Apple has the same feature on their laptops, but it's "AI" driven so it can decide for you if you want 85% or 100%. Except it's a fucking joke and almost always charges it to 100% and they don't give you a way to say fuck the AI let me decide.
The worse it is, the more money they make on battery replacements.
For me it’s even worse: it will charge to 80% during the times I’m working. So, when I unplug the MacBook to work somewhere off a power source, I’m left with 80%. Then, when I finish my work day, it immediately charges to 100% and stays that way until the next morning. It’s the complete opposite of what makes sense.
The AI knows what’s good for you. It’s a sign to have more work life balance. /s
That sounds like the same “Optimized BatteryCharging” option already available on older iPhone models.
I believe this would slow down charging until you need it.
I unplug my phone like 8am every weekday so when I charge at night it says it will charge slowly past 80% until 7am instead staying at 100% from 12am to 8am.
Imagine having an iPhone in 2023 after all their lawsuits and bad faith, lmao
