience.

[-] Toast@lemmy.film 2 points 2 years ago

That's unfortunate, I guess. I mean, even though I do have my phone set to only charge up to 85%, I don't really know if this is battery protective or not.

Is it?

I just enabled the option because the description of the feature claimed it to be. I haven't researched this at all

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yes it should be, somewhat anyway. Primarily batteries wear out through use, both charging and discharging - if your phone is plugged in but not charging, then your phone is running off mains and the battery isn't being used. However, batteries also wear out over time, albeit much more slowly. Manufacturer's typically recommend keeping batteries in long term storage at around 70% to minimise this effect. If you're always plugged into mains at 100% charge, then you're not following this storage recommendation. Leaving it at 100% won't kill the battery, but its capacity will go down quicker than if left at a lower charge.
